Joint statement by Todd Holt and his cousin Theo Fleury on the sentencing of Graham James, the disgraced former junior hockey coach who sexually assaulted them as teenagers: I stand here today, on behalf of not only myself and my cousin Theoren Fleury, but as a voice for Everyman; for all the young boys, the old men and the ones that got stuck somewhere in between because of the most devastating type of abuse -- sexual abuse inflicted on us by someone in a position of trust and authority. Theo and I were two of those who got stuck in that middle place between boy and man. We made some terrible choices and watched the life we were meant to lead spiral down the drain. No longer. Theo and I speak to men all over and we tell them: YOU, like us, are not alone. The effects are far-reaching and sometimes feel never ending, but there IS a place and time for healing. It is NOW. I stand here today, a Victor over sexual abuse; and I, along with Theo, offer you our voice. This sentence today is nothing short of a national travesty because we know that childhood sexual abuse has reached epidemic proportions in our country. Graham James once again perpetrated his crime and spread his sickness right through the courts of Canada. He conned the judge with his "poor me" and "I regret" statements. His lawyer defended the indefensible, and hes been rewarded for doing so, and Graham James is laughing all the way back to the life hes always led, knowing that justice for him is but a blip on the radar. Today, as we speak, there is a boy out there going about his life, dreaming his dreams and hoping his hopes ... until ... Graham James crosses his path. And cross his path, he will; because thats what he does -- he preys upon the unsuspecting all the while knowing not much will happen to stop him. The courts of Canada have guaranteed that. The saddest part is that there are MANY Graham Jamess -- different names, in different towns and cities; in your own communities and, yes, possibly even in your own families. Yes, I said it. They are everywhere. It is time that the predators know that they need to take notice and be scared. There is no place for you to hide. We are shedding light in those dark corners where you cower. Theo and I call upon all Canadians, those who have suffered, and those who stand with the suffering, to demand that our government change the laws and empower justice to be all that it could be, and to do all that it should. We are calling out to our politicians to stand up for the one-in-three girls and one-in-five boys who will be sexually abused before the age of 18 in our country. We are standing up against a weak justice system and demanding change now. Theoren and I are calling out to YOU -- the people of Canada and the World -- to take this issue NOW to our politicians and DEMAND change; ask for and receive answers -- for CHANGE and REAL JUSTICE; or simply refuse to cast your vote for that constituent. My name is Todd Holt and I stand today, with Theoren Fleury, and with ALL those who have suffered or are suffering, as a Victor over sexual abuse and an Advocate for change.

Canadians mourned the passing of a man who was once this countrys biggest baseball star with tributes in the House of Commons, a flag lowered to half-mast, and talk of renaming a public space in Montreal after the late Gary Carter. While politicians delivered their praise in Ottawas federal Parliament, people in Montreal were suddenly reminiscing about baseball once again, sharing fond memories of a professional game that left the city eight years ago. A flag was lowered at Montreals Olympic Park outside the cavernous, now-mostly-vacant stadium where the Hall of Fame catcher spent years thrilling crowds. Park management announced plans to consult with Carters family and undertake steps to name a space in the area after him. One federal politician, Liberal Denis Coderre, raised the possibility of renaming the metro stop at Olympic Stadium, replacing the current name of Pope Pius IX. If there had been any doubt that Canadians remembered Carter, a son of California who spent nearly half his career playing in New York City, it was wiped away on the green parquet floor of the nations Parliament on Friday. Members from different political parties read tributes Friday to the big-hitting catcher who died the previous day, of cancer, at age 57. They recalled an era when Canada had only one baseball team, the now-defunct Montreal Expos, and the Californian dubbed "Kid" was its most popular player. The politicians described Carters generosity with fans and his perpetual enthusiasm. Coderre called him one of his idols as a child -- a winner on and off the field. He said in winter, he would pretend to be Habs hero Guy Lafleur; in summer, it was Carter. Coderre tipped an old Expos cap, as a tribute to Carter in the House of Commons. "Gary was a complete man, with uncanny charisma, of great generosity who gave his heart and soul to his sport, hiis family and his community," said Coderre, who finished his speech by quoting Carter and tipping the cap.dddddddddddd "He was a winner. He always made you feel important. He left no one indifferent, and was a source of inspiration to us all." The NDPs Jamie Nicholls said Carter was one of the greatest players ever to play in Canada. He said Carter personified the franchise he played for. Nicholls concluded a poetic speech with a mock home-run call, celebrating a Carter round-tripper. "His passion for the game was contagious," Nicholls said. "Gary Carter was the Expos. He was baseball. He was Montreal." Carters passing was front-page news on all three of Montreals daily newspapers Friday, as the city that lost its Expos in 2004 shared memories about the franchises heyday, long before the team was killed by fire sales, strikes, on-field heartache, and an unpopular east-end stadium. The front-page headline in the Montreal Gazette said: The Kid Was Light Of Expos. La Presse also referred to the former Expos and Mets catcher by his nickname, saying: The Kid Is No More. In Le Journal de Montreal, there were front-page headlines like: A Brother; The Real Thing; and Thanks For Everything. The Montreal Canadiens also planned to honour Carter before their hockey game Sunday. There was a movement on Twitter suggesting that the Expos former mascot, Youppi!, who now entertains Habs fans, should also bring out his old tricolour jersey for Sundays game. Carter played in Montreal for 12 of his 19 big-league seasons, from 1974 to 1984 and again in 1992. In his final game, he drew a long, emotional standing ovation from a crowd that began clapping even before he delivered a double, a game-winning hit that drew deafening cheers in one of the most memorable moments in the history of that star-crossed franchise. cheap nfl jerseys cheap soccer jerseys ' ' '
