Vacation Budget: Ford Dealership and World War

vacation budget: 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.'' Organizers say the event is meant to promote women's rights rather than oppose Trump, but for Woodland and others taking part, the president-elect who has come under fire for his comments about women is at the heart of the issue, according to Huffington Post Canada. 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. 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.
