[Canada] Canadian Politics Redux

[HVC]

I suppose we have reached the point of gender equality when a male politician is judged on his looks. 

.

They have been ever since TV. Kennedy didn't beat Nixon because of his vast experience and policy announcements. Jimmy Carter got a decisive jump in the polls in the 1976 election when he changed the side of his head his hair parted on. Murica!

this is why giving woman the vote was a bad idea

[Syt]

Is the role of Canadian PM played by Matthew McConaughey?

By the same argument, it's unlikely Lincoln would have won if people had TVs then.

My impression is that the government is changing from one form of minor, token support to another form of minor, token support. In both cases, the contribution wasn't serious, but was intended purely for domestic consumption.

We have 6 CF-18 in Iraq&Syria, 6 CF-18 in Ukraine.  We have 79 operational CF-18 total, but that number includes the CF-18B, the two seat training version.  If we keep the same proportion as in the total fleet, that means roughly 55 aircrafts available for combat missions.  If we have 12 in combatio missions, that means roughly 20% of our total capacity is used.

Given the number of russian incursions over our territory, we have to maintain some more over here, unlike the Yugoslavia missions.

John Bell was so dreamy he would have swept into power easily.

I think you missed the point.  I am not talking about voter appeal.  I am noting the fact that we are in the midst of significant internal conferences and a significant international threat and here Languish is talking about his hair.  When Kennedy went through the Cuban Missile crisis the masses were not discussing his appearance

Ah a subtle point. Very good. All we need now is fashion experts to carefully pick apart their suit choices.

'Head of State International Conference Fashion Disasters' will be popular click bait.

Oh, I forgot, we can only talk about serious things here. No wonder membership is shrinking.

It was just over a year ago during a press briefing, I think on ISIS / Syria, that Obama wore that tan suit and that wardrobe choice got more attention than the subject of his briefing.

Proof that Amerikkka is the real terrorist.

Then you really miss the point

Could have been worse...he could have worn a white suit.

So, the (female) Canadian foreign trade minister was on Bill Maher yesterday and now I gotta say that quotas in government are stupid. Because she was dumb as shit.

It did seem like the only reason she got her job was because they needed enough ministers with a clitoris...

She can't be that dumb, she worked in newspapers before this.
