From the CBC: The Conservative government is closing down most of its Status of Women Canada offices, saying they are not doing enough to serve women directly.

Let me ponder this. The government thinks they aren't doing enough so they're largely closing them down so they can do that much less? How does that make sense? And then, Heritage Minister Bev Oda said Wednesday said: We don't need to separate the men from the women in this country …

It isn't about separating women, it's about helping them. Gender disparity? Sexism? Violence and poverty? Does our government really think that women don't need advocacy any more?

Depressing.
