Liberal Insiders See Carney as Trudeau Successor, Star Reports
A group of Liberal Party insiders has discussed the possibility that Bank of England Governor Mark Carney could replace Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as leader of their party, the Toronto Star reported. Carney’s name came up in a conference call of “backroom players” discussing Trudeau’s waning fortunes ahead of an October general election, according to the newspaper, which cited an unidentified participant on the call. A poor showing for Trudeau could open the door for Carney to succeed Trudeau, the Star said.

Trudeau appoints first ambassador to advance women, peace and security
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has appointed Canada's first ambassador for women, peace and security. Jacqueline O'Neill, who has served on a number of related international bodies, assumes the new diplomatic post designed to advance the Liberal government's feminist foreign policy. O'Neill will also provide advice to the government on how to protect the rights of women and girls who face violence and insecurity. Since 2011, she has served as a federal adviser on advancing peace and security for women. She has helped create policies on gender and security in NATO, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, and the United Nations.

Family is important to her

On top of her advocacy work, Gregoire Trudeau is also hustling to the hockey rink like so many other moms.
Earlier Thursday, the Population Council, a gender equity research group, released findings from a multi-country study showing that girls who have babies in their teens are less likely to be paid for their work than women who didn’t.
The study, prepared for the conference, of 600 million women, ages 20 to 49, from 43 low- and middle-income countries found teen moms, ages 20 to 24, are 1.2 times more likely to work than their peers.
But “across all age groups, working women who had a child during adolescence are less likely to be paid for their work than women who did not have a child during adolescence,” according to the report.
It found that women who have a child before the age of 18 are set back economically for the rest of their lives.
“The ability to earn and control cash represents more than just earnings, it influences a woman’s ability to make strategic life choices,” author Stephanie Psaki, of the council’s Girl Centre, said in a news release. She said it’s one of the first studies to show across so many countries that teen motherhood can affect how much a woman earns during her life.

It also said most women, 20 to 49, in those countries are employed but the work is “often not economically compensated or empowering.”
More than half of all women in a majority of the countries studied worked, with employment rates being the lowest among 20- to 24-year-olds and increases steadily with age. In some countries, women’s employment levelled off after age 40.
It also said child-bearing before 18 is widespread and is common in many low- and middle-income countries. In sub-Saharan Africa, at least 30 per cent of women have a child before adulthood in nearly a dozen countries.
Iversen said the study points at the need for contraception, safe abortion and sex education as well as expanding economic opportunities for girls and women.
