rfmcdonaldOver at the Head Heeb, Danny has a brief post on International Women's Day and its growing importance in Israel.
Growing up, I never heard anything special about the 8th of March. So, I was surprised when yesterday, various of my co-workers from ex-Communist Europe--one Bosnian, one Polish, one Ukrainian--remarked on the fact that they couldn't get used to how International Women's Day was such a non-event in Canada. But, one noted in a lull in the conversation, in recent years CBC Radio had begun to mention that fact on its morning news roundups.
Will it take off in Canada? Wait a decade and find out.
