They have a lovely little email on their website so they can be contacted. Please take advantage, as I did.

Subject: Your Entire Site is a Deception

Don’t be fooled into thinking Canadians aren’t aware of the deception.

There is no such thing as the disparity you are demanding from Mr. Harper. 29 cents is the difference between men’s and women’s salaries, without any reference to hours worked, maternity leave, overtime, or any other variable. It is simply raw annual income. It would be IMPOSSIBLE for Mr. Harper to force all women to forego maternity leave and work overtime which is largely VOLUNTARY. Besides that, women like yourself would be disgusted even more if he ever did propose such draconian measures.

How else would you like to see the Federal Government respond? Mandate ridiculous measures to ensure that women receive full-time salaries for part time jobs? Mandate that nobody is allowed to work overtime, or that if anyone works overtime, all workers get paid accordingly? Ensure that all women get full pay while absent from the job on Maternity leave? Mr. Harper did not institute the current policies of half pay for parental leave – he is not responsible for that inequality. why is he suddenly getting the blame for it?

When you factor in such variables, the wage disparity disappears. Your agenda is transparently trying to deceive Canadians and Canadian women about the truth. The truth is as far as wage measures go, women are doing just fine. Given identical working hours and conditions, women and men make pretty much exactly the same. Glass ceilings have been shattered systematically across this country, decades past. When you back up your claims about anti-women policies with facts, then Canadians will give you an ear. Not before.

Hat tips to the lovely, not so angry women, Kathy and Kate.

UPDATE: 12 hours later, no response. Unsurprising.
