RE: Unveiling new Canadian $10 bill today...tribute International Women's Day

in #life7 years ago

Apart from the Queen of England that is.

I'm sure she was a fine woman, although I've never heard of her before. However when it comes to money, I'm more traditional in the sense the bank notes used to be reserved for images of the Queen and past Prime Ministers. They could have gone with Canada's first ever female Prime Minister, Kim Campbell. We talk alot about getting a woman in the White House. What better way to promote women in politics than putting Kim Campbell on the $10 bill. Oh wait, she was a Conservative Party Prime Minister. That will never happen under the current government. As nice as it is to see this woman recognized, when it comes down to it, it's all politics as they say. Well I suppose I can still be happy for Viola Desmond. Congrats to her.
