Fill in the blank: I didn't vote Conservative because ___________

Pop quiz, kids!

Which Canadian political party has the least web space dedicated to women's rights?

Liberal

NDP

Green

Conservative
(not to give anything away but you're going to have to scroll)


Fun, huh? The Conservative Party of Canada had the least amount of information. For the Liberal and NDP, links to their women's sections were easily accessible from drop down menus at the top. The Green party's section was tougher to track down, but with decent pay off, plus the party is currently headed by a woman.

The Conservative section was buried in their 2005(!) policy declaration. And their current "Stand Up For Canada" platform had zip.

And let's not forget how the Tories slashed funding for women's groups that dared to perform any lobbying activities, among other things. Linkage with more info.

You elected a real class act, Canada.

On a side note, all you Torontonians should give Minister of Education Kathleen Wynne a ring on February 14th and remind her that we need women's and gender studies in high school. See the Facebook event page for more info.
