Heather Mallick is at it again, pointing out that Harper is no ladies man (hint:he doesn’t have a mustache), and that he is returning women to the 18th century. She truly fears for you ladies, as you can tell from the spit dripping off her keyboard as she hurriedly tries to warn you.
Ms. Mallick inexplicably clings to the minor nuances of Canadian policy, so much so she can’t see the forest for the trees when it comes to the status of women. It seems odd that someone so sophisticated; who is typically embarrassed of her hidebound homeland, should be so obsessed with the internationally renowned boredness of Canadian politics.
What is pathetic though is that she reads like she looses sleep at night because moderate conservatives are running the country. This could require medication if the electorate doesn’t come around to her thinking-which in 143 years hasn’t happened.
Predictably, she condemns conservatives and Harper, pushes all the panic buttons and trots out all the boogeymen (except she forgot Bush??). Of course she misses the point, women in Canada today are better off than they ever have been. Numbers in parliament or in caucus are not a reflection of the greater populous. Such measures are not informative considering the nature of politics and the difficulty finding good candidates male or female. But, if that’s the kind of score she likes to keep, why not mention the party the first female Prime Minister came from?
Where this charlatan goes wrong in her eagerness to sling mud at conservatives, is her failure to recognize meaningful outcomes. By most objective measures the status of women in Canada is better than ever before, amongst the best in the world and a model for others. This is not something to sniff at and certainly can not be credited to any one party. It should not be looked down upon to try and score cheap points.
Mallick recognizes (as Ignatieff set out the marker) much is also likely to be made over childcare in the next election battle. She attacks the government for lack of government childcare, although this was never a conservative cross to bare. She actually suggests electing Liberals to make sure childcare happens, ignoring that the stock Liberal promise is never accomplished. She smugly dismisses the $100 dollar a month subsidy taxpayers provide to help with childcare, yet has no problem suggesting turning your young children over to bureaucrats for indoctrination-without even considering the cost.
Luckily most people don’t consider Mallick a victim of society; and only a victim of self-loathing. I think I’ll leave it at that.
