Those Who Can't Laugh Are Lost By Rosslyn Smith
Amid the American media fabricated nonsense about their imagined Republican War on Women here comes some amusing political silliness from North of the border. Wildrose is a political party in the province of Alberta that is to the right of Canada's national Conservative Party. Its leader, Danielle Smith, seems to have a healthy sense of humor about what a graphic artist did to her image on the party's campaign bus.
Indeed one suspects those who have actually expressed righteous indignation about the bus probably wouldn't be caught dead voting for Danielle Smith.
"These stories continue to reinforce stereotypes about women... they tend to focus on women's' bodies instead of focusing on what women bring to the table in terms of their competencies," said Clare Beckton, executive director of Carleton University's Centre for Women in Politics and Public Leadership in Ottawa.
