Canadian women represent approximately 20 percent of elected officials, although
we are over 50 percent of the population. Why? Professor Sylvia Bashevkin, noted
academic and author of Women, Power, Politics, will share her analysis and solutions
to the realities of women and politics today. Her thesis is that “women + power =
discomfort.”

The Hon. Elinor Caplan, P.C. will share views from her personal experience in over
25 years in municipal politics, the Ontario legislature, and the federal parliament. She
served in key cabinet positions for Liberal governments. She is a member of Equal
Voice, which promotes the election of more women to all levels of government.

What can be done to ensure that issues that are important to women are addressed
by our governments? Join us for an enlightening and empowering discussion about
the future of women in Canadian politics.
