Because it’s 2025.

They yell at you because you’re right, Erica

Trying to remember who pointed it out (possibly @daviddoel.bsky.social on the rational national?) but one of the other women-held positions is whip, which they noted is odd to have in a "temporary wartime cabinet" when parliament isn't sitting

😬 whoops, my turn doing erasure I guess:

it was actually Althia Raj on At Issue that pointed out the inclusion of the Chief Whip position (timestamped link for anyone interested) https://youtu.be/Xr4vVr4B0Ho?t=209

Feels tiring to be on the downswing of the 'last government liked human rights so we can't do that' trend for what feels like the fifth time in my life.

“We can’t do what the last government did so we can’t have human rights” is basically Carney’s direction

I felt your write-up was a tad alarmist, but seeing you sum it up the way you did above simply isn't something I can agree with. Unless you have a specific example of a right that's been removed by Carney?

I said direction

dubsaxtheboard.bsky.social•6 days ago

Sowing further anger and division over a possible "direction" 1 week into the job when faced with a possible invasion feels somewhat counterproductive.

I can come up with 3 examples. 3X make a pattern

If it was any other Party doing this all the people yelling at you for saying this would be nodding their heads in agreement.

It’s the times we’re in but they won’t last forever

I see women in key cabinet positions and that is more important.
