A new political party has formed on BC's Vancouver Island, The FemINist INitiative (FemINit). They strive to reflect a balance of feminine and masculine in the electorate by respecting the wisdom of people and communities and focussing on solutions, not problems. They are hoping to build a party were members are inspired by "inclusiveness, integrity, involvment, and innovation". They are the first political party in Canada to be registered as 'feminist'.
This is truly inspirational and revolutionary. Never has Canada, particularly BC needed a Feminist elctoral party more. The BC Liberals and their crooney Gordo have destoyed the province. Health Care and Education are destroyed and the womens centres in BC had all of their funding pulled from under their feet becuase they 'are not a necessity'. REALLY? Tell that to the women fleeing an abusive home with no were to turn, or to the pregnant teen who needs information on her choices, or to the single parent mom who needs help finding a job, or to the anorexic woman who has finally gathered the courgae to ask for help, but has found a closed door.
We all have been touched by violence against women either personally or through those we love. Womens Centres are a necessary part of a society. Keep this in mind when considering who you will vote for in this upcoming election.
