while Team Cat is gathered here...is this acceptable?

Incidentally, that’s what I sound like when I catch myself from swearing in front of my very-young half-siblings.

visit Alberta in particular and rural Canada generally if you’d like to find right-wing Christian conservatives, we’ve got lots.

thank you - hear, hear. ‘Defending’ his choices by justifying the women is offensive (and frankly, those women’s qualifications speak for themselves to anyone who, ahh, read anything about them). ‘It’s 2015’, indicating that the question is out of date and the answer obvious, is the feminist answer as well as the…

“How do we get that stuff here in the US?”

I would argue that it’s more feminist to NOT answer “because they’re qualified,” because it should be assumed that they are, otherwise he wouldn’t have appointed them.

I watched this morning’s proceedings as I was sat, wearing a poppy, in a waiting room between consultations (or whatever) and x-rays. All paid for by my government. While I’d rather not be injured, it was peak Canadian.

Hey! We’ve just been through 9 years of Harper hell. We paid for this to happen. I vote NDP myself, but I’m going to give Justin a chance... for 6 months.

Seriously, the dude’s name is Justin. It’s not fair!

Have 1/10th your population, go back in time to make Peace, Order and Good Government your founding values. But mostly the first one. It’s easier to take care of fewer people.

I didn’t even vote for the guy, but he and his “walking the talk” are growing on me... Cautious optimism is the emotion-du-jour ‘round these parts...

Two of the new cabinet ministers are also aboriginal :) we are happy right now. Almost anything would have been better than Harper but at this point I’m blown away.

Well. Con GRAT u FUCKING lations, then.

I’m tearing up a little. It’s such a huge fucking relief to feel some hope.

I have no idea. I’m just glad it happened. I’m a little misty-eyed reading this article—so many years of a xenophobic, anti-choice, homophobic, right wing fuckwad, I was starting to give up hope.

I’m so fucking jealous of Canadians sometimes. First you all get all the healthcare and now you get a feminist Prime Minister who walks the talk. >:-(

My favorite skater style was tight skinny jeans in various colors worn below your ass.

18 years ago, I put on a pair of JNCO jeans and a Smashing Pumpkins t-shirt and went to a punk show at my (rural CT) town’s local teen center. There I saw a boy, told him I was going to flirt with him and did for the rest of the night... and then, on and off (and mostly online) for the next decade or so before we…
