He started the company when he was 16...

And that is EXACTLY why he called it that.

Richard Branson is what I think all Bond villains should be based on.

"I'm a world record holding billionaire knight that's been in space. How you doin'?" didn't work? Hell, I'm a hetero male and even my boxers dropped...

Read "the rich guy didn't kiss my ass while asking about doing business in my province, so I'm going to talk smack about him."

Considering the tail a guy that rich can get, she should be flattered he even noticed that she's a woman.

Until I looked at the wikipedia entry a few years ago, I always thought that he was supposed to be this guy:

So would I. Low. Like a Dan Hamhuis hip check against the boards. She'd look great upside-down.

Just GISd her... strange mix of "want" and "do not want" and "not sure if want".

He's not someone you want to do business with, nor do you want get involved in anything else.

/from personal experience while at PSU, he was a terror
//what he did to charities in the Philadelphia area is criminal

Around these parts, she's called "Premier Photo-op"

Seriously, I cannot recall one thing she has done as premier. Getting rid of the HST was the people's choice.

Okay, so she said this: FTA: "I just don't think it's very respectful. The thing is, lots of young women, I hope, want to run for politics."

And as usual, the trolls here got this as their takeaway:

FormlessOne: Read "the rich guy didn't kiss my ass while asking about doing business in my province, so I'm going to talk smack about him."

justtray: Someone please caption that with "Haters gonna hate."

Thank you.

Welcome to Fark, I guess... I mean, I expected some satire or jokes, maybe even some NSFW photoshops, but I didn't expect this ideologically driven misogyny. The Premier has a point about alienating women so that they refuse to participate in the decision making levels of politics.

/gonna hate!

You don't get to cherry-pick the quote to de-emphasize the business aspect and emphasize the "women's rights" aspect. The quote is:

"I just don't think it's very respectful. The thing is, lots of young women, I hope, want to run for politics. I think when you meet with the CEO of a billion-dollar company, who wants to do business with your province, you can get a little more respectful treatment than that."

She's attempting to make political hay out of a risque quip because she wants some form of leverage with the guy that's doing business in her province.

She's not Premier Photo-op because she's a woman, she's Premier Photo-op because she's a lame duck premier.
/Premier.
