In Medicine Wheel tradition, time and space are circular, Sacred and Life are one. All power comes from Creator at the center of the unbroken circle. As days and seasons mark changes of time, there is an endless connection to past, present and future. Four directions reach to embrace all people of Mother Earth, supported and united nurtured by healing energy. Dimensions of body, mind, heart, and spirit balance the journey of creation and the seasons of life. My story ends with Autumn, “letting go” time. Survivor Voices Autumn is the season of MIND, thought, mental and communal development. In the evening of our life, we celebrate understanding. The integrity and maturity of our collective wisdom is symbolized by the essential flow of water and tears of healing. This is a time for gratitude and discernment, reflection and release, for exploring ideas and learning to connect. We claim the vision of unity under one Creator. Seasons of Life ~ Autumn Page 6 of 137 Autumn in Canada offers bright leaves, changing colors, harvest, new school terms, shorter days, and the beginning of frost in the air. It is a time when people hope for the generously sunny days of so-called “Indian summer.” The first holiday, Thanksgiving, is traditionally a celebration for the bounty that would provide sustenance through the cold months ahead. As provisions are prepared for storage, attention also turns to shoring up shelters and ensuring adequate fuel for winter warmth. The brilliant panorama of autumn colours is caused by trees adapting to survive the cold months of winter. They become dormant, alive without actively growing, to maintain their water balance and store energy. As the leaves prepare to fall, different coloured pigments appear. Birch trees and aspens are yellow, poplars orange, and Canadian maples bright red. Weather plays a role in how long the colours last. On the prairies, cold wintery gusts often strip the trees quickly. In eastern provinces, the pigments last longer, mellowing into metallic shades of copper, gold, bronze and rust rather than dispersing in the wind. The spiritual animal for the West is the bear, the element, water. The bear symbolizes reflection and introspection, hibernating for half the year after nourishing itself. Water is essential for continual refreshment. In autumn we seek the ability to go deep within ourselves to heal what is necessary.

  • The Human Trafficking Crusade: a Content Analysis of Canadian Newspaper Articles
    The Human Trafficking Crusade: A Content Analysis of Canadian Newspaper Articles Shannon Fournier A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master’s degree in Globalization and International Development School of International Development and Global Studies Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa © Shannon Fournier, Ottawa, Canada, 2020 ii Abstract Although human trafficking was not a new concept, it gained increased attention across the United States and Canada in the first two decades of the 21st century. To better understand the Canadian anti-trafficking movement, this thesis analyzed the discourse on the topic in six local and national daily newspapers between 2008 and 2018. The goal of this thesis was to investigate the emergence of human trafficking as a social problem. Using social constructionism as a point of departure, a critical discourse analysis was conducted in NVivo of the quotes made by human trafficking experts in Canadian media. The results of this analysis suggest that an Unofficial Christian Coalition emerged in Canada, which – assisted by the media – led a moral crusade against human trafficking and pushed for the adoption of restrictive sex work legislation in Canada. Key words: human trafficking, sex trafficking, sex work, sex trade, prostitution iii Acknowledgement Throughout the writing of this thesis I have received a great deal of support and assistance. I would first like to thank my supervisor, Chris Bruckert, whose expertise was invaluable throughout every step of this process. Your support, guidance, and rigorous work ethic pushed me to be a better researcher and writer than I thought I could be.

Young innocent girls and boys being taken into the sex trade is a major problem. The presentation I heard today made me feel like this should not be left aside. Everyone should help to make human trafficking be put to a stop. I know that if anyone I know, or in my family, got taken away to be human trafficked... It would Prayers kill me! I would be devastated. No family should have to go through this; losing a child and not knowing where they are. I strongly hope that something will be done to stop this!

  • Supreme Court of Canada Prostitution Trial
    Press Release [free-them] Contact: Ivona Radon FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tel: 905-320-7693 E-mail: [email protected] Human rights activists and freedom fighters react to court case challenging prostitution laws at the Supreme Court of Canada Toronto, ON June 13, 2013 – Today, activists and anti-human trafficking organization, [free-them] took their position against proponents challenging Canada’s laws surrounding prostitution. In 2010, the Ontario Court of Appeal's ruling brought down the laws criminalizing the keeping of a bawdy house, communicating for the purposes of purchasing sex, and living off of the avails of prostitution as in contravention of Section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms . Now with these laws being threatened, [free-them] maintains that the loss of the laws will increase human trafficking for purposes of sexual exploitation, and normalize the behavior of degradation and violence against women. Further, legalization will make Canada a ‘safe haven’ for sex tourism and the increase of minors and children to be sexual exploited will occur. In support of this, [free-them] pointed to the failed examples of countries that have legalized prostitution, such as, Germany and the Netherlands. “Over a million men pay for sex each day in Germany, while this is good for business, it leaves the women with little earnings,” writes The Local, the largest English language news network in Europe. According to the Washington Times, one in five victims of sex trafficking were underage. Since legalization in 2002, Germany now has reported over 300,000 people in the sex trade with over two-thirds coming from overseas, making Germany “Europe’s largest brothel.” “When Germany legalized prostitution just over a decade ago, politicians hoped that it would create better conditions and more autonomy for sex workers.
