A women’s rights group here in France has spoken to FRANCE 24 about the need for change once the court case that has shocked France and world is over. 

In the mass rape case, Gisèle Pelicot was drugged and raped by her husband, who also invited more than 50 other men via the internet to do the same while he filmed what went on. 

Elsa Labouret from Osez le féminisme! (Dare to be a feminist!) said that while the ongoing trial is shocking and disgusting, she and her team deal with many of the same issues on a weekly basis. “It’s showing a lot of things that we’ve known for a long time about violence against women”, Labouret said, pointing out that “over half of sexual violence happens in relationships”.

The most progressive countries in Europe have the highest rates of intimate partner violence. This is called the Nordic Paradox.

If there is a direct relationship between progressiveness and violence against women, then one would expect a significant increase in such crimes in Canada since the far-left Trudeau became Prime Minister in 2014. And, guess what... 

Violent Crime Surges in Canada’s Major Cities

Violent crime is surging in some of Canada’s major cities, with sexual assault rates showing the largest increase over the short and long term, according to a new report.

Sexual assault cases climbed in eight of nine major cities over the past seven years, with Ottawa being the exception to the trend, according to a study by the Macdonald Laurier Institute (MLI). The incidence of sexual assault has risen since 2016 in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal, Peel, Ont., and York, Ont., with the last nearly doubling from 2016 to 2023.

“In recent years there has been a surge in violent crime across Canada as a whole,” says the report authored by Dave Snow and Rickard Audas, senior fellows at MLI. “We found that violent crime was increasing in many cities in the short-term, most notably for sexual assaults and robberies.”

Winnipeg and Edmonton recorded the highest number of sexual assault cases during the seven-year period. In 2023, Edmonton had a sexual assault rate of 108.64 cases per 100,000 people, while Winnipeg saw a rate of 107.76. Toronto followed at 97.8 cases.

The rate in Peel, on the other hand, was 52.15 cases last year, the lowest among all major cities.

The study’s goal was to analyze crime trends at a local level. To do so, the authors looked at 10 years of police-reported violent crime records from nine major cities, which they say account for one-third of the Canadian population.

They considered four crime categories: homicide, aggravated assault, sexual assault, and robbery. They did not include Vancouver data on sexual assault because of differences in how it reports the crime, they noted.

I have mentioned many times in other reports that 'sin is progressive'. The question now is: 'Is progressiveness sin'? Not in a general sense, but in the specific sense of how it is applied in far-left leaning countries.
