donald trump: But when she heard that thousands of women were planning to march on the U.S. capital the day after Donald Trump's inauguration, the Yukon resident knew she had to join in, according to Toronto Star. Woodland, who owns a Ford dealership in Whitehorse with her best friend, spent her entire vacation budget for 2017 so that she could take part in the Women's March on Washington an event she believes will be a turning point in North America. Chris Young / THE CANADIAN PRESS By Paola Loriggio The Canadian Press Sat., Dec. 31, 2016 Before this year's American election, Tina Woodland had never protested anything in her life.

The Trump administration doesn't have any respect for women or minorities, said Woodland, who hopes one of her adult daughters will join her for the rally. Woodland's family lived through the Second World War before immigrating to Canada, and the mother of two said she has seen similar extremist views emerge and take hold during the presidential campaign.
