...and I haven't even seen a flying pig today!

Holy #$%! This badass feminist actually has some good news!

Canada might continue to maintain a dismal record of gender equity in government (at every level possible) but that isn't the case in Spain.

Spain's new cabinet consists of 9 womyn out of a total cabinet of 17. Do the math ladies and gents. That's more chicks than dudes!

Now usually when ladyfolk manage to even get into the Old Boys Club, they get files like Culture, Languages, Education, etcetera. They don't get nice heavy and politically important files like Defense, Trade, International relations and all that jazz. Well once again, the Spanish do it better!

They have more womyn than men, therefore surpassing gender parity plus they have a 7 month pregnant womyn serving as Defense Minister.

Oh and just when you thought feminists couldn't rejoice any harder? Their Prime Minister, who is a dude, calls himself a feminist.

*faints*

I'm moving to Spain.

The times, they are NOT a changin'

Sorry to let you down Bob Dylan but it appears to be business as usual in Ontario today. Instead of giving skeaze bag McGuinty the boot, Ontarians thought "Hey, let's give him more power instead!" giving the Liberals a majority government. And then if that weren't enough, they decided to vote against the MMP voting system, futhering the chances of same-old, same-old. Although I live in Ontario, I say they because I did not in fact, vote this way at all. As someone who not only lives in Ontario but in Dalton McGuinty's very riding, I had a lot to lose yesterday and lose I did.

Even beloved New Democrat MPP Will Murray didn't win a seat; although it was said he would and results showed that he almost won. But almost only counts for horseshoes and car accidents and politics are more of the train wreck variety.

And so today is a solemn day as I hang my head in sadness at the thought that I live in a province that is apparently in love with high tuition fees, measly benefits for the differently-abled and a pathetic record of dealing with gun violence, gender equality and poverty.

Maybe what I need to get through the next four years is less Bob Dylan and more Puff the Magic Dragon...
