    The 1929 Persons Case established that women were eligible to be members of the Canadian Senate,and therefore that they had the same rights as mean as regards to being eligible for positions of political power.

    By extension, this meant women had achieved equality under the law in terms of fitness for political appointments,and therefore in other areas of employment.

    The Dieppe Raid (WW2) and Vimy Ridge (WW1) were battles where the majority of troops on the Allied side were Canadian;in both,they fought with great heroism.

    Sorry,don't know about the 1982 Constitution Act.

    I am missing something. I thought you wanted to quit! I would have fired you too. You're a drama queen or something. I would want you out of my store right away.
