Welcome to The Great Canadian Single Mothers' Website

The Great Canadian Single Mothers' Website is for and about single mothers across Canada. Information, stories, pictures and legends are posted here to strengthen and encourage you as you carry on the unique, tough journey that is single motherhood.

The aim is to address some of the pressing issues facing Canadian single mothers today. Debunking of old stereotypes, new legislation affecting single mothers and "how to" articles on everything from time management to day care are only some of the hot topics to be covered in We Got News.

Interwoven with newsy stuff will be interviews with Amazing Adult Children of Single Mothers to show you that there's nothing to stop kids of single moms from being as successful, strong and powerful as those who graduate from two parent families.

Steals and Deals will try to keep you posted on the best opportunities to capitalize on your hard earned money.

Good for What Ails Ya will hopefully fill you in on ways to protect and recharge your health.

For fun, there will be a page dedicated to Great Movies for Single Moms and another devoted to Great Books for Single Moms.

My experiences as a single mother have led me to suspect that single mothers are lightening rods for social anxiety. It struck me that it's time to employ every technique known to journalism to battle the stereotypes that still cling to single mothers in this country. To kick things off, I'd like to invoke Eleanor Roosevelt, orphan at ten, First Lady at 49 and a powerful advocate for the rights of minorities and women. She pointed out that "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." And then direct your gaze to the image of Rosie the Riveter at the top of this post, a great visual reminder that no matter how tough it is, no matter how tired you are, no matter how rough the road, never doubt that you won't find the strength within yourself, never doubt that You Can Do It!
