Liberal Women’s Caucus in Canada tells it like it is.

The Liberal Women’s Caucus in Canada has put out a set of party policies that they feel are the most pressing issues women face in Canada. In doing so they called out what they called the conservative government’s war on women.
<blockquote>The federal Liberal women’s caucus is accusing the Conservative government of trying to keep females “barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen,” saying the government is pursuing an ideological agenda that ignores women’s needs and cuts funding to those who need help the most.

They have put together what they call the “Pink Book” which details their demands for women’s equity.

The document is the product of cross-country working sessions with women and women’s groups held last July, and is slated to be part of the party’s election platform.
The recommendations are also aimed at countering what Belinda Stronach, chair of the Liberal women’s caucus, described as the Conservative government’s “attack” on women’s progress.
The recommendations include commitments to reinstate the Liberal child-care and early-learning plan the Tories scrapped after the last election; to reverse budget cuts to social programs and Status of Women; to develop a national caregiver agenda; to provide more benefits to the self-employed, and to secure equal pay for work of equal value.

But it is Canada! What has gotten into them?
