What do you know: a rational government decision? You don’t do what you’re paid to do, you’re fired!

On the closure of 75% of “Status of Women” offices in Canada:

But Liberal MP Maria Minna called the move “reprehensible.”

“Canadian women are still only earning 71 cents to every dollar earned by their male counterparts, more and more women are living in poverty, and we are still waiting for the government to create child-care spaces,” she said.

If this MP is right, then clearly the Status of Women Canada has squandered our public money over the last 20 years of their existence! If they have taken hundred of millions of our tax dollars to help the status of women in Canada, and they are STILL in the above situation and it is getting WORSE, then we MUST get rid of the SOW! Clearly they are having no effect, and we should spend the money in other ways that will accomplish something for women!

Of course, I am sure this MP doesn’t really mean what she says. Is she honestly trying to say that women are worse off in society today than ever before? Than 5 years ago? 10? 20? Somehow I think that will be a hard sell to the public.
