Violence Against Women: The Issue The Liberals Want To Avoid

The Alex Pierson Show

01-08-2024 • 16 mins

The Federal government, which constantly refers to itself as a "feminist" government just showed its true colours when victims and advocates against violence against women were speaking to the House of Commons committee. Instead of addressing the problem, the liberals decided to pivot the conversation to abortion rights and made it a political attack against Conservatives, leading those testifying to storm out of the building in anger, disgust and offence. One of those women, Cait Alexander who is also the founder of End Violence Everywhere, joined host Alex Pierson to talk about just how offensive the liberal and NDP MPs were during the committee hearing, why this is a MAJOR issue and why our government, regardless of political ideology needs to do a better job of addressing it immediately.
