eronica Strong-Boag, a well-known Canadian historian of women, published a blog post for the Canadian Museum for Human Rights on March 4, 2014. Strong-Boag highlighted the history of IWD and emphasized its continued importance today. However, "Communications" at CMHR removed the post after a few short hours due to one sentence about the current Conservative government. The sentence originally appeared as the following: "In 2014 Canada’s Conservative government left its anti-woman record unmentioned (which included withdrawal of plans for a national child care program and major cuts to Status of Women Canada [2006], the prohibition of civil servants taking pay equity complaints to the Human Rights Commission [2009], the denial of international funding for abortion [2010], and major cuts to public services that employ and serve significant numbers of women)[1] as it dedicated IWD week to the ‘valuable contribution of women entrepreneurs." The section in paratheses was added by Strong-Boag for the reposting of the blog post on the website ActiveHistory.ca.
