  • I’m sure this is the first of a long list of necessary public sector cuts that we’re going to see. Not necessary because the program or the cause aren’t justifiable. Necessary because a) we have a budget problem that existed well before the current tariff and soveriegnty crisis, and b) this government is about to commit to a whole bunch of new spending on infrastructure and national defence. We can’t have it all and still reasonably pay for it. Hell, we may still not be able to pay for it.

    But that said, consider priorities: Is women and gender equality better served by this program, or by having a safe, secure, and prosperous nation? Look south to consider the alternative.

    I’d love to see WAGE stick around. Hell, I’d like to see it expanded. In the meantime, Canadians, especially the menfolk, can commit to equality each and every day to rightfully improve the conditions of women.
