More stories that could only come out from Canada:
Keep kids out of the boxing ring, doctors urge CTV News.ca Staff Date: Monday Aug. 29, 2011 9:05 AM ET With increased focus on the dangers of brain injuries in kids, Canadian and American pediatricians are banding together to warn of yet another sport that endangers kids and teens: boxing. Amateur boxing has long been a popular sport in both countries and many boxing-title holders say they began training when they were still in elementary school. But the Canadian Paediatric Society and the American Academy of Pediatrics say children and teen athletes should not be allowed into the ring at all until after age 18, to protect their brains from injury. "Because of the risk of head and facial injuries, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Canadian Paediatric Society oppose boxing as a sport for children and adolescents," the groups write in a joint position paper issued Monday. "These organizations recommend that physicians vigorously oppose boxing in youth and encourage patients to participate in alternative sports in which intentional head blows are not central to the sport." Dr. Claire LeBlanc, co-author of the new position statement and chair of the CPS Healthy Active Living and Sports Medicine Committee, notes in a press release that while most sports have some risk of injury, boxing is especially dangerous. She says that's because athletes are rewarded for deliberate hits to their opponent's head. The groups note that children's brains are more vulnerable to concussion, and recovery takes longer than it does for adults. "Though amateur boxers wear safety gear, there is no evidence to show that head guards actually reduce the incidence of concussions," the groups say. The CPS and AAP are urging pediatricians and other health professionals to strongly discourage their patients from participating in boxing. The warning comes as evidence mounts that repeated head injuries and concussions can lead to a degenerative brain condition called chronic traumatic encephalopathy. The condition causes permanent changes to the brain and leads to personality changes and symptoms similar to dementia. The condition has been noted among boxers for decades and was once called "dementia pugilistica" because of its prevalence among professional boxers. According to Boxing Canada, the organization representing amateur boxers, the minimum age to fight in a boxing competition is 11. About 2,000 kids between the ages of 11 and 16 are registered to compete, its records show. About a quarter are girls. Boxing enthusiasts insist the sport is no more dangerous than other sports that can lead to head injuries, such as hockey, football, skiing or other martial arts. Dr. David Venturi, the medical advisor to Boxing Ontario, says amateur boxing is "an extremely regulated combative sport." "Injuries do occur in boxing as in any other sport, but significant head injuries are a rare event in amateur boxing," he said in an email to CTV News. "Boxing Ontario executives, coaches, chief officials, referees and ringside physicians work diligently together to protect their athletes from significant injury by watching every punch thrown during every fight. These experienced eyes at any time will stop a fight," he said. In comments made to The Canadian Press, Robert Crete, the executive director of Boxing Canada, notes that amateur boxers spend the bulk of their time punching bags, not each other. "It's not like playing hockey, where every weekend, the kid is competing," he told CP. "If they compete twice a year, it's considered very often." The CPS and AAP acknowledge that the overall risk of injury in amateur boxing seems to be lower than in some other collision sports such as football, hockey, wrestling, and soccer. "However, unlike these other collision sports, boxing encourages and rewards direct blows to the head and face," they note in their paper. The pediatricians' paper says it's unclear how many children and teens get injured while boxing, since few studies separate data by age group. But they note that data has been collected by the Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program, which collects data from 15 hospitals across the country, including 10 children's hospitals. That database found some 273 boxers reported injuries between 1990 and 2007 and among them, nearly 70 per cent were 18 and under. The Canadian Medical Association has pushed to make boxing off-limits to youth and even advocates that the sport be banned entirely. The American Medical Association recommends that until all boxing is banned, head blows should be prohibited.

And another one:
Topless protestors march in Toronto Topless protestors marched on the edge of a Toronto park Sunday afternoon after the city denied them permission last month to bare their message of equality. The noon demonstration, which took place at the edge of Ashbridges Bay Park on Woodbine Avenue, was originally axed by the Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation Department on July 21. A spokesperson for GoTopless, the American non-profit organization organizing the event, said in a press release published on Thursday that the city's decision denies women the same rights as men to go topless in public. "This permit refusal represents gender discrimination, in which men are treated differently than women," Diane Brisebois said. Brisebois said city officials would have preferred if the Canadian chapter of the organization had proposed to hold their event on Hanlan's Point Beach, a nudist beach on Toronto Island, however, she said that would have defeated the group's purpose. "The authorities maintain that top free women are nude, but that's exactly what we want to change. There is not more nudity in revealing one's breast than in revealing one's arm and this is what Gotopless Canada is trying to address." Brisebois added that the city probably does not understand the current law surrounding going topless. "They are probably unaware that the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled in 1996, that the act of going topless is not in itself a sexual or indecent act for either gender," she said, referring to the exoneration of Guelph resident Gwen Jacobs who was arrested in 1991 for taking off her shirt in public. An online petition was started after the group was denied permission to hold their demonstration. As of Sunday, 174 people have signed the petition.
