‘Apparently math is challenging’: questioning female politicians abilities in Canada, about anything....is sexist. I implore all Conservatives in Alberta...pls,pls don't vote for this freakshow next time around, she has a public history of this "female victimhood" behaviour.

Rempel... called Nenshi’s remarks condescending.

Because they were. He effectively called her a moron. She called him a sexist.

Politicians who play gender politics are the worst.

He deliberately insulted her...she thinks being a woman means every insult is "sexist".

I don't see a lot of moral high ground on either side, but I'd take the guy who went for an intellectual insult rather than playing the gender victim card.

He was being condescending. And she was playing the gender card. I think both mean well, but both come off looking a little bit opportunistic here.

problem is...there are no other, better choices. I weep for Albertans...they are screwed.

I would like to vote a dog into office next election. Dogs are awesome, they play fetch, they're so humble they'll drink out of the toilet, and they never say anything insanely stupid. I'm sick of human leaders, it's time for the real four-legged dogs to rise to power instead of the bitches we have now.

Yes she did use the Sexist card which is awful. It's like left labeling anyone with right wing views as a racist. In this circumstance she was in the right for sticking up for her constituents as a tax hike in the middle of a recession. But still, call the guy a prick and tell him to cut services, don't slander the guy a sexist. He's obviously not and now the point she was trying to make is lost in gender baiting he said/she said.

Raising taxes on small businesses is a terrible policy.

I prefer to call it "damseling shithead" behavior. Though I suppose the term would gain more traction if I used some word other than "shithead."

Bottom line though, it is the real-life damsel-in-distress trope, employed endlessly in a vicious cycle to achieve a status of social entitlement.

Right on.

White women: already the most entitled overall demographic of human beings on the face of the planet, yet unfortunately, frequently still complaining as if it were otherwise.

Nenshi was way out of line (and out of character, for what he likes to present as the "good" Muslim).

Economists aren't unusually good at math, but they do have to know some. I'm quite confident Rempel knew what she was talking about.
