It is hard to keep up with Justin Trudeau's acrobatics in making his choices.

So, with the CBC board, Trudeau wants the CBC to employ “merit-based" appointments, that is, to not insist that half of members be women and half of members be men (the way he did with his Cabinet appointments).

And both of those are different from his new foreign aid plan, where the vast majority of money is to go to women and girls, not to males.

How does Trudeau reach his decisions? I mean, does he have a special dice he rolls on his desk, where one roll of the dice might reveal "make it 50% women" and another that says "make it 90 percent women" and another that says "make it merit-based"?
