Day Without A Woman

At Daisy Group, on Wednesday, we are going to be participating in the Day Without A Woman, as urged by the Women’s March.  The women in our firm will therefore decide whether they want to be at work or not.

If you are interested in learning more, information is here:

In the same spirit of love and liberation that inspired the Women’s March, we join together in making March 8th A Day Without a Woman, recognizing the enormous value that women of all backgrounds add to our socio-economic system–while receiving lower wages and experiencing greater inequities, vulnerability to discrimination, sexual harassment, and job insecurity. We recognize that trans and gender nonconforming people face heightened levels of discrimination, social oppression and political targeting. We believe in gender justice.

Anyone, anywhere, can join by making March 8th A Day Without a Woman, in one or all of the following ways:


Fully-clothed Warren on shirtless Justin

In which I provide a quote that is frankly incoherent:

Political Consultant Warren Kinsella says although the Prime Minister may have had nothing to do with the images surfacing, when it comes to image, the PM is smarter than you may think.

“I think this guy is a genius about how to use his image. Uses his image in a way that advances the country. Some of us here at Daisy Group worked on Hilary Clinton’s campaign and we heard it over and over again. Justin Trudeau is a hunk and why don’t you send him down here, to help us out. It was funny, but embarrassing because you want your prime minister taken seriously”.

If you can make any sense of that, whatsoever, feel free to drop me a line. Story link here.


LOCK HIM UP

Oh look, the Klansman-pal is in a spot of trouble:

Then-Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) spoke twice last year with Russia’s ambassador to the United States, Justice Department officials said, encounters he did not disclose when asked about possible contacts between members of President Trump’s campaign and representatives of Moscow during Sessions’s confirmation hearing to become attorney general.

And he spoke at those confirmation hearings under oath. Based on the early evidence, he perjured himself, beyond a reasonable doubt. 

Donald Trump and his cabal are worse than crooks. They’re indisputably traitors, as well.

Hydro rate cut: personally, I’ll take it

Huge scoop from the Star:

Premier Kathleen Wynne will slash electricity rates by 25 per cent this year, the Star has learned.

In a dramatic move to be finalized at cabinet Wednesday, Wynne’s government is poised to unveil sweeping measures to rein in the soaring hydro bills that currently have the Liberals’ popularity plummeting.

Sources say the massive reduction in rates will come mostly by “smoothing out” the financing costs of electricity generation contracts over longer periods.

It’s the equivalent of refinancing a mortgage to enjoy lower payments over a longer time on nuclear reactors, natural gas-fired power plants, and wind turbines.

Wynne’s office refused to confirm details of the 25 per cent solution Tuesday night.

What thinkest thou, O wk.com readers? That’s a big cut. Will it help their political fortunes? Make ’em worse? Make no difference?

Comment away!
