"What is a feminist foreign agenda and what does it have to do with economics," you ask? () Good question. According to thestar.com (PJMedia)Below follows what, in my opinion, is the most perfect description of Trudeau to date as written by senior writer Peter Stockland over at Convivium:"Ottawa is pledging an additional $2.3 billion over five years for foreign aid with most of the funding earmarked to support the Liberals' recently announced "feminist" international assistance efforts, aid that is focused on helping women and children. It prompted Bono, the lead singer of U2 and co-founder of The ONE Campaign to enthuse: "Oh Canada! Prime Minister Trudeau's budget --and the smart, women-centered policy that guides it --is leadership in action.""As pointed out by thestar.com, "What's not in the budget, once again, is any timeline to balance the books, nor any specific fund to backstop Canadian industries, workers or government revenues in case North American free trade talks collapse."
"All sane people realize that Trudeau is simply pandering to feminists. However, as has been frequently pointed out, and a fact that causes progressives to stick their fingers in their ears and shout "misogynist," the myth of the gender pay gap has been debunked. And debunked again. Debunked quite frequently, in fact. Trudeau is tanking the economic health of his country in order to pay homage to a myth and to keep his progressive pals happy."Trouble is, the main problem for we Canucks is that unless Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer can get his party's act together--meaning stop just complaining like so many of the rest of us--and do something, like stop running from Liberal charges that they're not politically correct enough, we're all stuck with Last- Man-Standing-as-a-Feminist Justin Trudeau's re-election next year.
