Also? Kate was my boss at FAFIA when Harper came into power, slashed Status of Women's budget by 60% and defunded any work related to advocacy. So, we were forced to close. It was the first of two times in my career this would happen. Please trust those us reading the writing on the wall.

If you don't know Kate, let me introduce you to my dear friend. While she was actively dying of cancer, she testified to Parliament and said her dying wish was for women to matter in our budgets and policy decisions. She was the best of us and I miss her a lot.

I get that they want to appeal to a certain base in order to secure gov't power in the next election, but this is a shitty priorities message. Equality isn't "a nice idea, maybe later" option, and throwing it out the window isn't a winning strategy, ffs.

So Canadian feminists are pretty upset about the elimination of the Minister of Women and Gender Equality. Actually upset is way too diplomatic a word. The reality is that bro culture has taken over our politics, left and right. And we are about done with it

Canada’s housing crisis leads to more unsafe housing for victims of domestic violence
