Outside my office this week, someone was shouting xenophobic comments about how Asian women didn’t belong in government. I am grateful for the community support our office received but I want to take a moment to denounce this kind of racism and harassment.

In the face of a public health issue, I find this headline very troublesome and disappointing, as it only amplifies misconceptions. Public health issues transcend boundaries. We must stand united, and condemn efforts that sow misconceptions!

This is what we mean when we say women can uphold the patriarchy too. It happens when they believe that if they do, they’ll make it through the crack in the glass door, instead of breaking open the whole ceiling for everyone else.
Don’t fall for it.
I’m not going to editorialize this.
Rather, I’d like to hear from women on how they feel about this clip.
I’m sharing because a woman reached out to me and asked me to do so (her email in below tweet).

These kinds of comment are what female politicians—and women in the workforce in general—have to deal with on a daily basis. Not only can it be harmful in dissuading women from being at these tables, but it also distracts from what’s actually important—the policies and the issues

Andrew Wilkinson’s economic plan won't work for the 99%. Basic needs like rent, groceries, & car insurance are already exempt from PST.
It *would* save a multimillionaire $70k on a $1M yacht. Wilkinson also supports $3B in tax breaks for the rich.
Where would that come from?1/2
People need to get better care, faster. BC Liberal tax breaks for the wealthiest mean fewer resources for hospitals and longer wait times for people. It will only help people at the top. Those are the wrong priorities.
