Just heard on the news that long time Con MP Flora MacDonald died today. She was a lady who deserved respect. She broke a lot of new ground for women in her day. Today we take for granted female party leaders, high ranking cabinet members, etc, but that was still virtually unheard of back in the 70`s! She also did a lot of humanitarian work well into her retirement. Although from Nova Scotia, she served as MP for Kingston and the Islands from 1972 - 1988, she did a lot for her constituency. RIP

A very decent woman.
A Progressive Conservative M.P., and ran for leadership of the party as well.

She does deserve respect. She devoted the rest of her life to women causes (especially in Iraq, etc.) and humanitarian concerns.

Saw this on the news last night. Thanks for posting this StevieRay.
