CBC reporter assaulted during live stand-up

CBC reporter assaulted during live stand-up

‘Boys Don’t Cry’ PSA shows the roots of toxic masculinity

Bullies are made, not born. That's a fact that Gillette tried to point out last month with its infamous ad about toxic masculinity. If that offended your sensibilities, you're not going to like a PSA that was released today on the occasion of Canada's Anti-Bullying Day. It hits like a sledgehammer.
