Happy Persons Day! Here’s my annual reminder of the complicated legal and moral legacy of the Famous 5 - a video I shot during the “high COVID” times of 2020. (Hence the outdoor mask and the very uncut hair.) But I don’t think the message is at all out of date. https://youtu.be/a_HhQP3HoxU?si=3SxCTSwsCH6_O9ly #SenateofCanada #PersonsDay #Famous5 #Alberta #FamousFive #Vriend #LGBQT

Today is the 94th anniversary of Persons Day - when the Privy Council in London ruled Canadian women were person - in rights and privileges as well as pains and penalties. In 2020, I made this video essay about the complicated, painful, powerful legacy of the Famous 5, the magnificent, deeply flawed women who made equal rights in Canada reality. https://youtu.be/a_HhQP3HoxU?si=cuwZy_u5jA6243os #PersonsCase #PersonsDay #FamousFive #SenateofCanada #Vriend #abpoli #Edmonton #yeg #Alberta #Canada #eugenics #lgbtq

94 years ago, on October 18, 1929, Lord Sankey stated:
"The exclusion of women from all public offices is a relic of days more barbarous than ours. And to those who would ask why the word 'person' should include females, the obvious answer is, why should it not?
It is mindboggling that there are women alive today that were not considered persons under the law.
Hats off to the Famous Five for their courage and tenacity!
