Over decades, I have often mentored, hired and promoted women. I have also occasionally had to laterally move, demote or fire a woman.

Imagine my surprise today to discover that I am not a feminist.

Poilievre's office maintains tight control over what Conservative MPs say and do in public | CBC News Pierre Poilievre rules his caucus with iron discipline and control. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how the leader keeps members of Parliament in line.

This says more about the spineless sycophants in the CPC than it does about their disingenuous, divisive despot. What progress is Poilievre blocking in your area?

I love a good Oxford comma. The punctuation that most people should never use, because they don't understand it, is a semicolon. πŸ˜‰

Big fan of the Oxford comma here. Canadian Press discourages its use but I still slip it in, editing, when it is helpful for clarity.

I'm a political creature by nature and longtime profession. I'm simultaneously attracted to and repulsed by American politics. That's all over but the crying. Now, my gaze is on Pierre Poilievre federally and Doug Ford provincially. Not a pretty picture.
