What now for the environmental movement in Canada?

So now what? What will those opposed choose to do? Relaunch sit-ins and blockades? How will they do this in a time where any gathering of more than five people (in some jurisdictions more than two) is at a minimum frowned upon or could be actually illegal? A demonstration of four activists holding placards and shouting slogans is not that impressive, is it?

Women entrepreneurs are a vital resource for growing Canada’s economy – it is time to break down the barriers standing in their way

OpinionBY ROSALIND LOCKYER
  • Eliminating barriers begins with recognizing the vital role that women—whether entrepreneurs, self-employed, employees or unpaid caregivers—play in Canada’s economic health. Without adequate supports for women and children, Canada’s economy will not thrive.
