Market Research Survey for Ottawa Residents

Hi! We are two aspiring writers who have recently graduated from Algonquin College’s Professional Writing program.

Not long ago, we noticed the lack of Ottawa youth- and young-adult-oriented publications that not only deal with culture, but also cover more serious issues like politics, the environment, social commentary, and human rights. We decided to start our own magazine addressing all of these issues with an entertaining, no-frills attitude.

In order to get financial backing for such a publication, we need to find out how many people in Ottawa would actually be interested. This is where you come in. We have created a short market research survey that you can fill out online in under 10 minutes. Please follow the link below to get started.

We realize that not everyone here is an Ottawa resident. Unfortunately, if you don’t live in Ottawa or in the greater Ottawa Valley region, we will be unable to count your completed survey when we compile our data (even if you’re just trying to help us out). However, we do appreciate encouragement and support.

Please note also that the website where we created this survey doesn’t allow more than one survey to be filled out per computer, so keep this in mind if you use a shared or public computer. If you have any issues with the survey, you can e-mail us at jamtingrenade@inbox.com .

Many thanks to everyone who takes the few minutes to do the survey!

Niki & Liz

Quick Hit: What Can you do with $443,360 and 12 years?

That’s how much money some working women are missing out on as a result of wage disparities among genders. According to the Huffington Post:

“The typical full-time working woman stands to miss out on $443,360 over 40 years because of the gender wage gap, according to an April report from the National Women’s Law Center (NWLC). That means a woman would have to work 12 years longer then her male counterpart just to break even.”

With that much time and money I could pay off my $90,000 student loan bill and get 2 doctorates. I could travel the world and start a family. I could buy a home, a fairly nice one depending on where I live. I could start a ...

Yes, we still have to call out sexism against Marissa Mayer

The news that former Google executive Marissa Mayer had been appointed President and CEO of Yahoo – just a few days before announcing her pregnancy – was met with feminist glee back in July. But the honeymoon between Mayer and feminists is long over, following revelations that Mayer doesn’t particularly care for feminism, nor does she fully understand how her actions could have wide ramifications for working moms or promote the kinds of policies that have long been considered the most family-friendly and, by extension, feminist.

Frankly, I’m as turned off by all of these disclosures as the next feminist blogger. As Chloe put it when the video of Mayer’s rejection of the feminist label surfaced, Mayer’s ...
