Over the five years Stephen Harper has been prime minister, he has:
-
closed 12 out of 16 status of women offices across Canada
-
eliminated funding of legal voices for women, including the National Association of Women in Law
-
eliminated funding for Sisters in Spirit, an internationally praised organization leading investigations into 600 cases of missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls.
Since 2006, Harper has cut funding for women’s advocacy by 43%.

So Mr. Nice Guy must be feeling the pinch as these facts start to come to light.
It hasn’t been a very well kept secret of what his opinion of women has been for several years, but to have all this thrown out in one go must be making him squirm…or at least, I hope so. Can you just hear the spin his speechwriters will put on this one?
“Well, we are very proud of the fact that we have been able to cut back on government spending by reducing our overhead.” I bet that’s going to go down well with the slightly MORE than 50% of the voters who are WOMEN.
Ladies, show Mr. Nice Guy the door…please! His time has come…and gone!
Meanwhile, have you heard the numbers about the expenses of Harper’s own office? The highest spending PM in history. And the Liberals and NDP can’t crush this guy? What’s the matter with them?
