The annual Women's Memorial March will thankfully not be displaced or postponed by the Olympics.

The protesters that show up from across the globe during the Games with their intent of disruption for the sake of anarchy could learn a thing or two from these women, whose display will have nothing to do with chaos for the cameras and everything to do with honouring the memory of the fallen with dignity and solidarity.

FACT OF THE DAY

In 2010, Vancouver had fewer than half the number of murders than it had in 2009.  There were nine homicides within Vancouver’s city limits, down from 19 killings the previous year.

Quote OF THE DAY

“Perhaps it was my silk dress or the new perfume I’ve been wearing lately. When I asked Suzanne Anton what her New Year’s resolution was, she replied, “To kiss a pretty girl!” and pecked me on the cheek.”  – Writer Emily Barca describing her encounter with the lone NPA City Councillor on New Year’s Eve.
