Think again.
Use this checklist to ensure nothing less than a Canada with Human Rights for ALL its citizens!
Does your candidate support:
* policies and programs that are transparent and accountable?
* a national child care program that is universal, accessible, affordable, good quality, secure, public and non-profit?
* a federal housing strategy that will create affordable, stable, accessible and safe housing for women and children?
* a federal poverty reduction strategy that invests in Canada's social infrastructure to reduce the impact of poverty on ALL women and children?
* economic security for women that includes good jobs, equal wages, and decent EI and social assistance entitlements?
* a federal strategy to end violence against women and girls, based on human rights principles, to ensure that they are no longer 'over-policed and under-protected'?
* repeal of the unnecessary and expensive criminal justice reforms, and spend those billions of tax dollars on social, economic, health and educational services instead of prisons?
