I haven't visited Free Canadian Samples for a little while and thought I'd check it out on a slow Sunday. Imagine my disgust when one of the first posts I saw was the one about a woman with two black eyes. Violence against women is not a joking matter. I am saddened that three moderators commented on this post but did not remove it and warn "Jackie" that this is no more tolerable than if she had made a joke about smacking a black person to teach them their place. All of the moderators should read the information below so that they are aware of Canada's stand on this.
NATIONAL DAY OF REMEMBRANCE AND ACTION ON VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN December 6

Did you know that December 6 is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada? Established in 1991 by the Parliament of Canada, this day marks the anniversary of the murders in 1989 of 14 young women at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal. They died because they were women.
As well as commemorating the 14 young women whose lives ended in an act of gender-based violence that shocked the nation, December 6 represents an opportunity for Canadians to reflect on the phenomenon of violence against women in our society. It is also an opportunity to consider the women and girls for whom violence is a daily reality, and to remember those who have died as a result of gender-based violence. And finally, it is a day on which communities can consider concrete actions to eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls.
