The LGBT Purge and the fight for equal rights in Canada

Setterington, Ken,


From the 1950s to 1980s, the Canadian government persecuted LGBTQ+ employees and tried to erase them from the military, the RCMP and the civil service under the guise that they were a "security risk", an event that became known as the LGBT Purge. Those who were suspected of being homosexual were put under government surveillance, interrogated and intimidated. They were fired from their jobs. Many quit to avoid being exposed. Some committed suicide as a result. In the 1980s, victims of the Purge fought back with a class-action suit against the government that helped shed light on the systemic discrimination that members of the LGBTQ+ community faced from the government and the rest of society. In 2017, the federal government issued a formal apology on behalf of the government and Canadian society for the treatment of members of the LGBTQ+ community. In this highly visual book, author Ken Setterington presents the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights using photographs, first-person accounts and excerpts from archival documents. Significant events in the struggle include the establishment of Pride parades, the Bathhouse Raids, the decriminalization of homosexuality, the passing of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the LGBT Purge and the legalization of same-sex marriage. While the government's formal acknowledgement of past injustices started Canada on a better path toward equality, there is still work to be done.

Problems vs symptoms


Problems vs. Symptoms is an eye-opening educational video that explores the distinction between symptoms and root problems, using climate change as an example. Drawing parallels to diagnosing an illness, the video sheds light on how symptoms like rising sea levels, droughts, and wildfires are indicators of a deeper issue: global warming caused by the greenhouse effect. It simplifies the complex concept of climate change by likening it to a medical scenario, wherein symptoms are signals of a more significant problem. By uncovering the core problem of increased greenhouse gas emissions disrupting the earth's natural balance, the video encourages students to address the root cause for lasting solutions, much like a doctor prescribing treatment for an illness. It emphasizes the importance of tackling the underlying issue of global warming to alleviate the symptoms of climate change, fostering a deeper understanding of this critical environmental challenge.
