Sometimes a person has to do what a person doesn't really like to do, Leah. Urgent circumstances often alter abstract ideals and doctrinaire principles. Only perfectionists and fanatics won't compromise to some degree. But because it is never necessary for you to actually face potentially catastrophic political circumstances, you judge rigidly while facing nothing more intimidating than your keyboard. Words are cheap and easy, Leah.  

You rage, "Was it really necessary for our feminist Prime Minister to make such an utter mockery of women’s rights ...?" I truly don't think he did. But because nothing is ever quite good enough for you, you do. Yes, IF you had been Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, of course you would have played it differently. But you are NOT Prime Minister Trudeau, nor will you ever even get close to his Realpolitik. You'll remain forever in the realm of abstract principles, floating and bleating judgmentally in the rarefied fields of the hypothetical and the if-only.
