Answer:
True
Explanation:
Canada’s history has been shaped by countless determined women who worked to promote and uphold gender equality in Canada. Women championed a number of important human rights that have become core Canadian values — the right to vote in provincial and federal elections, the right to own property, the right to earn a fair wage, and finally, the right to be recognized as “persons” under the law.
Women are now protected from discrimination on the grounds of gender, age, marital status and more by the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Starting in Ontario in 1884 and Manitoba in 1900, the Married Women's Property Act gave married women in these provinces the same legal rights as men, which allowed women to be able to enter into legal agreements and buy property. The rest of the provinces and territories followed slowly, with Quebec eventually signing the Married Women’s Property Act in 1964; the Civil Code of Québec was amended to give married women full legal and property rights.
