Hope the 'review' the Afghan government is doing leads to a total withdrawal of that awful law. International human rights standards must always trump 'cultural' practices.
See that a major grocery chain here is to charge 5 cents for customers wanting plastic bags. Such a move will discourage use of plastic and reduce plastics at landfills. Hey that sounds like a 'plastic bag' tax....and no one in our government or private sector is complaining about it...hmmm.. didn't many of these same folks cry out against the proposed carbon tax last fall...makes you wonder how 'hypocritical' some folks can be...
Lots of musings in our community about next mayoral campaign. Glad to see a major 'progressive' councillor is likely to run....
