Actually, I hope that Canadian women see themselves as much better than Lisa Raitt. Ms. Raitt has always struck me as weak and ineffectual, unlike most conservative women I have met, who have confidence and the drive to make society better. Ms. Raitt seems like a poor choice, given the caucus choices, but perhaps it's better to put her in a ceremonial position which can be discarded later, rather than an important technical position which can move into Cabinet in 2019.
