Anne-Marie

Hi, Jenny and Ray.

I was just listening to your podcast and the problem with trying to find a flan base.

Big problem.

Anyways, just happened to be in a super value here in Neenah, so it's not very convenient for you both, but they are to be found and they are in some of the super values.

So if you're looking, I'm sure you can get one closer to Neenah, but FYI.

I mean, I think it's just bullshit, honestly. That's Anne-Marie. I thought I had a good understanding of Canada's history and laws. And I'm really shocked by this. And I'm just shocked at the unequal treatment between men and women. So what does it say? Does it mean that any female above the age of 14 who was abused by their teacher prior to 1988 has no legal recourse? Is that what they're saying?

Whereas if you were a male, then there is a route for legal recourse. I just find that unacceptable. Anne-Marie doesn't think prosecutors are doing their jobs. And I think there's possibilities there, but they're just not looking at this holistically enough and not really trying to dig into it. And I don't understand why.

I'm not sure if I hadn't talked to him, I'd be here now and we would have uncovered so much because he was so encouraging. And he made me understand.

I heard about this program. I don't remember where, probably on the radio or the newspaper. And so I wanted to go talk to someone.

What's great about this program is the lawyers that give you advice, they can't represent you in a civil case and they cannot represent you in a criminal case. So you can feel like they can really give you the goods on how things work. The lawyer she saw was Blair Crew.

the charge of gross indecency, I've noticed that it's commonly used where you have, in historic cases going way back to the 60s and 70s even, where you have a male teacher who's assaulted a male student. And whereas when it's a female, They're not using that charge. And so I know that the origins of that charge, gross indecency, is loaded with what I would consider negative homophobic reasons.

But notwithstanding that, the charge is there. It's available. So why can't we use it now for assaults on girls?

I can't imagine anyone can't come to the conclusion that what happened to us wasn't grossly indecent. So if they can't apply it equally, then I think it's just full of misogynistic attitudes and homophobia and all the things that have been talked about before.
