; and Jennifer Charlesworth, B.C.’s representative for children and youth, came together with others to launch the Transform the Family Justice System Collaborative earlier this year: to move the family justice system away from the unintentional harm of its current practices and toward promoting family well-being. All 10 of the identified ACEs are at play in the family justice system, said B.C. lawyer Jane Morley of the Transform the Family Justice System Collaborative, but the system was never designed to address them. “When we look at the family justice system through the eyes of children, youth and family members, we see things differently,” said Bauman. These amendments don’t address the systemic culture of minimizing family violence that many with violent partners continue to face in family court, Hrymak said.

Toronto police issue arrest warrant in death of former CBC journalist
Toronto police have identified a suspect in the random assault that killed longtime CBC producer Michael Finlay, an investigator with the force said Friday as he pleaded with the wanted man to turn himself in. Hillier said early indications suggest there was no connection between the victim and suspect and the attack appears to have been random. CBC previously identified Finlay as the victim earlier this week, a fact Hillier confirmed on Friday. “Michael will be remembered as an exceptional storyteller, documentary-maker and editor,” Perry wrote in the letter, noting Finlay worked on several CBC programs. The public broadcaster said the longtime former CBC producer travelled the world to create radio documentaries.

Bottoms up: the messy reality about famous alcoholic writers
After listing 10 celebrated American authors who battled alcoholism, the writer said: “They all drank. In his 2021 book “In Love With Hell: Drink in the Lives and Work of Eleven Writers,” British novelist and poet William Palmer puts it clearly. What he did not mention was some of Carver’s observations about his alcoholism made after he had sobered up. He counted the final decade of his life, before dying at 50 of cancer, as his greatest accomplishment and gift. He lived to age 96 and recommended writers “smoke like a fish and drink like a chimney.”Jim Coyle , a former Toronto Star journalist, had his last drink in 1993.
