    Three female politicians making a difference in Ontario

    April 17, 2023 /

    The women pushing significant and positive change for the province and its citizens. It wasn’t until the 1900s that women became involved — marginally — in this realm. In fact, it took until 1921 for the first woman to be elected into the House of Commons in Canada.  As a result, female involvement in politics remained limited and/or discounted for a long time, ensuring that, until very recently, women who wanted to be leaders of change in their communities could not do so.

TV shows and movies teach young people what to wear, how to flirt, how to be funny and how to be in relationships of all kinds.  The influence that TV and movies have on this susceptible demographic is remarkable, but potentially harmful. Consider, for example, the types of platonic female relationships we’ve seen on screen in the recent past and the fact that young girls subconsciously absorb the dynamics that are normalized in the media.  In the media, female friendships have long been depicted as shallow,…
