1/ I probably will disagree with most of @AnnamiePaul's policy positions, but how could I know if her voice can't be heard? Her voice is worthy, and this type of treatment is indicative of how women who seek to upend the status quo are treated in politics. So, to you, Annamie...

2/ Rule one, do not be polite. They want you to be nice and polite to keep you complacent and keep the status quo alive. When change must be made, at all costs, avoid being polite. In you is a militant, angry, fearless and ruthless woman. Unleash her.
3/ They will hate this. They will never like you, and they will seek to marginalize you, but they will deal with you because they have to. This is a workable situation, because it is a situation you are in control of, not them.
4/ Protect yourself by surrounding yourself with people who care for you in your worst moments, who are courageous enough to challenge you from a place of love, and who put loyalty to your vision and the people you represent above party and stripe.
5/ Cultivate respect, fear and love and eschew likability. This means removing those who seek your destruction due to ego, jealousy, bigotry, incompetency, dogmatic adherence to the status quo or all of the above. Do not apologize for doing so.
6/ I hope we will meet on the political battlefield one day to clash on belief of policy for the betterment of our nation. I trust you will be able to reach inside yourself and do what must be done for you to get there. Across political stripe, Canada needs you to succeed.
