I think there needs to be an English language, Canadian version of Feministing. There is Canadian content on Feministing, but any postings in the "community section" don't stay there long and don't really get discussed. There this new french language site for young feminists http://www.jesuisfeministe.com/ ( I hope it succeeds ! Looks to be awesome !) but most Canadians do not speak French, so it's not really unifying. I am aware of bread and roses and a member, but it's not the same.

It's not specifically for young women, but section15.ca is pretty cool.

Agreed,it is totally cool but it's not really the same format- there isn't much discussion by the readers. I visit already.

What about Shameless? It's also a magazine, of course, but their blog is pretty great, with good discussion as well...

I have the current issue of Shameless on my table. D'oh! Thanks for the reminder of their online version, Catchfire.

I agree. Shameless is my go-to for news for young feminists. I believe they're expanding as well. They just announced a whole bunch of new bloggers. Check out the new names here.
