In the May edition of Chatelaine magazine they have five readers speaking out ‘on the issues and themselves’. As it is doubtful that they will ever get to asking moi, I thought I would answer the same questions anyway.

Describe yourself: Entrepreneur, independent, open minded, kind and intelligent. Loves: My pets, movies, travel, my laptop, good food & wine. Hates: Cruelty, rudeness, unkindness, indifference and prejudice. Guilty pleasure: Curling up with a book or magazine, some chocolate and a cup of tea. Biggest issue facing Canadian women: Making sure we have a voice in the government so that we can be part of the decision making around such issues as the environment, retirement, health care, child care and wages.

I recommend writing your own profile but I warn you it may take a bit longer than you think.
