Now if this doesn't finally convince
you of the perilous position we and our friends and family are in then
absolutely nothing will.
Note how the family 'separates' (the evil
man from the secure figure of the woman with her children) as you place your
cursor over the picture and the inevitable "donation option' appears.

As activist Arthur Mann of
Toronto says:
* doesn't Ontario's Human
Rights Code specifically bar "discrimination via signs or symbols" ?
Why does this apply to one sector of the
population and not others? Can you feel the discrimination? Do you feel
secure tonight? Are you proud to be a Canadian? Feel protected by the
Charter and those who are supposed to oversee our security of person and
equality under law? Time to fight yet?

From Toronto Activist Arthur
Mann
Corporate-funded National Male-bashing Campaign
Yet, how is tax deductible all encompassing
father-bashing much different?
Canadians should rightly boycott and
protest against the retail chains
and Chartered
Banks now prominently displaying and /or funding
this
sexist, hate-mongering, socially divisive image:

go here and touch the image with the cursor-JS)
Revoke
the misandrist Canadian Women's Foundation's tax exempt status !
'Human
Rights' entities harass the likes of Mark Steyn & Ezra Levant over
Islamists' supposed hurt feelings but stand idly by while the 'Korporate
Krupps'
(see
the historic 'parallel)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Krupp (JS)
tax
deductibly fund the 'Shelter from the Storm' hate campaign aimed
at the
wholesale demonization of all Canadian males !
Beyond
being blatantly anti-male in general and anti-father in particular,
'Shelter from the Storm' is also effectively an anti-family
hate crusade:
to
endlessly divide along the perforated line; thus producing a large
void between stereotypical
'evil father' and his 'victimized' family.
* doesn't Ontario's Human Rights Code
specifically bar "discrimination via signs or symbols" ???
Despite well-documented research
confirming
"seven
per cent of women and six per cent of men end up abused by their current or
former partners"
here's what CWF & every
man's corporate enemies would have the public believe:
Fifty one
per cent of women in Canada have experienced at least one incident of
physical or sexual violence since the age of 161
One to
two women are murdered by a current or former partner each week in Canada2
Every
year in Canada, up to 360,000 children are exposed to domestic violence3
Sixty one per cent of adults in Canada say they personally know at least one
woman who has experienced physical or sexual abuse4
These corporate entities in
particular - logos from the
stopviolence.ca website
- are most actively supporting
this hate campaign by shamelessly displaying the
offending image prominently at checkouts
together with
tee-shirts for sale, donation boxes & other promotional items:
"Shelter
from the Storm is Canada’s largest national campaign dedicated to
ending violence against women. From April 14th to May 11th,
you can help the Canadian Women’s Foundation raise funds to support more
than 450 shelters for abused women and their children, across Canada.
You’ll also
be helping to fund community programs that assist women as they rebuild
their lives after abuse; that teach young people about healthy relationships;
and that counsel children who have witnessed violence, to help them heal and
prevent them from becoming victims or abusers themselves"

About Us
Who We
Are and What We Do
Canadian Women’s Foundation (CWF) is Canada’s only
national public foundation dedicated to improving the lives of women and
girls.
CWF
researches, shares and funds the best approaches to:
Funding dynamic community initiatives: CWF has granted
over $10 million to innovative, grassroots programs in every province and
territory, with a focus on helping women and girls who have the least
access to resources and opportunities. CWF-funded initiatives go through a
rigorous grant selection process which is informed by a national strategy
on each issue. Applications are screened by a national panel of experts
and community leaders, and only those initiatives that promise the
greatest long-term impacts are selected.
Leading change and sharing knowledge: CWF researches and
shares the most effective approaches to helping women and girls reach
their full potential, and has developed national strategies on ending
violence against women, moving low-income women out of poverty, and
building strong, resilient girls. Each provides a framework to inform our
granting strategy and guide organizations that help women and girls across
the country.
Establishing best practices: We bring together
organizations that work with women and girls for skills training and
knowledge exchange, and work with them to develop evaluation tools that
reveal the most promising practices for helping women and girls.
Building a
community of women helping women: CWF is advancing the potential
for women to become powerful agents of social change. Through initiatives
like
Women Play BIG
and CWF donor education sessions, we are connecting women with their
values and helping them to strategically pool their resources in
initiatives that are changing the lives of women and girls, and improving
the long-term social and economic outlook for Canada.
More aptly entitled "Meet the
Korporate Krupps" - private sector entities with an
opportunistic, socially divisive ethical outlook not unlike Nazi-bankrolling
German arms maker Krupp AG back in the 1930's
