Locomotive Jones is a bore.

Parental leave in Canada is through EI. You have to work 600 hours before you qualify and if memory serves you get 65% of your wage.

The cheapness of the clothing seals the deal, too. Buddy’s gotta learn to thrift. It would be a better use of his time than that shitty white supremacy thing he’s got going on now.

I expected to disagree with this 100%, and didn’t. I think she makes some very valid points about the weaknesses of choice feminism.
