Supreme Court Justice Russell Brown retires, ending judicial review

Justice Russell Brown has decided to retire from the Supreme Court of Canada, effective immediately. With his decision to leave Canada's top

Facing a probe into alleged misconduct, Justice Russell Brown has decided to retire early from the Supreme Court of Canada, effective immediately. With his decision to leave Canada's top court, a review into a judicial complaint levelled against him has halted, though work is already starting to find his replacement. "Unfortunately, as a result of a complaint made against me in connection with an event in late January in Arizona, I have not participated in the Court’s work for over four months… The process has also imposed a significant strain on my family and me," Brown said in a statement issued Monday. In usurping the Canadian Judicial Council's ability to proceed with its hearings regarding the allegations against him, Brown said that while he was confident that ultimately the matter would have been dismissed, "the continuing delay is in nobody’s interests."

It's My Armchair, and I'll Sit in It if I Want to

It’s My Armchair, and I’ll Sit in It if I Want to

I’m a little bit late to commenting on the recent Rooster Teeth drama. (Blame the fact that I don’t get paid to blog. I have a real life too!) But better late than never, so let’s dive in. (more…)

Before D&D, we eat dinner together. We talk about work, and shows on Netflix, games about to come out or sports that’ve happened.

Ben—like he’d been waiting for a chance to talk it over with an uninvolved audience—told us about something that happened in his section meeting that week. An old guy (just coasting towards retirement) got paired up with a new hire (ink on her engineering degree barely dry) for a site visit.

In talking about how it went, the old guy called her “a good little girl” who ran around and collated the data.

I broke in laughing, saying something like, “Oh, man, I’ve taken stuff like dearie and sweetheart and girlie, but ‘good little girl’? Shit.”

Ben went on to say that somebody protested in the meeting, but not clearly because who’s prepared for a response when a colleague calls a coworker a good little girl in a team meeting? He said that the supervisor had one-on-ones with the rest of them afterwards to finish addressing it.

I broke in laughing again, embarrassed and grimacing. “Shit. I guess he had to, but, oh man, could you imagine it?”

Another guy actually shot me an annoyed look for that one, and the story went on, theorizing what the old guy’s one-on-one was like and shaking our heads over ‘what was he thinking?’ and how Ben reached out to the new hire to, like, commiserate and be like ‘wow, that was crazy.’

I can’t quite leave it alone. The sharp empathy I felt, imagining someone calling me “a good little girl” in front of my boss, my team. My reaction pulling so hard towards laughing it off, not addressing it.

I want to react to humiliation by pretending it’s not humiliating. Like it’s a speed bump best forgotten by tightening your grip on the steering wheel and not looking in your rear view to see if you left your bumper behind.

It makes me think that so much of how we react to a story is about who we empathize with. If Ben told that story to another, uninvolved, supervisor, that “people-leader” would be thinking about all those delicate one-on-ones, and how to explain it to a higher up, or HR.

Ben told it to a bunch of ground-level engineers, and everyone but me put themselves in Ben’s spot—essentially audience members who want to do the right thing, but don’t wanna put themselves on center stage.

And my reaction was…not great. If I was in Ben’s place, in that meeting, I would have reacted in ways that are not great. My way of commiserating would have been worse, full of “yeah I had one guy who called me nothing but dearie and girlie, but he didn’t mean anything by it.”

Hell, at least I’m a little more aware of my impulses now.
