In 2024, more than 342,000 lost-time claims were made in Canada while roughly 1,046 workers died from workplace accidents or occupational diseases. Provincial workers’ compensation insurance systems are supposed to be there when injured workers or the survivors of deceased workers need them. Yet these bodies are often plagued with issues, from employer claim suppression and inadequate benefits, to the stigmatization of injured workers and policies geared more toward returning workers to the job than protecting their long-term health. This week I sat down with Marion Endicott and Steve Mantis, the authors of Who Killed Sir William?, published by FriesenPress, to talk about the plight of injured workers and their efforts to build community-based research and change. Endicott worked for 40 years as an advocate for injured workers. In addition to being a leader in the community-based research project detailed in Who Killed Sir William?, Marion’s principle work was at the Injured Workers Community Legal Clinic. Mantis was the community lead in the Research Action Alliance on the Consequences of Work Injury (RAACWI).

A moment during Jay-Z’s recent concert in Paris summed up where soccer sits in culture today

There was a moment during Jay-Z’s recent concert in Paris that, for me, pretty much summed up where football sits in culture today. There wasn’t a ball being kicked. There wasn’t a match being played. Jay-Z walked onto the stage at the Stade de France wearing a one-of-a-kind, black-and-white, football-inspired shirt — by Louis Vuitton, designed by Pharrell — with the number 30 on the back marking 30 years since Reasonable Doubt.
