You know something is wrong when Trudeau sides with the Tories
No, this is actually pretty typical of the Liberals.
The Liberals will side with the Tories way more than they will the NDP. As much as these two parties like to pretend theyâre polar opposites, theyâre more alike than many would like to admit.

âTrudeau also voted for the Zero Tolerance for Barbaric Cultural Practices Act, a bill the Womenâs Legal Education and Action Fund warned âwill deepen institutional barriers to immigrant and racialized women reporting violence and will prevent them from accessing support and services.â It became law in 2015.â (x)
âA Liberal document leaked in June indicated the party wonât support the Gender Equity Act, a private memberâs bill introduced by NDP MP Kennedy Stewart that proposes to financially penalize parties with a 10 per cent or more split between male and female candidates. (The Conservatives ran 19 per cent women candidates, Liberals ran 31 per cent and NDP 43 percent in the 2015 election.) A slew of womenâs groups and female politicians, among them Anita Vandenbeld, Liberal MP and womenâs caucus chair, Liberal Sen. Mobina Jaffer and Green Leader Elizabeth May, support the bill, expected to be voted on this fall. In the House, Democratic Institutions Minister Maryam Monsef was dismissive: âThis specific initiative is not the best way forward,â she said. Making organizations report explicitly on gender balance has proven effective in achieving greater equity, Stewart tells Macleanâs, noting similar systems in France and Ireland have upped female candidates. At the current rate, he says, equal representation in the House wonât be achieved until 2075.â (x)
