		In the Gulf region, McLaughlin said: "Bahraini women are really moving ahead and I think this is becoming a model for the area." Unlike Kuwait, Bahraini women have the right to vote and run for office.
		McLaughlin said religious reasons may be behind the advance of women not only in the Middle East but also in other places "where some Christians still oppose women rights."

		Sometime during the hot summer of 1997 in Scottsdale, Arizona, Barbara Ann and Audrey chanced to hear each other on a festival stage when they were both touring with traditional western bands.
		From 1998 to 1999, during a stint of traveling and playing together with a Phoenix-based band, they eagerly explored their mutual affinity for western swing, all the while unwittingly beginning to etch out what would become their signature singing style.
		Instrumentally speaking, Audrey's solid driving rhythm guitar and Barbara Ann's eloquent--yet playful--accordionizing are a natural and full combination to support the vocals.

	babble: party vintage
		If we look at the 1990's, Audrey McLaughlin became leader because of changing times and because a sizeable chunk of New Democrats, young and old, felt the need to make history-to be the first major party in Canada to elect a woman leader.
		To support Audrey McLaughlin because of her sex is just as short-sighted and sexist as it would be to refuse to support her for the same reason.
		Audrey McLaughlin's leadership was an unfortunate period in our party's history for a) the way it came about and b) the way it rolled out.

		Audrey McLaughlin was born in Dutton, Ontario in 1936.
		But Canadians, distressed by nine years of government under Conservative Brian Mulroney, turned to the Liberals in the 1993 general election and, as a result, only nine New Democrat Members of Parliament were elected, three less than that required for official party status in the House of Commons.

		One thinks back to the 1989 convention in Winnipeg where Audrey McLaughlin was chosen over Dave Barrett, the former B.C premier who talked about Canada leading a global war against pollution, even suggesting that the Canadian Armed Forces should be converted from a military to an environmental-protection role.
		His approach was in stunning contrast to McLaughlin, who still speaks in banalities, generalizations and traditional leftist rhetoric.
		Jim Fulton, their environmental critic, is terrific, but his clout at Audrey's court seems to be zip.

		Audrey Mclaughlin, leader of the New Democratic Party, was equally zealous in extolling Israel's virtues, but hinted ever so delicately that not everything the Jewish state did was praiseworthy.
		Even this mild rebuke evoked an angry response from some members of the audience during the question period, prompting Mclaughlin to protest that she was not criticizing Israel's move but only suggesting the expulsions "may not have had the intended effect" of curbing violence.
		The only politician bold enough to address the contentious issue of Palestinian rights was the leader of the Bloc Quebecois, a nationalist party committed to Quebec's independence.

		McLaughlin: The common security paper ties in with the environmental issue by saying clearly that the environment is international.
		As far as we're concerned now, the policy of withdrawal from NATO, which has existed for a long time in the party, was designed with the view that Canadian withdrawal might kickstart a process of disengagement-that it might begin the dissolution of the military blocs.

		Badgered by national party leaders such as Liberal Jean Chretien and the New Democratic Party's Audrey McLaughlin in the House of Commons, and regional parties like the Reform Party and Bloc Quebecois in the hustings, Mulroney has relinquished his efforts to "win a Triple Crown" of federal electoral majorities.
		What may have finally convinced Mulroney to leave was the defeat of not one, but two, constitutional initiatives, including a referendum last fall that generated $16 million worth of advertising but was not passed, and the massive job losses that resulted from the implementation of the FTA.
		Cabinet ministers are selected from the party led by the head of government, and either hold seats in the House of Commons or, infrequently, the Senate.

		The group has levelled complaints specifically at the CBC who, they say, have denied them the opportunity to make their case to Canadians.

		However, regardless of the reason, McLaughlin was a disaster as leader.
