Flora MacDonald

This is “the straw that breaks the camel's back!” One of the finest Canadians of the last century has died and no state funeral and a P.M. that was too shallow to even attend her funeral.

Sure, Flora didn’t support Harper because she was a P.C. back when it was respectable to be a P.C. – like before the U.N. had to come in and tell us that First Nation women were people too.

Remember that when Flora was young, the general attitude was “hand her a doll, tell her to grow up and get married, and she'll live happily ever after!” However, MacDonald had the brains and the guts to do so much more than any woman was expected to do.

Now, about these woman that “lived happily ever after”, or the many that did not: Of course they usually worked harder than men, plus were paid less or nothing, but gave their all believing “God will prevail!” Well, God doesn’t sign old age pension checks and hundreds of thousands live in poverty and now that Ontario Premier Wynne wants to help, it seems that the Harper government won’t.

Young people note. Stop, look and listen before you go and vote and please notice that women are people too.
