Why Leslie Miller's words hurt so much

When Leslie Miller talked about beating up his girlfriend it sent chills down the spines of many women who are victims of abuse. His word...

The offensive remarks of Leslie Miller
Dear Editor,
I would appreciate some space in your paper to share my views on the recent issue about abuse of women and an MP's unfortunate remarks.
After the offensive and ill-conceived remarks regarding violence against women that Leslie Miller recently said in the House of Assembly (how he supposedly abused his ex-girlfriend), he made an apology. In his words, "I want to apologize to all of m...

We find it absolutely unacceptable and inexcusable that an MP would boldly make statements about abuse enacted against a former partner. It is further injurious to laugh about such a thing and encourage others to...

Miller came under fire after he suggested in the House of Assembly last month that he physically abused an ex-girlfriend.
