Womens Day

One would think that in the year 2014 that Canada would not have to be reminded about the need for a special day to recognize the accomplishments of women and the recognizing of the problems associated with women's causes.The UN has pointed out the shabby manner in which Canada treats it's aboriginal people and women in particular. Our government had a perfect opportunity to show it's concerns the other day in the House of Commons when they took the opposite role and killed the bill which would have set up a select committee to look into the horrendous situation with 800 aboriginal women killed or missing.

I observed first hand the situation in the north of the manner in which missing and murdered Inuit and first nations women were marginalized. Little do our government leaders understand that any way the role of women can be improved the resulting benefit is huge. This is probably one of the missed opportunities that will result in a rise of civic disobedience by our first nations people. Frustration and mistrust of our system of justice is seen on every face where neglect to address this problem is evident..

Women of the world are growing in influence and offer a level of leadership not found in the male leaders. If governments were set up to elect a man and a women in each riding to government we would have a more civil and objective government.There are so many jurisdictions in the world where women are given little or no consideration that it remains one of the causaulties of modern times.

Education is the answer to many of these terrible situations and it should begin right here in Canada.
