In a CBC Radio commentary [audio link] Heather Davis - a former co-ordinator of the women’s centre in Corner Brook – criticises the Advisory Council on the Status of Women and its president Linda Ross for Ross’ recent comments about violence against women:
Everyone is demanding answers after a recent murder suicide, notes Davis, everyone except the provincial organization whose job that is.
Davis says there is a “disconnect” between the provincial advisory council and local women’s groups. She identifies the cause: the provincial government - maybe the minister responsible – decided to appoint the president rather than follow past practice and leave it to women’s groups in the province to recommend the right person to head the advisory council.
Interesting.
Seems there are a few people who have problems with Linda Ross.
