A majority of members of British Columbia’s Legislative Assembly elected last week are women!

“a first for Canada. It will be the second time North America has had gender parity in a legislative house, Cuba being the first. And we will be the third jurisdiction in the Commonwealth, following Rwanda and New Zealand.

And a third of the women are also visible minorities, including four Indigenous women.”

Whatever your political stripe, it’s tough to not celebrate the tremendous progress this election has been for women’s representation.”

Did anyone catch Alexandria Pelosi on CBS Morning? She spoke about her parents and how they have been in politics their entire lives. She has a new documentary about their lives that comes out this week on HBO, “Pelosi in the House.”

Personally, I think Pelosi is a gifted leader. We are lucky to have her and her team staying in the background while, the progressive leaders step into their abilities. It’s a terrifying, exhausting and, somehow encouraging time to be witness (a tiny part of) this time in history.

“I’m there to do a job;
not keep a job, Speaker Pelosi.”

Thoughts from a rural no one.

New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern just met with Finnish PM Sanna Marin

Both are unusually young by World Leader standards & both are women

Some a**hole reporter asked ''are you two meeting because you're similar in age and got a lot of common stuff there?"

The takedown is swift & sure
