A report released by the Alberta Council of Women’s Shelter Wednesday that 25, 000 women and children were turned away from Alberta’s 41 women’s shelter in 2006, and an increase of 28 per cent from the year before. The government of Alberta stated it’s not ignoring the plight of abused women and children this is due to the inadequate funding. Article continuesThis is really sad to hear that women still continues to be subject to abuse and oppression in our society. When I see 25, 000 abused women and children are seeking safe heaven than I would say there is something wrong with our equality system and definitely everyone is not benefiting from it particularly women and children. This is a very large number. The recent report shows abuse and oppression against women in Alberta continues to rise. In 2006 “Alberta shelters received nearly 100,000 crisis calls and had nearly 50 per cent increase in the last three years (CBC News). This is something need to be looked at very closely due to its large number and also because of its higher rate prior to last year. This shows that women still continues to be dominated by men socially and economically in this country and they are still subject to discrimination, abuse and oppression. Canada regardless of its domestic violence against women is accusing other countries for lack of human rights and gender discrimination. Canada has sponsored UN resolution against Iran condemning ongoing systematic violations of human rights. This is great and I am very proud of the Canadian protecting human rights beyond its borders. They should not cover and hide their own crisis. The UNICEF Canada reported last Tuesday “about one in six Canadian children live in poverty” a number unchanged in a generation" (CBC News).
Women and children in this country just like any other country in the world are suffering from oppression, abuse and discrimination. Canada needs to fix its own problems first protect women and children within its border from abuse and oppression. The Alberta Council of Women's Shelters reported on Wednesday that “25,000 women and children were turned away from Alberta's 41 women's shelters in 2006, an increase of 28 per cent from the year before” (CBC News). This is clearly shows that there is a troubling trend. Are more women being abused or do more want to break free? Our equality system is not serving a particular group of our community and they are still subject to abuse and oppression. It shows that our system does not serve one member of our society and they are still oppressed, abused, and discriminated against.
The new Saskatchewan government Sask-party indicated last week that the NDP left government finances in a mess which have vigorously denied by the former premier Lorne Calvert. Mr. Calvert in a statement to Mr. Wall said Thursday he couldn't believe the “words coming out of Brad Wall's mouth Wednesday night,” shortly after he was sworn in as Saskatchewan's 14th premier. (CBC News) Calvert said he left a “$2-billion surplus for Wall's government and if that's not enough, then the Saskatchewan Party can't manage its money” (CBC News). 
new to many of us who watches politics. Brad Wall still wants to embarrassing NDP and its long legacy governance in front of the people of Saskatchewan. He is heading in the road already to start blaming NDP for future problem. On the other hand, NDP still playing the past card that Sask-party is not the right party for this province and this is the first sign of that they cannot manage this province financially. I personally don’t believe either of them because neither of them have token the honesty step to prove themselves. Like I said Mr. Wall and his government has already found his way like any other government to blame the previous government for future problems and failure. Mr. Wall said the problem isn't now, “it's coming in future years unless the new government looks at its spending and makes some changes” (CBC News). “The challenge is that some long-term program spending that the NDP have made commitments to are being funded by some one-time revenue or at least revenue that if you were budgeting prudently and carefully, you might not assume for future years” (CBC News). The people of this province elected Mr. Wall to bring changes to this province not start with complains about NDP past record, that is too general for the people of this province. They have been given the mandate to bring changes to this province as they have promised. They should do so.
According to the UNICEF Canada report, a high numbers of children living in poverty, poor health and state care suggest Canada is failing to meet its obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

According to other findings of the report, based on earlier reports or from Statistics Canada, indicate that about “one in six Canadian children live in poverty, a number unchanged in a generation” (CBC).
