In this aging society, Canada needs more female leaders – for everyone’s sake GlobeDebate

, women are twice as likely as men to provide intensive, repetitive care, such as bathing and dressing older family members, while men are more likely to carry out home maintenance.

Raising taxes, while cutting funding to defence, education, foreign aid and other programs not related to health care and long-term care. Imagine a meeting between a prime minister and finance minister, both men, around budget time. Demands are many and revenue limited. If the choice is between replacing some aging frigates or increasing the budget for home care, the men may incline toward the navy, knowing their wives or sisters will make sure mom and dad are looked after.

"That may mean that women will do a better job of looking out for a broader range of needs, because they take more people’s needs into consideration.”
