I have now spoken with countless women who have had their debilitating gender based violence cases either thrown out or “resolved” with a peace bond. Pedophiles are going also free under Chapter 11b of the Charter of Rights & Freedoms. The current system sides with the criminal regardless of how horrific their offense is, no matter how much evidence is against them. Nobody is immune to the horrors of the system. Thank you to this incredible team for all the work they’re doing to protect Canadians @emilyssstory @robertrotenberg @kristynwongtam #notimeforjustice #canada #violence #protect #humanrights @globalnews

This is a #humanrights issue, Canada. How can you call yourself democratic whilst denying victims their rights? All I wanted was a trial for my attempted murder. That’s all Emily @emilyssstory wanted for her rape. This can’t possibly be the country I knew growing up, but alas, here we are. #canadian #notimeforjustice #government #failure #murder #law
Tomorrow we shine some light on the darkness of Canada’s “Justice” System at Queens Park discussing the abysmal judicial failures that have too long plagued us. This is a human rights issue. Please show your support by signing the petition – link in bio. I’m joined by another brave woman and my now dear friend @emilyssstory who has suffered similarly in the system. This is #metoo #justicedenied Special thanks to our allies @kristynwongtam @jillslastword @waterloompp & all other MPPs and officials who have taken a stand to protect Canadians. We will not stop until there is legislative change. Photo by x @beepsmith #protectyourneighbour #canadian #justice #reform #emilysstory #standwithcait #humanrights #notimeforjustice
Do the right thing. It’s not always the easiest- but do the right thing. 💜 See you Wednesday at Queens Park to debate @lisagretzky Private Members Bill declaring #DomesticViolence #IntimatePartnerViolence an epidemic in #Ontario. —- thank you for the invitation to speak. I’m lucky he didn’t successfully murder me that night; I will fight for a Justice system that actually provides Justice until my last day. ⚖️🇨🇦#onpoli will you be there @fordnationdougford @dougdowney_bsom #canada #rights #survivor #justice #change #believe #toronto photo by @willg.macneil

GREAT NEWS. Subcommittees have been struck. The @fordnationdougford Government has the opportunity to put Bill 173 at third reading or send to Royal Assent & PASS THIS BILL. We shouldn’t have to beg for our lives, yet here we are. https://www.kristynwongtam.ca/act-now Thank you to Ward 9 & City Councilor @mckenzie.kieran for moving a motion to unanimously support the Bill. Please help me move this forward. I cannot do this without you all. I’d like to have this passed before summer hiatus at Queens Park. Before another 60 women are killed by their partner & their children are left in perilous situations. Please write to your MPPs and City Councillors. Share the petitions with your friends at work & family at home. Check in on your friends you’ve been worried about. Give love, be love. @lisagretzky @kristynwongtam @waterloompp @jillslastword #ipv #domestic #safety #love #closer #Bill173 #onpoli #ontario #canada #queenspark
I am survivor of nearly lethal domestic violence AND a victim of the Canadian “Justice” System. @emilyssstory & I are speaking out to warn Canadians that the courts have #notimeforjustice no matter how heinous the crime. @emilyssstory & I have become dear friends; we don’t have to explain the abuses or repercussions of our redundant judicial experiences to each other. @emilyssstory & I have received life sentences because our perpetrators were never even brought by to trial. @emilyssstory are here for each other & here for you- the Canadian community. Thank you for your heartfelt support. YOU are making a difference. @citynewsto I appreciate you all for leading the charge to share the somber position of our country 💜💜💜 @themelanieng @jillslastword @kristynwongtam @waterloompp @lisagretzky #standwithemily #canadian #justice #reform #community #standwithcait #domestic #violence
We’re here to stay. @fordnationdougford time to declare #IPV an Epidemic. Members of your community raised almost $1 million in 1 night to support survivors. It’s time you do the same by standing on the right side of history. @sheltermovers #change #stay #peace thank you @mimielabyrubydenis & @lintervalle for your support & the perfect colour dress ! 💜💜 @georgepimentel1 #onpoli #gala

Today on @theagendatvo with @spaikin @constvarlo — (forgive the Cali mountain WiFi 🤗) << Ken tells Barbie he’s just going to pop into the library to see if he “can find a book on trucks.” >>> The line has a whole new meaning @barbiethemovie Took that one to heart, we see. Let’s talk @fordnationdougford #justice #trucks #humanrights
Auto thefts are taking priority over #attemptedmurder and #rape. Whilst all crimes are crimes & no ones experience should be minimized, there should be no time limits on person on person violence. @dougdowney_bsom @fordnationdougford enough excuses. In your newly released budget you DECREASED the amount of funding for the “Justice” system. I fled to live in America, as Canada is no longer safe; don’t you see the irony in that? I want a safe Canada. That does not happen when violent criminals are not even made to stand trial. I’m willing to speak peacefully if you are. Thank you to my comrades @kristynwongtam @emilyssstory @robertrotenberg I know we will make sincere change. Thank you @ctv @siomoctv #toronto #canada #notimeforjustice #abuser #domestic #violence #government #canadian #crimes #onpoli
There’s no shame: it’s happened to you or someone you know. 💔 The current laws are not reflective of cultural awareness or human rights. We’ve created a tsunami of support in the last month; let’s keep riding it. Remember, YOU own the government. Please join us as we take another step forwarded in judicial reform with BILL 189: Lydia’s Law. https://www.catherinefife.com/lydiaslaw On WEDNESDAY MAY 15th arrive between 4-5pm at Queens Park, Ontario Legislature. The big giant building in the middle of the circle 🥳 An aside – that day is also my birthday. It’s a Celebrate Debate. Come rave about life, healing & friendship- my first Toronto birthday since attempted M in 2021. There’s no where else I’d rather be. Your presence is the biggest gift you could ever give. 💜🎉 DM me to RSVP & share this flyer around. Love, Cait @waterloompp @lisagretzky @kristynwongtam @jillslastword @antoinemoonen @georgepimentel1 #lydiaslaw #bill189 #justice #reform #canada #sa #heal #love #celebrate #debate

@fordnationdougford & @dougdowney_bsom I invite you to have an honest conversation with respect, grace and consideration. Courts are a public service. My family retained high profile private counsel – still to no avail because OUR courts are not staffed. Leave the excuses at the door. No more hiding behind placating emails; we’re now in the public ring. This is garnering international attention for all the wrong reasons. The world is watching you. Your allocated funds were NOT appropriated. Car thefts are not comparable to #attemptedmurder #rape #humanrights #familyrights #childrights I am willing to speak peacefully, if you are. #canada 💜💜💜
It’s not your fault, honey. 💜 The problem is with the perpetrator. The problem is with failing Governments who refuse to listen when their citizens have spoken. When survivors speak. When they let the perpetrator go free. Again. And again, and again and again and again and…. Enough. Pass Bill 173. We’re not going away @fordnationdougford @dougdowney_bsom There are no innocent by standers, when innocent people’s lives are lost. Canada can’t hide behind the guise of the “nice” country anymore. Thank you to the dear @siomoctv @ctv @ctvtoronto for giving us the voice to speak. #ipv #dv #survivors #justice #heal #ctv #ontario #humanrights #victimsrights #sisters #love #government
Yup, that’s right, I said loosey goosey. Sometimes you just don’t have the proper words for how lethally uncomfortable it is to know your attempted murderer is free to go without consequence after 8 serious charges. If you don’t think #IPV affects you, think again. Please sign and share the petition in my BIO. We need Bill 173 passed before Queens Park summer hiatus. Love 💜💜 @theagendatvo @spaikin @constvarlo @kristynwongtam #onpoli #ontario #victims #rights #humanrights #peace #tvo #interview
Speech at Queens Park, April 10th 2024. We moved the government in the right direction, in a matter of 3 weeks. Your support and tenacity is protecting survivors. We thank you. BILL 173 is still not passed however. It is now being considered for 3rd reading: Please sign & share the petition. https://www.ontariondp.ca/bill-173 Thank you to my kindred @peterlaneas for the video. 💜 please watch to the end To our leaders who are listening: @lisagretzky @kristynwongtam @jillslastword @peggysattlerndp @waterloompp we thank you for giving us the grounds to speak & create legislative change. It is long overdue. We’re not going anywhere @sheltermovers @ourtawc . #ipv #domestic #free #love #government #ontario #survivors #dontgetonmymadside #advocait
epidemic: affecting or tending to affect a disproportionately large number of individuals within a population, community, or region at the same time ⚖️ I don’t even know why we have to debate it. Intimate Partner Violence IS an Epidemic which permeates through the entire community, harming more than just the victims & survivors. Yesterday, the Ontario Legislative House did something they rarely do: all Members stood in ovation to support Bill 173- declare IPV an Epidemic. This is ONE giant step forward after 6 years of Government silence on this death causing manner. They moved, because of your help. 💜🥹😭🙏 We have one more reading & we can finally vote to pass this as law. NOW we MUST show the Government we really care, to protect people still in the struggle, honor those lives needlessly taken. Please understand this is NOT a partisan issue; it’s a human rights issue. It does not matter what party you’re from, with or supporting. We need to TELL the Government that we want Bill 173 to pass so we more rapidly change laws related to #IPV #SA & protect families, children & the community from the disease of abuse & violence. PLEASE 🙏🙏💜💜 sign & share the petition: https://www.ontariondp.ca/bill-173 Show those who are scared to go home, or can’t leave, that you care. You could save someone’s life. WORLD PEACE STARTS AT #HOME 💜💜💜 @kristynwongtam @lisagretzky @maritstiles @sandy_shaw_ @city_tv #onpoli #toronto #ontario #justice #victims #survivors #love #peace
🪻✨🌸 I had the pleasure of getting together with @cait.alexander , @casey.artistry and @mimielabyrubydenis to create some really beautiful shots recently. While we know that florals for spring are indeed groundbreaking, we wanted to show the beauty, resilience and true power it takes to regrow yourself when you feel like you’ve been cut down. Where the flowers bloom so does hope. 💜 💄 @casey.artistry 👗 @mimielabyrubydenis
