I’m watching the the swearing in of the new government of Canada. I now know the sign for applause!

Gender parity is happening!

This is Canada, so everything is said twice. I wish they wouldn’t give a translation; I only need to hear it once in English and would like to hear the French.

19 women and 20 men.

My tv is cutting off the top of Trudeau’s head, and for the first time I’m noticing how much he looks like his father.

Sounds like progress.

mimi : Unfortunately women don’t necessarily do a better job than the men, but the optics are better.

Yes and yes.
