I know this is late but it only happened yesterday... :) Dr. Mortgentaler (abortion dr and activist in Canada) received the Order of Canada award!

I expressed my disappointment over Obama's campaign, wrote about how the 1858 Lincoln/Douglas Senate debates closely mirror some arguments surrounding gay marriage, and the difference between unwanted and unplanned pregnancies.

I wrote about how nobody cares if I blog or not, and how I'm fine with that, because blogging shouldn't be a chore. Oh, and I also wrote about zombie movies and how important they are.

I gave a talk at my church yesterday. It was called “Honouring Canadian Women”, and the text of it is here:

I changed a few things on the fly, but that’s the gist. It went over quite well. People told me stories of their own work in feminism, including a 90 year old man who told me that when he was the president of the golf club near me, he got the rules changed to require gender equity (i.e. women didn’t need to be sponsored by men to join, and could hold any position on the club council).

Not a whole lot last week, just another Photo Essay and Friday Random Ten, but today I tackled the issue of guitar tab sites and why the MPA is fighting the wrong battle.

I commented briefly on Pixar's excellent use of niche marketing to get '80s men like myself to want to see WALL-E, and at more length on how good Stranger Than Fiction turned out to be, considering I've never had much love for Will Farrel.

I can't wait to have a minute (or 60) to follow all the link of what people have been writing about this week, but I have been hard at work on non-profit budgeting (jealous, much????) I did manage to fit in one post this week on my new girl crush and mixing fun and philanthropy (or not) at a bar event. Would LOVE comments on people's experiences at social fundraisers.

Oh, and also, the weird stuff people have been searching for when they found my blog.

I have set up the MORAG project – that’s Medical and Obstetric Rape Awareness Group – to raise awareness of the violation that some women experience during childbirth or a gynae procedure, at the hands of medical staff. I am also encouraging women who have experienced this to write in with their stories, which I will put up on the site to share with other women. Thanks, Debs xx
