Trudeau says Kamala Harris's election loss was a setback for women's progress
CBC News ^ | Dec. 11, 2024 | John Paul Tasker

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday that Kamala Harris's loss in the U.S. presidential election was a setback for women's progress — and cited several recent incidents that he said suggest women's rights are under attack by "regressive" and "reactionary" political forces.

In an address to an Ottawa gala for Equal Voice, an organization that works to get more women elected to public office, Trudeau said politicians who are hostile to women's rights — particularly a woman's right to choose abortion — are "winning too often, unfortunately." He said feminists like himself have to be "lucid" about the challenges ahead.

"We were supposed to be on a steady, if difficult, march towards progress. And yet, just a few weeks ago, the United States voted for a second time to not elect its first woman president," Trudeau said, adding that "women's rights and women's progress" are "under attack."

"And I want you to know that I am and always will be a proud feminist," he said. "You will always have an ally in me and my government."

When they become the 51st State, we will put a stop to the Canucks murdering kids in the womb and people when they get old.

How many female Prime Minsters has Canada had?

When the US elects a female president, odds are she'll be a Republican.

Define “womens progress” Trudeau.

You have a SCOTUS judge that cannot define a woman.

The nation is happy now and you know it.

We’ve had one (other than the little girl we’ve got now), but she wasn’t in office long.

Allowing her to be vice president was a setback for women.

What is this obsession with having a female president? It would just basically be a set of tits saying the same old things to us.

Does anyone think they have new ideas? With vanishingly few exceptions, no female world leader has been anything more than adequate.

If the women shes talking about are whores that make blowjobs a fundamental part of their career advancement, then she’s 100% right.

She didn’t set women’s progress back at all. All she did was confirm that someone, male or female, not qualified for a job usually fails.

It would have to be somebody like Tulsi Gabbard.

Anyway, not somebody like Nikki Haley. She's part of the Deep State.
