Well, my province now has a woman in the top job. Be interesting if that means anything in terms of our little community.

That makes three.

As far as I know there are now three female premiers. Interestingly, none of them have been elected to that position. Well I suppose I should say that they didn't *run* as a potential premier (seeing as we don't actually elect premiers directly). Not that this rambling means anything I just thought it was a unique fact.

I'm guessing you were talking about Alberta? I'd heard that Alison Redford was promoting very left-leaning policies (for a tory candidate) and bringing the Conservatives more in to the centre. I'm actually quite interested to see what she does with her time in office. As a student of Political Science this entire year has been fascinating to me.

Our provincial elections (Ontario) are today. I suppose if we see something more extreme than what happened on the federal level we might get a fourth female premier! I guess we'll know later on tonight.

A pity that we got Dalton rather than Andrea

But it beats having Tim Hudak

Could we borrow some of your politicians?

Ours down here are all spooky and crazy-talking...

I can't say it makes much of

I can't say it makes much of a difference. We have a female chancelor for 6 years now and the only thing she's really capable at is bullying away everyone who might be a political danger to her.
Female principle at its worst.
