No women at the table as Canada’s premiers gather in Saskatoon
Canada’s 13 provincial and territorial leaders are in Saskatchewan this week, but for the first time in years, the annual gathering won’t have women at the table.
“Symbolically, it’s very significant that there is no woman premier,” said Sylvia Bashevkin, a political-science professor at the University of Toronto, who researches women in politics and recently edited a book on the effect of women in the premier’s office.
