Therese Casgrain, a feminist icon and Quebec heroine who died in 1981, has been quietly removed from a national honour, to be replaced by a volunteer award bearing the prime minister’s banner.
True, but I mentioned that [url=http://rabble.ca/babble/feminism/harper-government-quietly-eliminated-th... year[/url], and it actually happened quietly in 2010.
Yes. The latter part more recently, in 2012. Nice of them to bring it up pre-election though. It is somehow appropriate, given Harper's committment to vote suppression for the rest of us.
I don't understand. The story you linked is from July 2014. Is someone reviving this story?
ETA: To be very clear, I have no problem at all with this sinister move by Harper being brought back to people's attention. Just curious as to why you posted it now. And as a duplicate thread.
It has kind of been making the rounds on facebook - the Star piece and a CBC one.
