If you’ve ever wondered precisely what Canadians have deemed themselves to be helpless and want an endless stream of government programs to assist them in every facet of their lives, may I present “Victoria”:

This screenshot was taken yesterday on CKNW’s Facebook page. Her words could have come from The Onion or SNL, but indeed they came directly from her very own “progressive” mind. This woman is not a young kid. Just imagine the damage she has done by imparting her “wisdom” onto all the youth around her.
For those interested in the cyber equivalent of banging their head against the wall, here’s her Twitter page. She clearly deserves a gold medal for mindless drivel.

Sheer unadulterated awesome!
To “The Phantom”, it would be easier to take your post seriously if you didn’t hide behind a fake name while posting and blogging.
Thank you for taking the time to post. I hope you enjoy a great weekend.
Victoria, since you’re reading this thread, let me ask you: Why do you think Phantom might be posting under a fake name? For the same matter, why do you think I am? Is it because he’s frightened you’ll come and beat him up? Am I?
Right on Mamba!! She’s like the frickin’ Hydra, cut off one gawd awful hideous head and two more grow back to bite you on the @$$. These women never strike from the front. Always the solicitous smile, always the knife in the back. And they travel in numbers. You never see just one Harpy, always a flock.
Victoria. Your fake thankyous and false good wishes are nauseating. I don’t work for you, you can’t reach me or mine, and I see you for what you are.
So from all the people aching to tell you: shove it, Victoria.
And for God’s sake, -don’t- think about why a total stranger would tell nice, peaceful, concerned little you to shove it. It’ll only upset your flying unicorn farm.
Yep, passive-aggressive to the core with a fill-up of feel-good leftist, knee-jerk indoctrination (wow – look at all the hyphens) and a dollop of narcissistic personality disorder. It ain’t just the medical system that is full of these types. The legal system is slowing grinding to a halt as well. But the worst, and I mean the worst, are the men in the system that see, learn and strive to emulate Victoria’s example. You can find these men in small isolated communities in the north (because the choice positions down south were filled by females through equity hiring programs) and they work for government in positions that make them the big fish in a very small pond. They desperately trying to do all the right things to impress their supervisors so they can get back to the big smoke one day. In the process they create a magnificent cluster ***k, destroying lives and local economies. And then, one magic day, when a woman down south decides to quite and stay at home with their children, they get promoted and leave their mess behind.
T.C. – I’m indulging my misogynist streak here, but in my experience academia is full of these guys. Boomer-generation academic men tend to be rather sexist, if not exactly macho (sexist and very left-wing; crazy old world, eh?), but the youngish (say, under 45) career academic guys I’ve observed tend to conform to a very particular personality type: Cold, unspontaneous, withdrawn, prissy. (These are often guys who can be quite likeable in other settings.) It is my belief that they act this way because their careers depend on sucking up to women, who dominate the softer Humanities and pseudo-science departments (I would guess that the hard sciences etc. are a whole different game). The sort of women who prosper in Anthropology departments hate energy, humour, spontanaity, individulism, vitality – i.e. all masculine traits, no matter whether they see them in men or women.
Into the 20th century men and boys in China used to voluntarily undergo castration in order to prosper in the Forbidden City, a job which involved serving the a)Emperor and b)his hundreds of wives and concubines. Yussayin’.

A deep voice and height over 5’6″ will get you fired in any hospital in the country. Unless you’re an orthopedic surgeon. Then they can’t get you fired unless you get caught with kiddie porn. They just do their best to make your life hell instead.
