PittTheElder posted:That article doesn't really seem to be anything like how you describe. At least on the part that's on the website, everything seems to be 'men doing more, women still doing most, people hate laundry, doing chores helps you get along with your spouse (regardless of gender)', without any judgmental statements at all. Unless I'm missing something. Nope, the final frontier is the division of household chores traditionally done by women. Thanks for this cutting insight, G&M editorial.

Yeah man, after we figure out who's going to do the chores now that women are exactly 100% equal with men in all other ways, that's it. Feminism's done. We've reached the endgame, we just need to push a little harder and when your husband finally does the vacuuming for once in his life you can sit back, relax, crack open a beer and reflect on how feminism is no longer necessary because we solved all the gender problems in the world.

Truly the end game, now we get all geared out. Thank God we hit level 90/55/MaxLevel. Feminism truly has been completed. In other news, the Post seems to be getting better and better at using photos to make Harper look hilarious or bad depending on how you look at it. Oh how the times they are a changin.

There is a ton of work that still needs to be done vis a vis feminism in Canada. (My mom is huge into trying to get equality, and women being able to do whatever they want, and actually is a good argument that woman can both have careers and families), but in a positive note, I realized this afternoon that the premiers of the four most populous provinces (and richest too I think) are women.

That being said, let's 2.5 then. Also, the premier of NFLD is a woman as well, which means half the provinces have women premiers.

But the Globe is terrible so they made it about "FEMINISM IS OVER" Wente has been hammering this drum for a while now; it's not much of a surprise to see a larger portion of the G&M spew out the same awful opinion.

The argument can be made that the Liberal win was an endorsement of Clark's performance as premier, regardless of the result in Point Grey. But its not exactly a secret that she is nearly as hated by Liberals as she is by everyone else.

THC posted:The "final frontier" for the feminist movement is not rape culture, nor violence against women, nor the patriarchy that continues to run rampant in our most powerful institutions. (See the numerous women who spoke out about sexual harassment in the RCMP last year, which led to absolutely nothing because the RCMP is an untouchable gang of fuckheads.) That is an excellent point. I didn't think about the title combined with the rather mundane subject matter. Much appreciated.

Oh god, they let him get to a mic again...Justin Trudeau posted:I am a Quebecer. When I am in the presence of other Quebecers, I will often use the pronoun “we”. But what I said then was a statement of fact. Quebec has 24 Senate seats to Alberta's six. That is to Quebec’s advantage. And Ontario’s I might add. That is not my opinion. It’s a statement of Constitutional fact.  I don't even want the Dauphin loving up this week, just stay on message "WTF, Duffy, Wright!?" until Harper can't recover.

I'm really hesitant to get mad at Justin Trudeau for saying something that's true. I don't support the modern LPC and its New Labour Flavour, and I get that Justin should probably avoid talking about electoral politics when it's been poison for the LPC since his daddy's time, but I can't help but feel like every time I laugh at Justin Trudeau gaffing, some Tory staffer somewhere twirls his mustaches in joy.

It's true as far as that goes although the obvious unspoken corollary is that the status quo is a disadvantage to Alberta. One really shouldn't be speaking of regionalism in terms of competing advantages if one is trying to be leader of a Federal system. Also Stéphane Dion came out in favour of an elected empowered Senate today, so I don't even know what the gently caress these guys are playing at, but now is not the time for a policy debate. In politics when the other guys is on the ground bleeding you don't dust yourself off and try to elevate the conversation, you put your boot on his neck and make sure he stays down.

In politics when the other guys is on the ground bleeding you don't dust yourself off and try to elevate the conversation, you put your boot on his neck and make sure he stays down. "Stephane Dion came out in favour of an elected empowered Senate" is a really...odd reading of what he actually said. Not to pick on you specifically, the media coverage of that particular interview has been awful, as is sadly typical for everything Dion says. Specifically, this bit: quote:"An elected Senate would be powerful," Dion said. "A Senate, when you have good people in it, well-chosen by the prime minister, may help the country." is more saying that an elected Senate would be powerful OR a Senate with good people in it, well-chosen by the PM (and therefore not elected), could help the country. As he said (and focused on) in the interview, our current PM raises an issue of whether he has the honesty or judgment to choose Senators for the good of the country rather than the good of the party. He didn't, to my reading, make any judgment on which track of reform would be better, only that reform needs to happen. Admittedly I am a Dion fanboy and tend to give him the benefit of the doubt when a story breaks suggesting he's said something that makes no sense. If only because he should have been PM today, goddamnit.

I find it frustrating that whenever newspapers talk about the NDP, they're "opposition MPs". Whenever a Liberal opens his mouth, they make sure to identify him by party and name. How are you supposed to build up brand when the media pretends your party doesn't exist?

CRTC actually does something useful for a change.The CRTC posted:The CRTC’s Wireless Code comes into effect on 2 December 2013. The Wireless Code establishes basic rights for all wireless consumers and puts new requirements on service providers. The Wireless Code significantly limits cancellation fees and requires your service provider to unlock phones, to offer a trial period for wireless contracts, and to set default caps on data charges to help you avoid bill shock. Is this the end of three-year contracts? How will the telcos survive? Why does the CRTC hate job creators

The Russian Vodkas with little to no marketing end up cheaper and are usually the best. And I was exposed to 40 Creek a couple weeks ago. Fantastic whiskey.

To make this topic related I find rum the best drink with anything, especially when debates are aired. I've been desperately trying to get my hands on Ron Zacapa Centenario 23 yr old rum out here in Alberta but so far I have for nothing here in Lethbridge. I can't really justify going to up Calgary just for booze though so it must remain ever elusive.
