World's lonely hearts disappointed to discover 'Women in Canada' is a government department

OTTAWA — Some Facebook users have been mistaking Canada’s Status of Women ministry for a dating service offering Canadian wives, according to the government.

Comments to the agency’s posts that propose marriage are regularly deleted by staff. Spokeswomen Léonie Roux told the Post generic examples of such responses include, but are not limited to, “Looking for wife in Canada” and “I want a wife, I want to give you a call.”

Part of the trouble is the account username, “Women in Canada.” While this accurately reflects the agency’s area of focus, Roux said, it causes some users to make false assumptions. “Many of these comments originate from users located outside of Canada,” she said.

Comments from a post this week about a conference on gender-based analysis included, “Happy women in Canada. I’d love to have a date with one,” “I want found women live in Canada,” “i love canada women” and “best countary canada. best womans.”

Government agencies shouldn’t be allowed to delete tweets or other communications. They are in the public record.

The guys writing these comments don’t realize they are only being read (and deleted) by angry dykes.

I think they really wanted to find all those hot Canadienne actresses.... Rachel McAdams, Evangeline Lilly, Kristin Kreuk, Elisha Cuthbert, Natasha Henstridge, et al.
