Canada has the best employment rate for women in the G7,although their average pay is still 12 cents an hour less then men. Education is still to key to equity , and the universities and colleges continue to show a higher percentage  of women enrolled then men. While Canada certainly has some way to go, we have much to celebrate, and it is unfortunate that any gains that women have made get shoved aside in order to highlight negative aspects. If all days whether women's day or any, other descends into a negative approach, the message tends to get lost in a plethora of negative messages.
