Let's take the measure of how we treat women in Canada with a little compare and contrast:Helena Guergis has a kanipshit at the Charlottetown airport. The media call for blood. She's unfit! They scream. Resign! They demand.John McCallum stumbles blind-drunk to an airport gate, creeping out everyone within ten feet of the man. The media giggle at the spectacle. Make him interem leader!

I would like to ask the question, which Tory Cabinet Minister aged 42 or younger do you think is the greatest asset to the party?

There were a lot of names that I could have included in the poll, but I decided to stick to the biggest names, Stephen Harper, Preston Manning, John Baird, Peter MacKay, and for some gender equality Helena Guergis rounds out the nominees. I think that Baird would be the most entertaining&
