Unlike some other Crown corporations, Canada Post isn't funded by taxpayers. It needs to sustain itself through profits.
That's a load of horseshit. The postal service should be funded by Canadians, if for no other reason than Canada is a BIG country so many locations don't have access to other forms of delivery.
The feds need to stop funding big oil and start funding services that are important to the people instead.
The point of this thread is that a cop got off charges with a slap on the wrist. It is not, and never was, about what he did as much as he faces exactly zero consequences.
Later that month, LaCombe "contrived another opportunity to meet" and picked the victim up in his own car, without initially telling her where they were going, and brought her to a hotel, Paquette said.
He kidnapped her and took her to a hotel room.
In the room, he handed her a dress he bought from Value Village, and she went into the washroom but didn't change into it, the defence said. When she emerged, LaCombe picked her up without her consent, pulled her on top of him, took off her top and bra and kissed her.
Then he wants her to dress up for him AGAINST HER WILL.
You're being pedantic. Caring more about the rules of language than the fact a woman's life has been decimated by a rapey cop doesn't help your argument.
With the current hormone mixtures most oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) have a woman has a period every month (during the 7 days she either takes no pills or takes placebos) to shed the uterine lining.
There are newer OCPs and devices, called continuous-use birth control, that women can take for 84 days - 1 year (or 2 yrs for an IUD or vaginal ring, or indefinitely for a Depo-Provera injection - with the caveat that a woman may never have a period again) before stopping for one week to shed the uterine lining.
Because these are fairly new to the market there is zero longitudinal data on the safety of these products. And as stated above, long-term use can result in never having a period again, ie: never being able to conceive.
We cannot take birth control pills indefinitely. Each pack of pills only has 21 days of active drugs in them (some packets have 28 days of pills, but 7 are placebos -- this is for those of us who forget to take pills sometimes).
This is only a short-term solution meant to help the women for a few months at most.
It would not surprise me in the least to see future history books list one of the reasons for Netanyahu's escalation of genocide include that he wanted to stop the corruption trial he's in the middle of right now.
