Don't Make Us Work for Free! On September 17th, Ontario women started working for free because of the 29% wage gap between women and men. See the Ontario Equal Pay Coalition's Toronto Star Op Ed, "Ontario's gender pay gap cheats women workers ," and new "Don't Make Me Work for Free " sticker. Check out the website of the Equal Pay Coalition HERE for more information.

Mother’s Day ‘07 or, Be a Mothers’ ‘Party’  

             

On Mother’s Day, ‘07

What will you give to show

Your mother that you love her

And want the world to know?

 

What will you give your daughters

To let them know you care

About the world in which they live

And grandchildren they’ll bear?

 

All NDPers and all Greens

All Grits and PC reps

What platform will you offer

That will welcome our “10 Steps

 

Dalton, Howard, John and Frank

Will you please stop and think

About the families who each day

Have little food or drink?

 

When you stand before the cameras

And hold your children’s hands

Will you reflect upon the children

Who arrive from other lands?

 

Will you help their mothers to believe

They’ve found a better place

Which appreciates the differences

Of gender and of race?

 

Will you protect the vulnerable

And make your mother proud?

Will you chose the path that leads you

Beyond the maddening crowd?

 

Will you acknowledge that a woman

Has the right to seek redress

And give her back the voice

Which violence suppressed?

 

Dalton, Howard, John and Frank

On this your Mother’s Day

We challenge you, be honourable,

Let women have their say!
