It took me 30 years to tell anyone. And I’m far from alone. The courage of survivors will always be stronger than Donald Trump’s hate. The lives of survivors will always be more important than Brett Kavanaugh’s career.

Buried inside The New Yorker’s bombshell story on a second woman coming forward to allege sexual misconduct by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, is a disturbing paragraph about the hard-drinking culture at his high school.

Researchers have identified a new genetic syndrome in a 3-year-old girl who, for more than two years, has gone without diagnosis. The discovery is the first to link a particular gene, known as ODC1, or ornithine decarboxylase, to developmental problems in a human, something that up until now, has been only seen in mice. The findings, which appear in the American Journal of Medical Genetics , coul

India is thinking about making itself independent of US big tech companies: For some Indian political leaders, it is as if their nation — which was ruled by Britain for a century until 1947 — is being conquered by colonial powers all over again. And they are determined to stop it. For Google, Facebook, Amazon and others, India’s moves would curb a lucrative business avenue — especially after so m

Many pragmatic, experienced veterans of the New Democratic Party of Canada are preparing for the Party to be nearly obliterated in the upcoming 2019 Election under the leadership of Jagmeet Singh. The reasons are many, but none more public than Singh's handling of the Erin Weir and Christine Moore harassment allegations in the Federal Caucus.

I joined the federal New Democrats in November, 1981 and after 37 years of continuous membership, I had my membership in the Federal NDP cancelled in the spring of 2018 specifically because of the horrible performance by new leader, Jagmeet Singh.

By Joan Bryden — Sep 6 2018 OTTAWA — Jagmeet Singh won't allow scorned MP Erin Weir to run as a New Democrat in the next election — a decision that has caused a rupture between the NDP leader and the party's long-standing members in Saskatchewan.
