Here is some perspective. In 2006 in a country of 34-35 million people there was 78 spousal homicides out of a total of 605 murders in Canada. The vast majority of these murder victims were men as it is every year. Not all spousal homicides are reported as such. Women are devilishly clever at killing their spouses and sometimes these killings are reported as something other than DV. If a new boyfriend (or girlfriend conspiracy as in the Nicky Puddicombe - turned lesbian- murder of her boyfriend Dennis Hoy) is coerced into killing the husband, if a contractor is used, if undetectable methods are employed, or if it just plain appears as accidental it will not appear as a spousal killing. The trend for females being killed is downward showing a total of 56 while male killings went up to 21 from 12.
I would further want you to understand that there could be as many as 2,000 deaths of men by suicide per year due to family court indignities and false accusations related to the corrupt Divorce Industry in this country. That is a serious number. All deaths are tragic but I believe the pendulum has swung way too far to the left. Put another way when dealing with per million couples we see 999,997.7 females do not kill their partners and 999,993 men do not kill their female partners.
The feminists whine and the eunuchs bow down just like we saw with the obsequious President O-Bow-ma to the Emperor of Japan and pander. Its is clear as a bell that in terms of value females have it and men do not. We are disposable.
Family violence in Canada: A statistical profile, 2005, a comprehensive report from Stats Can shows an estimated 7% of women and 6% of men representing 653,000 women and 546,000 men in a current or previous spousal relationship encountered spousal violence during the five years up to and including 2004. You can find the report at this link. Http://www.statcan.ca/Daily/English/050714/d050714a.htm The feminists whine and the thlibias bow down just like we saw with the obsequious President O-Bow-ma to the Emperor of Japan and pander.
Its is clear as a bell that in terms of value females have it and men do not. We are disposable despite the fact DV is pretty much equal in this country and in many instances the instigator of the DV is the female. In the following study she is 70% likely to start the abuse. http://pn.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/full/42/15/31-a . Who gets arrested is an entirely different matter. The memory of this loss to Canada has become irrevocably dispersed in the clouded victim feminist gender political ideology and the politicians all act like the panderers they are. Its a pity.MJM
Helena Guergis: Twenty years later, honouring the École Polytechnique victims
On Dec. 6, 1989, 20 years ago tomorrow, a gunman entered a classroom in Montreal’s École Polytechnique. He separated the men from the women, then shot the women, shouting, “I hate feminists!” as he did so. Fourteen young women died. Ten more were injured. Four men were also shot.
As Canadians across the land prepare to observe the 20th anniversary of the Montreal Massacre, it seems a fitting time to take stock of where we are in the fight to end violence against women.
Canadian women are rightfully counted among the most fortunate in the world, our rights protected by law and supported by the progressive attitudes of citizens male and female.
Yet while considerable progress has been made, there is still much work to be done.
While Canada thankfully has not experienced an incident of the type and magnitude of the Montreal Massacre since 1989, we are becoming more aware of a variety of forms of violence against women that are less public but similarly horrifying.
These forms of violence against women include cultural practices, such as so-called honour killings, genital mutilation and forced marriage. Another danger to women is human trafficking — literally, modern-day slavery.
Canada’s aboriginal women in particular are vulnerable to abuse and are three times more likely than other women to experience violence, and five times more likely to die as a result.
Improvements in technology have introduced new dangers for women. Cyber-stalking, by way of social networking sites and email, has been made possible by technologies that did not exist even a decade ago.
Fifteen years ago, when I was working as a frontline volunteer at a rape crisis centre, these forms of abuse were not even on our radar screen. Today, we are more aware of the fact that violence against women is taking many forms and that we need new tools to face new challenges.
As Minister of State for the Status of Women, I am particularly proud of the steps our government has taken to address these challenges. Since taking office, our Conservative government has passed the Tackling Violent Crime violent or sexual crimes to service their sentences from their homes. While the bill has been stalled and gutted by the Act and made significant investments in policing, youth crime prevention, the renewal of federal corrections, combating gun crime, and supporting victims of crime.
Our government is still working to end to the use of conditional sentences, which allows criminals convicted of opposition in the past, our government believes those who commit serious crimes should serve their time behind bars, not in the comfort of their homes.
Innovations at Status of Women mean there has been a 69% increase in the number of groups that can access funding to deliver programs at the grass-roots level, directly to the women who need them.
My colleague Joy Smith has introduced bill C-268 to combat human trafficking, which will amend the Criminal Code to include a minimum prison term of five years for cases in which the trafficked victims were under the age of 18.
Immigration Minister Jason Kenny recently released a new citizen’s guide which explicitly states that “Canada’s openness and generosity do not extend to barbaric cultural practices.” Indian and Northern Affairs Minister Chuck Strahl is working to establish matrimonial property rights for First Nations women on reserves through bill C-8.
Ending violence against women is not something government can do on its own. Every Canadian has a role to play — whether by offering support to a woman caught in an abusive situation, or teaching young children that all forms of violence and abuse are wrong.
We can start referring to “forced marriages” as kidnap and rape, and by refusing to use the term “honour killings” as though it actually has something to do with honour, rather than being the most heinous form of dishonourable murder. In order to end violence against women, we need to face it, and to name it for what it is.
Our government is united in its sorrow for the women who are victims of violence, and united in its resolve to end violence against women. On Dec. 6th, Canadians will pause to remember and grieve for the women who died in the Montreal Massacre. I believe we serve their memory best by committing to face, and end, violence against the women and girls who are with us today.

For starters, how about taking the garbles out of paragraphs 10 and 11 so we can actually understand what Ms. Guergis said.

This Minister thinks we support her government who have rolled back many of the fights for woman's equality by eliminating the court challenges program, the move to abolish the long gun program thereby putting women's safety at risk. Her government is against woman's equality and no amount of
nice(y), nice(y) will change our thinking in this regard.
by lilith4 3:40 PM
If this Minister thinks that by making nice(y) nice(y) at this time of remembering the women murdered twenty years ago, she is badly mistaken. Her government have cut back/or out programs that supported woman's equality, such as the court challenge program. What they did to the Status of Women funding is unspeakable. Now they are trying to abolish the long gun registry - what hypocrites!

"honour killings, genital mutilation and forced marriage. Another danger to women is human trafficking ..."
Dear minister: Give us real numbers. How many women in Canada are victims in the above categories?
Is it 100 people? That works out to 0.000006% Possibly, it's 25 people; that works out to 0.000002%. Tragic, but statistically it's in the category of those who fall off high cliffs whilst polishing their nails.
As I've said elsewhere, this day is now soiled by anti-male slanders and gender politics. It's intended to make rational men shut up and pay up. It's a platform for the victimizers of husbands, fathers, and sons; for lies and cheap-shot amalgams.
I see you're a State minister. I want my tax money back, and you can run your ministry on your own time.

Media Watch:
Yesterday, Mother Corpse prepped us for this Day on the radio (As It Happens) by announcing the piece it would run. First, it would talk about the women victims of Marc Lepine; second, it would interview Marc Lepine's mother.
The latter would, of course, explain why all of Lepine's frustrations were the fault of his abusive father. She raised the kid, but there ya are, it's all daddy's fault.
Doesn't matter whether any of this is clinically provable. It's all part of CBC's message: males in the story are genetically guilty, Even Unto the Hundreth Generation. This is the single note sounded on the radio but also campuses for the past 20 years.
It reflects an ideological drive, but also the sexual orientation of feminism, its hard-core leadership: Remove men from women's lives and the goal is realized (for us, the unloved leaders).
by rbren 5:29 PM
Being victimized is a tragedy. Playing the role of a professional victim is annoying.
Assuming a long gun registry will make women safer than surely registering knives must follow. After all, knives are responsible for five times the number of deaths as guns.
On the issue of equality, I would suggest women take up plumbing, electrical work and carpentry or choose a career in the military with more frequency. Maybe then we could hear a remake of an old song with a real woman singing, I'm a Line Gal For the County.
It's a shame to let men have all those heroic effort jobs; like restoring power in snow storms, restoring the heat on a winter's night and picking stranded fishers out of dinghies during a gale in out-dated helicopters.
In the meantime, men will still be treated as second class citizens in family court, often forced to be the major losers in wealth transfer schemes due to the curious reality of "no fault" divorce.

He was a nutcase. There is no defence against nutcases.
by CanadianGulag 7:05 PM
I'm glad the phony long gun registry will soon be gone. It has nothing to do with ending gun crime. I'm glad the Trudeau Court Challenges is gone another retarded idea. What people should take from the Ecole tradegy is that the killer was a Moslem who hated women. Instead the Femfascists twisted it into a scam were all men hated and oppressed women. Which is a crock of shit.
by CanadianGulag 7:10 PM
Steyn quote. (Thus, every December 6, our own unmanned Dominion lowers its flags to half-mast and tries to saddle Canadian manhood in general with the blame for the Montreal massacre -- the 14 women murdered by Marc Lepine, born Gamil Gharbi, the son of an Algerian Muslim wife-beater, though you wouldn't know that from the press coverage. Yet the defining image of contemporary Canadian maleness is not M Lepine/Gharbi but the professors and the men in that classroom, who, ordered to leave by the lone gunman, meekly did so, and abandoned their female classmates to their fate -- an act of abdication that would have been unthinkable in almost any other culture throughout human history. The "men" stood outside in the corridor and, even as they heard the first shots, they did nothing. And, when it was over and Gharbi walked out of the room and past them, they still did nothing. Whatever its other defects, Canadian manhood does not suffer from an excess of testosterone.)
by Rectificatif 7:33 PM
The Steyn quote is good. But why would you expect male heroism to occur, to say nothing of chivalry, when they're either sneered at or banned as politically incorrect?
True, this was an engineering faculty. But we can't say what these men were thinking, so let's stop assigning the blame to them. We could also look at the environment.
This was, after all, 1989, the Roaring First Wave of campus feminism. It's almost as bad today. In the humanities, in poli-sci, psychology, communications, all over the place, males who get university tenure are genderfixed, ideological snivelers who kiss feminism's broad ass for their PhDs.
So no, don't look for male values in any campus.
Beyond that, this is a day of mourning. Mourn, and let politicians stay silent.
by rbren 8:00 PM
While we are at it, do you suppose we can spare a thought for the 2,200 souls who died on December 6, 1917 in a waterfront explosion.
by MikeMurphy 8:06 PM
The Minister panders but even the hard core lefty feminists like @ lilith4 Dec 05 2009 3:40 PM suffer from ideologically induced cognitive dissonance because this woman is a Conservative.
There is no realistic perspective from the victimfemis on this day of mourning. They have turned the tragic death of these women by a Muslim influenced nut bar raised by a single mother in an inconsistent home life into the personification of male patriarchal oppression. And as the Steyn article referred to above alludes we have a lot of eunuchs in this country who have been so feminized they don't know what to do when confronted by a madman. Leadership flies out the window and they cower like the feminists thinking only of their own victimization or the potential for it.
Here is some perspective. In 2006 in a country of 34-35 million people there was 78 spousal homicides out of a total of 605 murders in Canada. The vast majority of these murder victims were men as it is every year. Not all spousal homicides are reported as such.
