Even Kim Campbell Sees Just How Anti-Women the Conservative Government Is

I just found an excellent new story on the Toronto Star website and I encourage every Canadian to read it! It can be found at http://www.thestar.com/News/article/292944

Former Prime Minister Kim Campbell, herself a Progressive-Conservative Premier, has called Stephen Harper on his exclusion of women from his cabinet, especially from high profile ministries. She said that the government was treating women as an unimportant afterthought by not giving any woman a prominent portfolio.

I have long complained to my friends and family about Stephen Harper's hostility towards women and it's very nice to see that important conservative women agree with me. This government has continually acted to impede women in life; for instance, they killed the child care agreement the previous Liberal government had created. Although the Conservative Party may not like it, women have the right to work and have jobs other than raising children and we need to have affordable and accessible child care options. Women are equal and we cannot allow our rights to be trampled upon so easily by our government.

Stephen Harper needs to go. No Canadian Prime Minister should be allowed to discriminate against women the way he does!
