This week Laurel and Sam sit back and have an honest and raw conversation about intimate partner violence and domestic assaults, as well as violence against women.
While all of us know that this is an issue that remains pervasive in the world we live in, it is not something we talk about often enough. This week marks the 34th anniversary of the Montreal Massacre at l’Ecole Polytechnique. 14 women were murdered that day. 10 women were injured and the soul focus of the assassin was to kill women because he perceived them to be a threat against what he thought his future should be.
If you live in Canada and need emergency shelter support, then please dial 2-1-1.
If you are in an emergency situation, whereby you need police to attend, then please dial 9-1-1 and order a pepperoni pizza. 9-1-1 operators are trained to understand that this is a call for help so they will confirm your address (as any good pizza place would do) and they will send officers immediately.
