Democracy a la Liberal

Affirmative Autocracy

When women can't win nomination the old fashioned way, enter the Liberal sugar-daddy;

Liberal Leader Stephane Dion is prepared to take “extraordinary measures” to boost the ranks of women candidates in the next election, including barring men from seeking nominations in some ridings.

During last year’s leadership race, Dion promised that under his watch at least a third of the party’s candidates in the next election would be women.

But campaign organizers have concluded that the ambitious goal will be impossible to reach without some intervention to secure nominations for female candidates.


This guy is just a gift that keeps on giving...
