A new labour department mandate requiring federally regulated private employers to provide workers with free sanitary napkins would cost about $11.6 million a year, by official estimate. Cabinet called it a basic right for Canadian women: “Government intervention is necessary.”
I absolutely cannot see any way this new “right” might be abused. No way, no how. /s
Stand by for more rights mandated by a morally bankrupt regime.
But what are “federally regulated private employers”? Ask google:
The businesses and industries covered by Part III include banks, air transportation, rail and road transportation that involves crossing provincial or international borders, marine transportation, pipelines crossing provincial borders, feed, flour and seed mills and grain elevators, telecommunications and broadcasting.
Grain elevators?? Is that you Kate?

You left out banks
Just put up some rusty old cabinet dispensing cheap, China made paper logs in the non binary bathrooms, that no gender in their right mind would ever put between their legs and voila!, the shop conforms to law real cheap, employees keep bringing their own serviettes and everybody’s happy.
Put up a sign: In order to do our part for a sustainable earth, all sanitary products are made from recycled sanitary products
Surely we must supply these ‘adults’ with a breakfast since from childhood the nanny state has wiped their asses.
To wipe said “asses” we may have to enter into a long term contract with the local Tent and Awning. Not to mention the (most likely male) driver of a BelAZ 75710.
…but forced seat-belts, helmets, airbags, and no-smoking zones, etc, are a good thing.
You aholes begged for it, now you’re getting it, good and hard.
Yes, yes we all begged for it, none protested it, just you. Also nobody said that past nanny interventions will lead to this. Again only you have foreseen it.
Just admit it. You daydream of chewing on Freeland’s used tampons. Especially after she promises another few hundred million in
laundered kickbacks“aid” for the victoriouscoerced children and retireesbrave young soldiers of THE Ukraine.Lol! You went where I thought no conservative site would dare to go… yet here we are.
I finally feel confident the rainbow warirors possibly, just possibly, might be defeated.
In other words, you may be a sonofabitch, but you’re our sonofabitch.
You’ve made me smile a good smile, and I shall sleep better tonight.
Few years back the women folk was complaining that companies and work places was keeping the thermostat a little low where the men seemed to be comfortable at wee lower temperatures and where the womans folk was complaining about thems being cold. Sorry ladies but you be high maintenance and bad for the environment.
Hmmm… $11.6 million? I think they better quadruple that.
Wait ’til they start disappearing by the caseload as they are used for the batting in quilts, said quilts being necessary because of the energy policies that make gas and electric spotty or unavailable.
“Hey, what’ll ya trade for this nice warm handmade cotton batting quilt? How about 4 cases of beans and a pound of bacon?”

Okay. I’ll admit to a limited imagination, but someone is going to come up with a use that has nothing to do with feminine hygiene. Oil filters, maybe? I dunno.
First aid. Had ’em in my kit for decades.
Had lots of them for veterinary emergencies. A wire cut horse can be messy.
“…spotty…”
I see what you did there.
Sanitary pads make great little mattresses for gerbils and hamsters.
Not to mention the piss-poor uncooperative attitudes of the female employees right around the time they need those taxpayer funded items.
It’s called “Position of the Moon Syndrome”!
The sharp point of the crescent moon sometimes positioned up her *ss other times up her tw*t.
Facepalm. You forgot to change your name back to Doug. Again. LOL. Talk about an attention span of a retarded amoeba.
Agreed. This idiot does nothing but snark. I vote for banishment. Cue big baby bawling.
Be careful there Lamb, any agreement with me tends to agitate the binary howler brigade.
Any you wonder why they are in such a panic to say Men have periods too!
A typically pithy and perfect Kate headline!
Drained Brain:
Scott Adams seems to disagree with Kate’s headline… Do you think Scott is channeling Greta here?

Remember when we had an outbreak of “toxic shock syndrome”?

You just KNOW these businesses will be sued to high heaven for providing the “wrong” kind of menstruation products. For the love of God!!! No ‘super absorbent’ pads or tampons!
You just know that the bean-counters will stock the dispensers with the cheapest, nastiest napkins that no one will want to use so the women will still be buying their own.
Re the statement that “government intervention is necessary” is the government saying that women are incapable of taking care of themselves?
This regime has gone through the last 7 years saying anyone who isn’t a heterosexual white male can’t take care of themselves without government interference.
$0.37 each

I used to work in a location that was 100% male, in a federally regulated environment, who had a dispenser in the private washroom.
What are the odds that I might get “free” jock itch medication?
How about shaving supplies for men?
Sweet. Lots of uses for tampons. Thx majestic overlords.
Also, women need free milwaukee m18 battery packs as well.
Are those the ones that will drive a Hitachi for 6+ hours?
The native guys up on James Bay use tampons when they goose hunt. They take a spade shovel and turn a mound of mud over and stick a tampon on the end. The blue geese they hunt have a dark body and a white head.
Voila, a decoy.
I guess this is called Trudy trying to buy of the Women of Canada! He wants their Love!
Meh.. Everything and then some on the far left shopping spree.. Surprised our? economy is terminal.. Im not..
