Has anyone bothered to ask why McKenna is retiring from politics before moving on?
Could it be she’s fed up with partisan attacks from both sides? Brutal vicious verbal attacks and threats that puts her life and the lives of her children at risk?
And how media basically ignores the risks that female politicians endure. More or less providing tacit approval for partisan hacks who relentlessly attack female politicians with impunity.
Kinda like this article that is really about Mark Carney and not McKenna’s unfortunate decision to take herself out of some crosshairs.
Misogyny is built into the political system.
How about we stop perpetuating misogyny and ignoring it’s existence?
Or is that too much to ask?

Her accomplishment of a meaningful climate plan for Canada. And the Supreme Court of Canada precedent and law of the land that pollution comes at a price.
Her acknowledgment of the key strategic relationships she has honed during her time as a politician. Wherever she lands, she brings those voices with her.
Thanks Althia for propagating disinformation. @althiaraj
Rather than questioning McKenna as to her rationale, like a REAL JOURNALIST, you spin some conspiracy theory that there is a problem performing her job due to PMJT.
It’s bad enough that you provide unbalanced and partisan opinions on CBC, but you’ve crossed a line with this BS.
The fact remains PMJT & LPC have done more than any Canadian federal govt to address climate change in a hostile and existentially threatening political environment.
No thanks to CPC or NDP who have continuously provided diametrically opposed rhetoric and obstruction of legislation and policy.
McKenna has been ruthlessly attacked by both left and right demagoguery and her life has been threatened several times.
I’ve saved and reorganized my finances to purchase a new house. I just need my mortgage approved. My rental/home office is too small & doesn’t suit my needs.
Then my rental burns down. But I haven’t yet received my mortgage approval.
Or look after my immediate need for income, shelter, food & clothing for myself & my family?
NDP says buy the house.
Those with practical skills, logic and rational reasoning look after immediate needs and put house purchase off for another day.
I will buy a new house.
But I’m not going to leave my children and spouse to live in the neighbourhood park until I get secure my income and have my mortgage approved based on that income.
But NDP continues to use faulty logic by lamenting pharmacare, in the middle of a once in a century pandemic.
