Ottawa, we have a problem - remind the House of the home

On April 30 Canadians will be reminded again that the time and effort they spend taking care of others is not viewed as useful to the economy.

We welcome you to look at the issues mentioned in this website and join us in a very calm, nonpartisan objection to the government that something should be done.

When we ask women (and men) to only earn money and we don't value the family side of life, we make life difficult for all Canadians. We must strike a balance that values all the roles adults have - including the role of taking care sometimes of the young, the sick, the elderly, the handicapped, the dying.

If you agree, join us in this petition, tell a friend about it. Phone a talk show. Write a letter to the editor. Phone your MP. Spread the word. It is our right. Let this petition take wing.
