Where is the best and worst place in Canada to be a woman? According to our latest study, Québec City is the best place to be a woman and Edmonton the worst.
The study, by Senior Researcher Kate McInturff, ranks Canada's 20 largest metropolitan areas based on a comparison of how men and women are faring in five areas: economic security, leadership, health, personal security, and education.

A Growing Concern: Ontario's Gender Pay Gap
April 16, 2014 marks Equal Pay Day in Ontario.
It falls on this day because a woman, on average, would have to work all last year, plus all working days up until April 16 of the current year just to make the average male income. It's a week later than last year, which means the gap between women's and men's average earnings is getting bigger, not smaller.

How much more do students today have to work today to pay for school? Were the differences between faculties always this big? You may be surprised by the answers, and by the unique stories from each province and each course of study.
