Happy International Women's Day, to all of the women in the past, present and future. I'm proud to be a part of this amazing group!

The “Women are Persons" monument in Ottawa is a tribute to the Famous Five: Irene Parlby, Louise McKinney, Nellie McClung, Emily Murphy and Henrietta Muir Edwards.

It recognizes the 1929 Privy Council decision that reversed a Supreme Court of Canada ruling, officially declaring women as "persons" under the British North America Act.

Thank You Farmers

While we're complaining about shoveling our driveways, Canadian farmers are out there at 5am breaking ice off water troughs and making sure their animals are fed. No snow days.

No sick days. No clocking out at 5. Just pure dedication 365 days a year so we can have food on our tables.

This post is for every farmer, rancher, and agriculture worker across this beautiful country. We see you. We appreciate you.
