"I say it especially to the young girls out there who are thinking about politics and whether it's for them.
Do it. And when you do it, don't be afraid to run like a girl. I'll be there cheering you on."
— Catherine McKenna
Our thoughts go out to Mayor
@JyotiGondek
and her family. No one deserves to be intimidated in such a despicable manner.
We strongly condemn this behavior, as it is yet another perfect example of what contributes to the lack of representation and retention of women in politics.
@GailVazOxlade
We can stand on different sides of issues - but we should all stand together on the side of rejecting misogynist language. This tweet is unacceptable. The
#1
reason women - of all political stripes - cite for not running is the caustic tone of politics. Let’s do better.
We are sad to learn of the death of Alexa McDonough. She was a leader, a champion for women in politics, and a wonderful person. Our condolences to her family and friends.

Today we remember the day, 92 years ago, where women were officially recognized in the legal definition of "persons".
Persons Day gives us the chance to remember this historic moment and reflect on the work that has been done to protect and strengthen these rights ever since.
