I really hate that NAC was part of the strategic voting Think Twice group. The Liberals have done sweet tweet for women in twelve years. They simply followed the neocon agenda and, on top of it all, zapped NAC's funding.

We need a voice for women in this election and we need it fast. We need high profile women from every province and territory to speak as one against the Conservatives and we need it to happen on Friday.

Judy Rebick! Sunera Thobani! Michelle Landsberg! Penny Kome! We need to hear you!!!

Hmmm... I don't know why, but on the TAT page, those two URLs and the "and" are all run together on one line, and causing mini-sidescroll... it's odd, 'coz normally if you put a bridging word like "and" in, that doesn't happen.

Thanks for the links. I hadn't heard a thing here in SK! Our women's movement has been slowly killed by the powers that be. Time for a revival, I suppose.

And I wish the women's coalition would do some email campaigning.
