Canada cannot be compared to the Mid East, or China, or Russia.

I’m not parroting the MSM heartbeat talking points. They are my own.

How does a woman CIC handle countries that consider women property? I need to know.

Today, the only two countries, which never had a female member of government in at least a sub-ministerial position, are Monaco and Saudi Arabia. The Vatican has got one Assistant Vice-Minister. In 1999 Sweden became the first country to have more female ministers than male. 11 women and 9 men, in 2007 the Finish government had 60% women.

Current female heads of state and government
There are 192 members of the United Nations and 2 independent states outside, a few self-declared de-facto independent states and many self-ruling depencies. 21 have got female leaders at the moment.

Of the monarchies, there are reigning Queens in 3 countries: Denmark, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom - and the latter is represented by female Governor Generals in Antigua and Barbuda, Canada and Saint Lucia, who function as their countries’ de-facto Heads of State.

The 7 female Presidents are in Argentina, Chile, Finland, India, Ireland, Liberia and The Philippines.

At the moment there are 8 woman Prime Ministers; in Germany, Haiti, New Zealand, Moldova, Mozambique, The Netherlands Antilles, Ukraine and The Åland Islands.

“How does a woman CIC handle countries that consider women property? I need to know.”

From the media scrutiny of Sarah lately, you could be describing the USA.
