Lindsay Shepherd was accused of being transphobic after playing a clip of University of Toronto professor Stephen Peterson debating his stance on refusing to use any personal pronouns other than “he” or “she” for students in a communications class. She recorded a meeting, which took place on Nov. 8, with the professor and other officials, where Professor Nathan Rambukkana said her approach of showing the controversial video without context was tantamount to showing a video of Hitler without context.

Starting off with some news you do need to know - David Cassidy, ‘70s teen heartthrob has died as the age of 67.

Well this feud is 100% something you DO NOT need to know about. Remember those three UCLA basketball players who were “saved” by Donald Trump after shoplifting in China? One of the three was LiAngelo Ball, son of Big Baller Brand owner and outspoken and self proclaimed king of the court (even though he’s never played in the NBA) LaVar Ball.

So that’s the whole feud explained...which leads to our Third Thing You Don’t Need To Know. Yesterday’s CNN interview with LaVar Ball. Which was...interesting to say the least.

It’s a glimmer of hope for a Vancouver family we’ve been talking a lot about in the past week. BC’s health minister says the province will cover the costs of an expensive drug needed by 23-year old Shantee Anaquod who is suffering from atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). The drug became a hot-button issue after the UBC student went public with her battle to seek coverage. She hoped to receive the drug but was told B.C. doesn’t cover it because it’s not recommended by the Common Drug Review and the B.C. Drug Benefit Council.
