$25 million for tampons

In its infinite wisdom, er, make that ignorance, this government -- under the brilliant, er, make that pudden-headed, direction of washed up, ex-broadcaster Marci Ien, minister of the ludicrous Women and Gender Equality Department -- has introduced a 'Menstrual Equity Fund' to ensure all women have access to Tampax and other monthly necessities.

$25 million is apparently what is required to ensure gender diverse, (whatever that entails?  Women posing as men who don't want to be seen buying a sanitary pad?) underprivileged, poor, racially-challenged women can buy a pad or tampon if they can't afford one.  

OMG!  What have we all been doing up until now when "that time of the month" comes along?!?!  So now we have an entire department created to deal with periods and other "female" stuff.  If you don't think I am serious, look it up!  It was actually in 'The Globe and Mail' today -- complete with a helpful picture of what the 25 mill will buy:

While the world and this country are falling apart, Canada's contribution is to hand out free sanitary pads.  Just when I thought women in public office couldn't look any more inane or foolish, a minister of the Crown announces a program so ludicrous it stuns!  Is she going to replicate the follies of her colleagues Mélanie Joly and Anita Anand and rush around all over the world "convening" meetings of heads of government to encourage other countries to hand out free tampons?!

Now, I've seen it all.
