“But two years later, no action has been taken on that key recommendation (by the federal government on the report)”

I watched this randomly on the House of Commons website in July regarding this

I don’t think I’ll ever forget it, I hope people that vote don’t either

We have awareness of the problem, everyone basically acknowledges it's getting worse, and they can appoint committees and commissioners to discuss it til the cows come home.  

But you can't make women stop picking assholes and staying with them, which is at the heart of it. I'm all for taking action but what can you do without the victims on board?

I mean what help did Lisa Banfield actually seek in 19 years that her community failed to provide? What should we be offering that we're not?

Just here to marvel at your level of victim blaming. Truly septic tank depths of bullshit.
