Hey there, time traveller!

Finance Minister Jim Flaherty has clearly ignored the history lessons from the 1990 recession in which we saw the deficit tamed on the backs of women. Once again, it is women who will bear the brunt of economic recovery because it is women who dominate the field of government work. Freezing government department spending translates into what is effectively a hiring freeze and this leaves women out of any economic recovery plans. And still, we see the government ignoring the one issue that can help working women — the implementation of an affordable, accessible and effective national daycare program. Hardly a recalibration, this is clearly a regurgitation of bad ideas designed to keep the government in power.
