| baka-san 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. |

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." |

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

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. Nexzus: Around these parts, she's called "Premier Photo-op" Suede head: Just GISd her... strange mix of "want" and "do not want" and "not sure if want". 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. |
