Well, I am glad that someone said it. It's 2015 and we need to see more women in leadership roles. Simply put, Prime Minister Trudeau defended his decision to name a record number of women to cabinet because they are capable, and because it is about time. We may be the most multicultural country in the world, but when it comes to gender equity, we need to shake things up.
As a recent Globe & Mail editorial stated, not all women want to 'lean in'. Some are delighted doing their own thing, raising the kids, running the house. Some are delighted doing their own thing, running a company, pursuing a career. As progressive as we are in Canada, why is it that fewer women are in leadership roles than men? What's your guess?
This month Canada will be welcoming refugees to our country, with the hopes that one day they will be citizens who will participate in the active development of our country. Wouldn't it be nice if each refugee who arrives knows that they can participate and grow to their potential, no matter their gender.
Ethnocultural communities across this country have a poor record of encouraging women in their communities to be leaders. It's 2015. Let's shake things up.
