Equal Pay for work of Equal Value

Women in Canada are still lagging behind pay equity I heard at the last InternationalWomen's Day event. I heard that women work hard but take home less pay and are more likely to work part time and in more precarious jobs with little or no benefits.
Women have a ways to go to bring work/life balance in their lives because they are still saddled with most of the house-keeping chores, looking after elderly parents and still volunteering more in their community. What a life.
On top of this many women lose their jobs once they become pregnant.Employers are not willing to make any sacrifices to ensure there is future workforce. No, they are banking of developing countries to support their industries with employees who are qualified and educated by funds of the developing countries. Women have to stand up to these employers and file human rights complaint because it is against human rights to fire a woman because she is pregnant. It's time for equity.

Immigrants fare better in rural areas

Although many immigrants like to settle in urban areas where they have more access to all kinds of services, community support and jobs opportunities, research shows that immigrants who live in small urban centres and rural areas tend to achieve economic integration much faster than immigrants living in large cities. The study by Stats Canada, also indicated that the income gap between immigrants and Canadians living in similar areas closed faster over time in smaller communities.
Think about that people.
