@JEmphatically my mom had her own credi card as a single woman in 1970 because she worked for the department store and the store issued them to all employees (Single non-employee women couldn’t get one of course! That would be silly!).
When she married they issued a card to my dad without her permission, and changed the name on her card to “Mrs. [His-first-name] [His-last-nane]”. She was completely erased.

@JEmphatically specifically a girl with short hair. Because that doesn’t fit the gender construct of “femininity”. Like, pixie cuts haven’t been popular for a hundred years* or anything 🤬🤬🤬
*literally, since the 1920’s!
@JEmphatically he has been banned, and the RCMP are investigating it as a hate crime. I hope something comes of it. But he’s already claiming he “didn’t yell”. Apparently he’s been convicted of harassment on another occasion but seems not to have learned his lesson.
@ned I guess what I meant was that if any of the others were ministers they would have behaved just as badly, and that would have been known. They are complicit in the issues the party has and aren’t any better than the ministers who were in the spotlight, they just didn’t have the opportunity to show it as clearly.
@Chris_MS spendthrifts, every one of them.
@ned I saw an opinion that they got voted out *because* they were recognisable. That if the less publicly vocal ones were as well known they would have been too… and I wonder if that isn’t true
@Chris_MS she basically implied that when she announced it.
"I'm going to put together an Edmonton council of some of the candidates who I know are going to want to run again, there are a couple of fantastic candidates, many, in fact, in Edmonton," Smith said.”
Repeatedly referring to them as Candidates implies she’s just funding them until they can get back into office (imo).
@Grootinside @bbcworld agreed. One of my clients was an 86yo with an 18yo daughter when I met him. His (younger) wife had already passed. And within a few years, while at university, his daughter had to help him move into a home and then deal with his own passing. I felt so bad for her it was so unfair.
