Causes of Death, Canada (1992), by sex
July 28, 2002, I was made aware of a press release issued by Shelternet.The press
release stated:
Shelternet to be launched on August 13, 2002!
Among women aged 15-44
worldwide, gender based violence accounts for more death and ill health than cancer,
traffic injuries and malaria combined.
-World Bank Report, UNIFEM
Press Release 2000-
Thank you to the following supporters who
are making the dream of Shelternet a reality:
The Canadian Business Magazine The Canadian Women's Foundation The Centre for Research on Violence
Against Women and Children, UWO Fairmont Hotels & Resorts
Mary Kay Cosmetics The Ministry of Citizenship (The Volunteer @ction.online program) The National Crime Prevention Centre
Pangaea NewMedia The Rural Secretariat TELUS The Trillium Foundation
A few logos shown at the end of the release are not readily identifiable with any of
the organizations contained in the preceding list. They belong to the Governments of
Canada, to Ontario (the Government of Ontario, I presume) and to the Women's Community
House. None of the organizations listed are known to be family-friendly. Some
of them, including the Government of Canada, are outright family-hostile.
One of the
sponsors listed is TELUS, a Canadian (now largely foreign-owned) telecommunications
company that, a little over ten years ago, came into
existence through the privatization of Alberta Government Telephones.
TELUS eventually bought out Edmonton Telephones and BC Telephones. During its new
existence as a private corporate entity, TELUS performed so exceedingly poorly that it had
to save itself from financial disaster once by laying off 6,000 of its employees (then
about half of its work force). TELUS is now in the process of doing that again.
It announced that it has to lay off 6,000 of its employees (one quarter of
its combined work force), apparently to make them pay for its poor management decisions
that saw its bond ratings drop from AAA to BB, just one step away from junk-bond
performance.
Why would TELUS, apparently slated to go under or at least to enter the
Nirvana of corporate oblivion, feel that it needs to scrape together the funding required
to support a hare-brained scheme by radical gender activists? Citizens of
Alberta and British Columbia, not
radical feminists from Ontario, provide the lion's share
of TELUS' operating revenues.
More about the context of the scheme is shown after the contact information from the
press release:

* Is the world overpopulated?
If all of the world's people were located in the Province of Alberta (just a
touch smaller in area than the State of Texas) and each were to have an equal
share of all of the land in Alberta, then each of the world's people would have
98.6m2 of land to live on.
Assuming that the average household consists of three people, a family of three
would have enough space (3,184 ft2) for a moderately-sized house and
a garden large enough to grow some of the food consumed by the family.
- Alberta land area: 661,565 km2, 255,541 miles2
- World population: 6,706,993,152 (Source:
