CBC is talking about the ratio of men to women in the cabinet: 13 men to 11 women
Do people really care about it being exactly 50/50? Thats only 1 man more than 50/50, seems kind of silly to get worked up about to me.
I’m certainly not fussed over a disparity of few seats; I do get fussed when it’s a blatant sausage fest - there’s more than few capable women in Parliament to choose from, and the incompetent women aren’t more incompetent than their incompetent male peers, so when it’s nothing but men named to cabinet positions except a few token women in appropriately “feminine” roles, I do get suspicious about their overall feelings on women in general.
Yeah, as long as it’s like 40+ plus I’m fine either way
Exact 50/50 is nice but to get it you have to make a bunch more trade off decisions.
50/50 is so Trudeau.
