Souvent, on dit que c’est le nerf de la guerre. Cette image empreinte de testostérone nous fait croire que l’argent est depuis toujours la chose des hommes. Et pourtant. Nos grand-mères et arrière grands-mères sont celles qui ont géré le budget familial. Elles ont inventé l’optimisation budgétaire avant que le concept ne soit enseigné dans les écoles de gestion. Faire des miracles avec peu, tirer le plein potentiel de chaque dollar, elles connaissaient ça. C’était il y a longtemps, et c’était un travail dans Dans ce magazine, on dresse un portrait du Québec l’ombre. Plusieurs années plus tard, des pionnières inc. aujourd’hui, et des visages de la philanthropie prenaient leur courage à deux mains pour briser les au féminin. Les pages qui suivent mettent en lumière moules et se lancer en affaires.

Plusieurs d’entre elle avait pris l’habitude de se faire accompagner elles ont aussi choisi de donner au suivant. Inspirant, par un homme. Aujourd’hui, le stéréotype tend non ? • à s’estomper. Les capacités de gestionnaires des femmes sont reconnues. Les banquiers ont compris qu’elles remplissent leurs engagements. Mais loin de nous l’idée de crier victoire. Radio-Canada rapportait les résultats d’une étude de Statistique Canada publiée en janvier 2019. Celle-ci révélait qu’on retrouve seulement 20 % femmes dans les 1 % des revenus supérieurs, soit 35 000 femmes pour 137 000 hommes. Non seulement les femmes sont loin en proportion, mais leur revenu médian est aussi inférieur à celui des hommes. Pourtant, les femmes donnent souvent sans compter quand elles s’engagent dans des causes qui leur tiennent à cœur, en temps ou en argent.

  • Le CS3R Veut Sensibiliser Les Députés Mauriciens Sur Le Droit À La Critique De L’État D’Israël
    Le 24 février 2017 Communiqué de presse Pour diffusion immédiate Motion contre le mouvement BDS Le CS3R veut sensibiliser les députés mauriciens sur le droit à la critique de l’État d’Israël Trois-Rivières – Premier anniversaire d’une motion appelant le gouvernement à condamner les citoyennes et citoyens canadiens qui osent critiquer la politique d’apartheid menée par Israël. Pour souligner l’événement, le CS3R, engagé de longue date dans la défense du droit des Palestiniens, s’est retroussé les manches et part à la rencontre des députés de la région pour les sensibiliser à cette motion anti-démocratique. Il y a un an, le parti libéral de M. Justin Trudeau a approuvé une motion, déposée par le Parti conservateur, qui appelle à rejeter le mouvement de Boycott, désinvestissement et sanctions (BDS) et à condamner tout individu, groupe ou organisation canadienne qui ferait la promotion du mouvement BDS ici au Canada et à l’étranger. Le mouvement BDS, qui appelle à faire pression sur les politiques et agissements illégaux de l’État d’Israël de façon pacifique tout en condamnant toute forme de racisme et d’antisémitisme, est soutenu par un grand nombre d’organisations de la société civile, dont le Comité de Solidarité/Trois-Rivières fait partie. C’est donc en solidarité avec les Palestiniennes et les Palestiniens qui subissent un véritable régime d’apartheid, en solidarité avec les citoyennes et les citoyens québécois et canadiens dont les droits à la liberté d’expression sont bafoués et en solidarité avec le mouvement BDS que le gouvernement canadien tente de réduire au silence, que le CS3R échangera avec les députés fédéraux de la région.

Conservatives share of vote is slightly higher than the Liberals, making major gains in key areas for the party • Bloc Quebecois (BQ) is a winner in this election, moving up to official party status which will give the party added resources as well as significance in the House of Commons • The NDP managed to win enough seats to potentially play an important role in the House of Commons, but the party took a big hit in Quebec — where they were only able to hold one of the Layton era “Orange Wave” seats • Maxime Bernier, who started the People’s Party of Canada after narrowly losing the Conservative leadership contest in 2017, lost the seat he has held onto since 2006 • The former Treasury Board president Dr. Jane Philpott, who ran as an independent following her departure from the liberal caucus, lost her seat in Markham Stouffville to former Liberal MPP and Ontario Minister of Health, Dr. Helena Jaczek.

  • Don't Decriminalize Weed, Legalize It (Canadian Pot
    Don’t Decriminalize Weed, Legalize It (Canadian Pot Politics) By Cotey Paterson In July of this year, Justin Trudeau, the leader of the federal Liberal Party of Canada, came out in support of cannabis legalization. Trudeau said he’s “not in favour of decriminalizing” cannabis, he’s “in favour of legalizing it”. Trudeau supports taxation and regulation, saying “it’s one of the only ways to keep it [cannabis] out of the hands of our kids because the current war on drugs, the current model isn’t working". Trudeau did not keep it safe by using the weasel-word 'decriminalization', which would keep the black market unharmed while creating uncertainty in the law. Instead, he had the courage to say what a majority of Canadians know: the laws prohibiting cannabis do more harm to users and society than the drug itself. We need to make it known that Canadians support Trudeau’s courageous position. One easy way to do that is by signing the petition to legalize cannabis on the Liberal Party of Canada’s website. It currently has more than 22,000 signatures, but with millions of Canadian cannabis users, there should be many more people willing to take a few minutes to show their support and possibly impact Canada’s drug laws. Trudeau’s pot remarks have been well-received by most – but in the past, he has expressed fears about the danger cannabis poses to society. Additionally, in 2009, Trudeau and other Liberal MPs voted for Bill C-15, which would have imposed mandatory minimum sentences for cannabis-related offences.

    News Video Music Politics TV Movies Video Games RS Country More Justin Trudeau: Is the Opeth's Mikael Ronnie James Dio TRENDING Canadian Prime Akerfeldt: My 10 Hologram Plots World Minister the Free... Favorite Metal Albums Tour Justin Trudeau: The North Star He was raised in jet-set privilege but overcame tragedy to become Canada's prime minister. Is he the free world's best hope? By Stephen Rodrick Michael Kappeler/ZUMA Let's begin by synchronizing our watches. We are in the Eastern time zone. The legislative session is over, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is about to give his wrap-up press conference. The reporters trudge into the gallery, grumbling, as reporters like to do, about trac and editors. Someone gives the "10 seconds" signal, and Trudeau strides to the podium. He gives a nod and starts ticking o his accomplishments. The rst is self-praise for cutting taxes on the middle class and raising them on the one percent. "We've given nine out of 10 families more money each month to help with the costs of raising their kids," Trudeau says. RELATED Canada's Legal Weed: What You Need to Know Justin Trudeau introduced a bill that would make marijuana legal – but what will that look like, and what will it mean for the U.S.? It's strange to witness: He speaks in a modulated, indoor voice. His dark hair is a color found in nature. At home, there is a glamorous wife and three photogenic children, still not old enough to warm his seat at next week's G-20 summit or be involved in an espionage scandal.
