I'm not one to think that highly of people in high office, but to describe McLachlin's speech as tone-deaf itself is bit galling. What do you propose, Mr. Butts? Do away with prima facie?

What does Butt want? To find everyone accused of a crime found guilty? To lower the bar in some quest to criminalize unwanted looks now newly classified as "sexual assault" in order to address the wrongs of the past? Where will this take us? To do away with the notion that you are innocent before being proven guilty? 

The statistic is laughably erroneous. The abject lack of statistically verifiable data furthers my incredulity. 

"The hashtag #Ibelievesurvivors is a rallying cry, not a policy prescription"

The problem is, of course, that anyone with an inkling of discomfort will label themselves as a "survivor". 

The system is broken, yes. But it's broken with respect to MANY things that affect both men and women. Why not start with making justice affordable first?
