Yesterday, a high-profile female minister publicly announced that she is stepping down from her post to focus on her children and climate change. MP Catherine McKenna, Minister of Infrastructure & Communities, faced years of abuse online and even vandalism of her constituency office. As a woman in Canadian politics, her experience is not uncommon. We know of other high profile female politicians like former Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne who was very candid about the very open threats to her during her years of public service. It's a trend that affects women of all political stripes. How did we get to this climate and how can we make sure that the experiences of these women don't veer future generations of women away from seeking careers in politics? Meanwhile, south of the border in the Miami area, one of the prominent faces of leadership in the condo collapse crisis is Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava.

Days after warning young voters to cast ballot or old white people will determine the election, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne offered voters everything under the sun in a desperate throne speech.
