One of the local radio stations were just ripping into them for being utterly stupid and saying "Cut the funding"
 
Why do I feel like the heritage that binds us together is being systematically dismantled around us? CAF... Hockey Canada...

Punish the individual perpetrators, but save the institutions.

Yep, the BoD needs to fall on their swords.

But there also needs to be culture change within the heritage itself. Graham James was 30+ years ago, and its still happening.

In the case of hockey, can the game of hockey carry on outside of that particular institution as it's currently constituted?

Even if hockey "binds us together" as Canadians, do we need to put up with the shittiest of shenanigans for the sake of "hey, it's a part of our national culture/heritage"? Like someone smarter than me once said ....

IMO the whole leadership of HC needs to change.

And the PM Should be told "STFU"

From the Airborne we have CSOR
From the Red Cross we have Canada Blood Services
From the PC we have the CPC

Burning things down to rebuild leads to varied results but isn’t unprecedented. Sometimes it is needed, sometimes it’s not.

Any sports organization that finds only a single sexual assault compensation fund to be insufficient probably needs to be burned down and rebuilt. That’s not an attack on our culture, it’s an organization being seen for what it is-profoundly screwed up, and enabling of some terrible behaviour.

Hockey is a Canadian institution. Hockey Canada is not.
 
Considering that the executives of Hockey Canada still can't figure out that it is not acceptable to sexually assault women. And Hush money is not how to deal with it
And I am sorry but the victims here are not the Board of Directors of Hockey Canada. No matter how much they bleat that they are.

...maybe they figured "leading by example" from the highest level(s) of the country meant it was okay for them too? 🤷‍♂️
 
Regardless of how big of crap pumps Hockey Canada may or may not be…in what way is it the business of the Prime Minister and Parliament to involve themselves in this?

Sure- cut off public funding, but surely there are more pressing issues for the Government?

Except the organization was purposely hiding criminal acts by paying victims for their silence using taxpayer money and money from parent registration fees. This is well beyond individual issues: This is a systemic problem that requires an organizational shift.
