Catherine O’Hara speaking at John Candy’s funeral.
Catherine O’Hara always radiates such warmth. I’m sure her soul is now right there beside John Candy and God and she hoped. Smushed into the back of a minivan on her way home.

Yes.
It's also important to remember that the *other side*, despite having had significant success in infiltrating media and political circles, has also taken a multi-pronged approach *and they've had plenty of failures, too*.
It's that last point that's important.
Keep. Moving. Forward.

I've been working on this horrific story, about Matthew Pringle, the vastly wealthy businessman who tricked DJ Liv Nervo into carrying his child, and then sued her into the bargain, for several years. Very pleased finally to be able to share it with you.
Liv Nervo speaks out against the man who tricked her into pregnancy
Liv Nervo was six months pregnant when she discovered her partner had another family. When she tried to speak up, he spent years dragging her through the courts. We're helping her tell her story.
