Just in the last week, politicians have had their staff verbally abused, their tires slashed, and bricks thrown through their office windows.

This needs to stop. https://globalnews.ca/news/7276360/catherine-mckenna-political-threats/

There is no room for misogynistic and sexist hate in this world.

That means more Catherines, more Michelles, more Lisas. It means more women in politics.
But it means they need to feel safe taking part.
So do your part.
