Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦For a more in depth analysis of the constitutional legacy of the Famous 5, check out this vintage episode of Alberta Unbound. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s3-episode-7-2022-leitch-lecture-part-1-planting-a/id1511810939?i=1000557355398 #PersonsDay #PersonsCase #AlbertaUnbound #ualberta #ucalgary #Famous5 #eugenics #cdnpoli
The Famous 5 have such a dark complicated legacy, that celebrating Persons Day always brings mixed emotions. Five years ago, I created this video essay exploring the meaning of the Persons Case to me - and to Canadian constitutional history. Posting it again today, ICYMI. https://youtu.be/a_HhQP3HoxU?si=1KElQ2B2ovlNYGqy #PersonsDay #PersonsCase #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #yeg #yow #Canada #Alberta #eugenics #Vriend
Persons Day 2020 greetings from Alberta Sen. Paula Simons
penpencilbrush🇨🇦A little reminder for all the females out there, today is Persons Day in Canada.
In 1929 the Canadian courts decided a woman is a person.
"Though this decision did not include all women, such as Indigenous women and women of Asian heritage and descent, it did mark critical progress in the advancement of gender equality in Canada."
And the Conservatives are trying to take us back to that dark and stupid situation before 1929.

Blake HamiltonOops, missed #PersonsDay by a whole day! 😅 Typical me, always late to the party—just like women's legal rights in Canada were. But hey, better late than never, right? Celebrating the amazing women who fought for equality today, tomorrow, & every day. #FamousFive #EqualityMatters
