"Under the first step, the federal cultural agency had announced that by 2019 half of the projects it produces would be directed by women and half of the money it spends on films would go to projects directed by women."

Hello, Justin Trudeau? I am okay with the federal group doing that, as long as the Feds plan in 2019 to also do the following:

1. Distribute, to only male nurses, one half of all dollars paid to all nurses in Canada, and
2. Distribute, to only male elementary school teachers, one half of all dollars paid to all elementary school teachers in Canada.

So please, Justin, go ahead with your Film Board's plan, just so long as you also cover the nurse and teacher situations.

However, if you choose NOT to do the nurse and teacher thing, well, in that case your Film Board plan amounts to an unfair and sexist and regressive abomination of justice, and you ought to be ashamed of your disgraceful and extremely unethical behavior in the area of gender matters in Canada.
