OTTAWA, Nov 16 (LSN.ca) - The scandal over the World March of Women 2000 has not died, nor will it in the near future as the Women's March organization continues its offensive promoting lesbian rights. In a recently released candidate questionnaire, the Canadian Women's March organization asks candidates to honour the demands stemming from the march. The questionnaire claims it represents "the demands of the Women of Canada", and notes that "our demands were developed through a country-wide consultation with women."

Among the questions asked of candidates are: Will you and your party support women's organizing for equality and democracy by:
- allocating $50 million to front-line, independent, feminist, women-controlled groups committed to ending violence against women, such as women's centres, rape crisis centres and women's shelters?
- funding a national meeting of lesbians to discuss and prioritize areas for legislative and public policy reform?

Will you and your party support progressive immigration reform which: ...
- includes persecution on the basis of gender and sexual orientation as grounds for claiming refugee status?
