“Such was the respect for Æthelflæd that, when Æthelred died around AD 911, she was chosen by the nobles of Mercia to rule in her own right. It was common for women in her position to retreat from public life, but Æthelflæd had stepped out of her husband’s shadow long ago. She offered Mercia continuity, stability and strength – rather than submission to Wessex – and that she never married again suggests she was unwilling to be subservient to another man again. Æthelflæd was therefore named ‘Myrcna hlædige’, or Lady of the Mercians. She strengthened the economy, improved education and intensified her campaign to build towns and defenses across her kingdom. She restored Mercian lands by force or negotiation and plunged into enemy territory to throw out the invaders once and for all. She was to die at the height of her power before she reached 50. As a wife, patron and warlord, Æthelflæd helped establish a united England, but as a woman, her place in the histories was reduced, undermined, almost forgotten.” [x]

Today in Parliament, Canada’s New Democrats introduced a motion to kick-start the implementation of universal, single-payer, public pharmacare for Canadians. Our plan will extend coverage to millions, while saving us billions a year on prescription drug costs. After decades of delay, we have a historic opportunity in this minority Parliament to finally deliver this vital program.
