Go.Leafs Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 I am a bit curious we do not see more women in leadership roles in Canada. Beverly McLachlin, Olivia Chow, Eve Adams, Carolyn Parrish and others are young, bright, and known to be resourceful, creative, and objective. Is there a reason there seems to be a gender barrier to the Canadian throne? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallc Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 I am a bit curious we do not see more women in leadership roles in Canada. Beverly McLachlin Is the Chief Justice of Canada, and First Deputy to the Governor General of Canada. Pretty big leadership role. The Canadian Head of State, QEII, is also female, I believe.

Shady Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Those are your examples of qualified women? I almost spit out my coffee when I saw Chow and Parrish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada_First Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 To me the gender isn't relevant. It's the ability to do the job that concerns me. Merit is key. I don't want a female to be PM just because she's a female. I want her to be PM cause she's the best person for the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
On Guard for Thee Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 She is getting a little long in the tooth now, but I'd have voted for Joni Mitchel as PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-1=e^ipi Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Marta Hall Findley would make a far superior PM than any of the current candidates, including May. But Justin Trudeau has nice hair and a fancy last name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, so on the other post where you said you are thinking about voting for him, you were just spouting bs, or is this the bs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, on balance, the Liberals have the best plan for Canada from what they've presented. I think, on balance, their leader...well, see above. I think I'd like Trudeau and Mulcair to switch places. I really considered voting NDP (and I'm still considering it) because of Mulcair. I'm considering voting Liberal in spite of Trudeau.

poochy Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Olivia Chow and Eve Adams? You torpedoed your argument before you got it out of drydock. Im sure there are plenty of very capable women, but not those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Huxley Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Elizabeth May is a very capable female candidate running for PM, which is why Harper and Mulcair have sought to sideline her from the debates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada_First Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 PM Harper is the most competent leader by far. The others will sell us down the river and disband the military. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beverly McLachlin, Olivia Chow, Eve Adams, Carolyn Parrish and others are young, bright, and known to be resourceful, creative, and objective. Is there a reason there seems to be a gender barrier to the Canadian throne? I have no doubt there are qualified women out there that would do a great job in the leadership role,but certainly not any of the one's you have listed. The Conservatives have had a female leader as have the NDP.No female Liberal leader yet.

Justin Trudeau is just a figurehead for the Liberal Party,the real leader is Gerald Butts.I have no doubt he fully supports the recent Leap Manifesto too.
