joni mitchell is cited as a proud example of the achievement of saskatchewan women on International Women's Day in the Provincial Legislature of Saskatchewan: Mr. Britton: -- Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it's a pleasure also for me also to stand in my place and speak on this motion, asking that the Assembly commit itself to further the equality and the well-being of women in Saskatchewan. International Women's Day has been so designated as an opportunity for people to reflect on the struggles that women have endured and the goals that women have achieved throughout the world. Saskatchewan is home to many successful women, Mr. Speaker, including I would say, the Lieutenant Governor and physicist, Sylvia Fedoruk; two Canadian . . . two-time Canadian curling champions, the Sandra Peterson team; former Governor General, Jeanne Sauve pi; author, Maggie Siggins; and singer, Joni Mitchell. Mr. Speaker, these are all Saskatchewanians but . . . well not a Saskatchewanian, we also saw the first woman prime minister in the history of Canada in Kim Campbell, which indicates, Mr. Speaker, the long, hard road that the women have fought does seem to be bearing fruit. And, Mr. Speaker, this is but a small example of the highly accomplished women who came from Saskatchewan. shane http://www.angelfire.com/art/cactussong
