Every Canadian Premier, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, signed a joint statement against President Trump. Except Alberta's Danielle Smith. She refused to sign.

So many places to go after Danielle smith. Do we have to make her sex one of them? She is a horrible leader, a liar, traitorous, vacuous, purveyor of bullshit culture war, climate change denier, maga sycophant, incompetent shitforbrains, and worst of humanity
You can say a lot without mentioning her sex
Everywhere else in the world with the exception of prudish north america, “Cunt” is just a synonym for asshole; regardless of gender.
That may not be where the word started, but that’s where it currently is in modern usage.
Look, I don’t mean to antagonize you but you’re looking at it in a very American-centric (and quasi-chauvinistic) way.
In other countries the c-word doesn’t have the same connotation as in the US. You are assuming American culture, and its concepts, are universal. They’re not.
There’s nothing inherently wrong in the c-word and the n-word, but it’s the context where those words got to be used that made them so repugnant. Since the n-word was mostly a US thing, its taboo meaning passed over to all variants of English. The c-word though, was already used in other variants and didn’t have the same bad connotation it does in the US. So it kept being used in a different way.
Trying to force the American meaning on other English speakers comes at best as ignorant and, at worst, chauvinistic. I don’t think you have bad intentions since you clearly don’t understand how a word can have very different meanings in different cultures. But now you know.
I mean, it’s a Canadian sub talking about Canadian politicians. It may be different if we were talking about Aussie politics. I’ve been to Australia, lived in nz for a year, I’ve used the term with buddies pretty often.
It is different when you’re speaking about a woman in power (awful woman in power) and take all her horrid aspects and boil them down to a demeaning misogynist term. There are a million different insults that can be thrust upon her. Why does it have to be one that means vagina. Whether it’s been appropriated or not by other cultures, here in Canada it is misogynistic and is interpreted so by nearly every woman here
“Whether it’s been appropriated or not by other cultures”
Uh? Englishmen appropriated English culture now?
I assure you that I’m Canadian and I say Donald Trump is a miserable cunt all the time. Because he is.
Some people are cunts. Some cunts are men and some cunts are women. Both Pierre Pollievre and Danielle Smith are cunts. They’re miserable people that never say anything positive and seem to derive joy from fucking things up for everyone. They’re miserable cunts.
