Dear Editor:
Thank you for informing us that our tax dollars are paying for menstrual products for all federally regulated employers. This is just another example of the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) agenda that is soaking the taxpayers of this post-national country.
DEI has infected the Supreme Court, too. On March 8, Justice Sheilah Martin referred to a woman as “a person with a vagina” in a written judgement. We are now defined by one body part. A man is now “a person with a penis” by the same logic.
In order for “equity of outcome” to reign the government needs to put in place a program similar to pharmacare that provides all Canadian “persons with a vagina” their needed menstrual products free of charge. After all, “persons with a penis” don’t have the same expenses. And, to provide these products to just federally regulated employees is not “equity.”
While I think my logic on “equity” policy is correct, on second thought I think I would rather have our tax dollars spent on equipping the military with up-to-date ships, planes, tanks and whatever else is needed to get our borders back.
Jane Vandervliet,
