Thursday, August 30, 2012 BLOG POSTS  | Colleen Westendorf: Hey Krista, Not Dressing "Like a Whore" Will Not Prevent Rape
Last night, Krista Ford, who happens to be the niece of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, tweeted what she seemed to have considered helpful "safety" advice following a Toronto Police press conference re: a recent string of sexual assaults in Toronto. What Krista said was problematic for many reasons. She placed the onus for preventing sexual assault on a potential victim, pointing to clothes as a reason or inciting factor of sexual assault (time and time again proven to be untrue). When anyone says that "dressing like a whore" makes someone liable to be raped, they're blaming existing survivors for their own victimization. |  | Romeo Saganash: Harper's in Need of Some Real Northern Exposure
This month I visited the northernmost region in my riding, Nunavik, and met with people from all walks of life there.

The Media's Excuse for a Floridian Vacay
 Long story short, Tampa's crawling with Canadians at the moment, all of whom are seeking to justify their orange juice per diems with ever-more dazzling examples of skilled foreign correspondency at the Republican National Convention. What our progressive friends in the press can't seem to agree on, however, is precisely how these slack-jawed troglodytes matter to Canada. |  | Abubakar Kasim: Nude and Rude Prince Harry Proves Canada is Too Mature for the Monarchy
It was disgusting, disgraceful and despicable to say the least to see the photoes of the naked prince which went viral online and around the world. If that is how members of the royal family behave, then Canadians would be far better to operate the vehicle themselves without anyone else telling them what to do. | | MOST POPULAR ON HUFFINGTONPOST.CA |
