    Gloria Steinem was unarguably a feminist, but her vision was a gift to each and every one of us - in my opinion, literally no less to men than to women. That vision freed men to - for example - participate in family life more completely than was considered normal before her leadership showed us the way.

    @campuscodi I&amp;#39;m old enough to remember when a post introduced with &amp;quot;This is totally unhinged&amp;quot; had to be read before you knew who the perp was going to be.

    CBC&amp;#39;s Stephen Quinn talks with former mayor Larry Campbell - currently Downtown Eastside advisor - for about 8min.
