The Proprietor Review

The British Columbian government is looking to fund ideas for economic parity for those that want to close that gap.

FCM’s Toward Parity in Municipal Politics program is looking for local initiatives that will look to strengthen opportunities or reduce barriers for women to fully participate in municipal politics/local government. The deadline to apply for demonstration project funding is August 28.
Toward Parity’s national consultations have prioritized interventions that focus on mentorship, increasing access to information and breaking down informal networking, and decision-making. While projects are welcome in any category, priority will be given to initiatives that support one of these areas of intervention.
Projects are eligible for up to $5,000 in funding. The grants are intended to be either seed funding to incubate a new idea and gain support for gender equality in the community or to scale up an idea or initiative that has shown promise.
The application deadline is August 28, 2019 at 11 p.m. PT. The project must be implemented between mid-September 2019 and June 1, 2020.

Sterio types take a knowledge of loss of individual self determining to over come. Absolute parity of outcome can not be a guarantee or is not likely to happen unless some other group is making happen. Opportunity for individuals to reach goals is desirable and should be encouraged.

Munch versions of the Scream and Madonna are taken in Oslo Norway….

Every one moves in a direction ethically sound to them. So Parliament has an independent ethics commissioner to keep the legislature true to some standard above us. He ruled on Trudeau visiting on the Aga Khans dime as being unethical even though the published standard is that it is only unethical if its not and established family friend paying the fares. But here is the kick, The RCMP security bill was out of sight at least$127,000 dollars. For a regime that came about in part by a feel good Liberal conscience party after the visage of a Vancouver connected drowned refuge child washed up on a foreign shore we all had ethical conflict.

That Christmas no one should have been comfortable in their celebration unless they rationalized it against things like the security bill for the Trudeau Christmas either subvertally or overtly. I guess we don’t need that rationalization any more as the deserving virtue of that image is now overwhelmed by moral tiredness and blame .

In the days ahead lets try to have our ethics go up and sideways instead meeting them on the way down.
