As I warned previously, Flipper, the Liberal "leader" has begun subverting democracy and appointing candidates solely on the basis of gender, namely female candidates only. How many such appointments there'll be remains to be seen.
The problem with this is that doing so denies male Liberal Party members even the opportunity to throw their hat into the ring for a nomination vote. This is discrimination on the basis of gender, which is explicitly forbidden by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, ironically brought in by the Liberals themselves, who tend to sanctimoniously preach about it, sometimes incredibly claiming it says things it doesn't.
But what does Flipper care? He doesn't. Politics and getting more womens' votes are more important than democracy and gender equality. What do Liberals, including special, precious little Martha herself, the "chosen one" think? Oh, they're fine with it. They really don't mean anything when referring to the Charter or to equality of anyone or any group. They only care about power! Of course, Martha is fine with it, as now she won't have to go through the hassle of having to justify herself to her Liberal constituents as worthy of nomination. This isn't good for her; no trial by democracy. This isn't good for womens' equality, as it creates the false, unhelpful optic of women being unable to take care of themselves and need to be given preference, thus denying men their rights, making them feel unvalued.
Then again, what do we expect from the cynical, power-mad, money-loving, extremist-harboring, soft-on-crime, crooked, corrupt, cavalierly inept, terrorist-appeasing-and-fraternizing Liberals?
Don't vote Liberal. They don't care about us. Just about themselves... and money. Our money; they want it.
