An 80’s Buick crossed with a doorstop
A doorstop wedge can stop a door
from moving with ease, hence the name.
An Aston Martin can usually stop me
dead in my tracks, as most of the time,
they’re gorgeous. A Buick? I saw a 1960
model on the highway the other day that
looked pretty sweet. It was a four door
sedan, but it still looked great. Past that,
my love for the Buick brand dips back
into the fifties a little bit, and forward
with only a couple of different cars. The
Riviera and Skylark are pretty timeless.
The Grand National, although a
renowned performer, is a pick on paper
only. What can I say? The Monte Carlo
was more stylish than the Buick in those
years. The car in the picture perfectly
represents what Buick became in the
eighties, a square-cornered brick with
more upscale corners on it than a Chevy.
Sadly, it’s not a Buick at all. It’s an Aston
Martin Lagonda, and yes, it stops me
dead in my tracks. No, not in a good way.
The Aston Martin Lagonda, although
not a household name, is actually a
pretty famous car. First of all, it does
car things. It starts, it stops, it drives
forward and back, and all while seating
four people quite comfortably. It’s
not famous for performance, however,
as being ugly is what it truly excels at.
Much like the bearded lady and the dogfaced
boy, the Lagonda gained it’s fame
in the most unfortunate of ways. I didn’t
believe it at first, but the more I looked,
the more it popped up on lists of ugly
cars. Not only that, but many reviewers
even dared touch on the electronic and
mechanical downfalls of the Lagonda.
Ruthless! I’m sure people let the dogfaced
boy slide if he missed his bath a
time or two.
Starting in 1976, the Lagonda was

imposed for domestic violence.
Further, given the prevalence of systemic discrimination, there’s a serious risk
that this provision will be applied disproportionately to Indigenous and other marginalized
persons.
In all, the bill takes some positive steps but continues the piecemeal approach
to domestic violence by government. Criminal law alone can’t prevent domestic
violence: it’s an after-the-fact response to violence that has already damaged, and
sometimes ended, the lives of women and their children. And some aspects of the
bill may be punitive to women who resist domestic violence with violence.
So what else should be done? What women urgently need are resources, such as
safe housing, social welfare and legal advice to escape violence and navigate the
criminal justice system. They need the family court and child protection systems to
‘see’ the violence and coercive control that places them at risk. And they need the
police to respond effectively to keep violent men away from them.
New Zealand’s Family Violence Death Review Committee has undertaken a major
study of its “family violence systems,” of which criminal law is only one. The social
welfare, health, child welfare, housing, education and family law systems all intersect.
The committee has worked with representatives of these systems to develop an
integrated family violence safety system.
Canada could learn from New Zealand. We should consider a permanent, national,
governmental body dedicated to reviewing each case of domestic homicide,
capable of securing the confidential records of all agencies, negotiating with them
on how to prevent such killings and securing an integrated domestic violence safety
system. And it must be staffed by experts - especially front-line feminists, whose expertise
and commitment uniquely qualifies them for leadership on violence against
women.
Bill C-75 is a small step forward, but stops short of tackling the crisis of intimate
femicide and domestic violence. We can and must do better.
