A sleep-deprived Catherine Galliford is running on adrenalin and ragged nerves after a wild week that saw the RCMP corporal rock her employer with claims that she was sexually harassed and bullied by senior officers, even as she served as the spokesperson for two of the biggest investigations in the force's history. Galliford was calm and competent on camera as the public face of the RCMP's investigations into the Air India bombings that claimed 329 lives, and serial murders committed by Robert Pickton on his Port Coquitlam pig farm. But while Galliford's allegations of harassment reached as far as the House of Commons this week, one of her most explosive claims is only now being made public. Galliford says the rampant sexism within the ranks of the RCMP that ruined her health and career may also have contributed to the mismanagement of the Pickton murder investigation, at a cost of many lives.…

time of the incident, therefore the administrative subpoena to Verizon landline would not have turned up Gabe’s home records; an additional subpoena would have been required to obtain this information. The conclusion of the Massachusetts State Police report states “A review of phone records does not support WILLOUGHBY’S claim that a phone call occurred between GABE and MARY GRASING on October 18, 2011 at approximately 4:00 P.M.” Without seeing the additional records, if any, Mason was in possession of, it is unclear how this conclusion could be drawn. What analysis of Mary Grasing’s home records does show is that Marshard’s landline and Gabe’s landline were in contact with the Mary Grasing between October 17, 2011 and October 19, 2011, this is consistent with Willoughby and BenDavid’s version of the facts. These records should have…

The book I chose for my independent reading project was The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, by Michelle Hodkin. I would recommend this book to people between the ages of 14 and 18. Hopkin's book is in the category of young adult novels which describes the ages I would recommend. There were definitely negative points to this book but the positives outweighed them.…

Yes, Joan Mungo should intervene in Clarion’s political culture. Joan should recommend putting a policy in place that would eliminate any political discourse within the workplace. It is extremely hard to put a policy into place that would only limit political to certain, non-personal topics, all the while attempting to enforce those rules and make them clear to all employees. Joan can't possibly know everyone’s situations in their life and then attempt to write up a policy that would eliminate any discussions that could possibly offend a particular employee. Therefore, the provisions should include a no tolerance policy on any political discussions as well as any objects that may signify a person’s political beliefs (ex.…
III. Racial Struggle after Integration James Meredith was met with much hostility during his attempt to enroll. Meredith was halted by Mississippi’s governor, Ross Barnett, who issued a statement denying his admission to the University (Sansing, 1999). Despite the United States Supreme Court’s order to admit Meredith to the university and several attempts by U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy to sway Barnett, the governor refused to abide by legal orders. Finally, Robert Kennedy and Barnett agreed on a solution.…
You should always have other options. This is when adolescents above 16 should start caring about medical and life choices, at first it will be a huge slap in the face, but then again that is life. Today in this time I do believe that is what these adolescents need, something to scare them at first but then realize this is how life and choices you will make, will be. With this being said I would hope any young adults will not have to deal with life changing medical choices. When making their decision I hope they would have support from whoever makes them feel like they are making the right decision.…
Typically these needs are met by family and friends but for John this will include his healthcare workers. Transitioning from paediatric to adult health care services is a big change for those who grow up with CF. John may have moved teams within the same hospital or moved to a new team in a different hospital. There is no set transition process in Ireland so the process will vary from one hospital to another. The case study describes John as having spent an extensive amount of his teenage years in hospital and seeing the hospital staff more than his own brothers and sisters.…
This paper attempts to explore the health laws surrounding minor consent and refusal in Canada. Throughout this paper, particular attention will be given to a case AC vs. Manitoba [2009] within the Supreme Court of Canada and Van Mol vs. Ashmore [1999], within the British Columbia Court of Appeal. Many legalities and ethical issues surround this topic and concerns arise when particular decisions are made on behalf of the minor. Canadian federal legislation considers anyone under the age of sixteen a minor. The age of a minor is not the only considering factor to medical consent, but rather capacity to make informed decisions.…
Cassandra was forced to have chemotherapy treatment. The medical side is saying that Cassandra should continue to have chemotherapy forced upon her because of the high chances of good health in the future while Cassandra’s lawyers say that she has the right to refuse treatment because she is mature and is old enough to make her own decisions. The courts are trying to find an answer to this question, “Newborns and young children cannot make such judgments for themselves, but what about a teen who will reach the age of majority within a year?” (Macklin, Ruth. " The Ethical Dilemma of Forced Chemotherapy on a Teen."…
