@lookintochat Yeah. I’m in Canada and there’s overlap of issues but it’s obviously different in terms of mat/parental leave, but we also have a lot of daycare struggles and are far from universal.
Canadian diplomat Richard Colvin appeared before a parliamentary committee in 2009 and made a bombshell charge — that detainees taken captive by Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan and transferred to local authorities were almost certainly being tortured and abused. The issue escalated into a political crisis when the Conservatives refused to release documents on the issue and prorogued Parliament in December, 2009, shutting down the parliamentary committee that was probing the abuse allegations.
