Blogging Tory "the lotusland soapbox" deigns to lecture us on political gender equality:
Take THAT, Affirmative Action!
In spite of no quotas, the Conservatives elect more women candidates (and a higher percentage) than any other party.
As I said when Dion came out with the quota idea, it's about quality, not quantity.
Maybe it's just me, but when I hear the names Rona Ambrose, Cheryl Gallant, Helena Guergis and Bev Oda, "quality" isn't the first word that leaps to mind.
Yeah, I'm sure it's just me.

*sigh* Conservatives and math. The Conservatives didn't elect women at a higher percentage than any other party. It has the lowest percentage of women:
Bloc - 15 (30.0% of caucus)
Conservative - 23 (16.1% of caucus)
Liberal - 18 (23.7% of caucus)
NDP - 12 (32.4% of caucus)
I remember Conservatives saying this the last election about women as well.
It really is true that assertions grounded in evidence escape them.
LOL, they are willfully ignorant or liars. I also agree that their roster of female talent is seriously lacking.
