Eliminate Funding for Status of Women

WHEREAS the Status of Women Agency only funds womens groups that adopt a radical feminist stance;

WHEREAS most Canadian women do not identify as feminists;

WHEREAS Status of Women has failed to consult the very people whose welfare they claim to represent, that is, those women who do not identify as feminists;

WHEREAS in this day and age, Canadian women are as free and as capable as men of making every kind of choice and therefore do not need radical feminism;

WHEREAS an agency established on the weakness and powerlessness of women is outdated;

WHEREAS outstanding issues affecting certain groups of women can be addressed through already existing government bodies that do not promote radical feminism;

We the undersigned call on the Canadian Minister of Finance, Jim Flaherty, to eliminate funding to Status of Women Canada.



ATTENDU QUE Condition Fйminine Canada alloue des fonds uniquement а des groupes de femmes qui adoptent le fйminisme radical;

ATTENDU QUE la plupart des Canadiennes ne sidentifient pas comme des fйministes;

ATTENDU QUE Condition Fйminine Canada ne consulte pas les gens quelle essaie de reprйsenter, cest-а-dire les femmes qui ne sidentifient pas comme fйministes;

ATTENDU QUE а notre йpoque, les Canadiennes sont aussi libres et capables que les hommes de prendre nimporte quelle dйcision et donc nont pas besoin du fйminisme radical;

ATTENDU QUE une agence йtablie par cause de la faiblesse et le manque de pouvoir des femmes est rйvolue;

ATTENDU QUE les dossiers affectant certains groupes de femmes peuvent кtre traitйs par des agences gouvernementales dйjа existantes qui ne font pas la promotion du fйminisme radical;

Nous, les soussignйs, demandons au Ministre des Finances Jim Flaherty, dйliminer le financement de lagence Condition Fйminine Canada.
