'Men are attracted to smiles,' Alberta MLA advised girls on blog
Edmonton-Calder Conservative MLA Doug Elniski apologized late Monday afternoon for controversial comments that he posted on his blog, and insisted that he is not sexist.

Elniski posted the text of a speech on June 13 that he said he gives to junior high school students at Grade 9 graduation ceremonies.

Part of the posting included advice to girls saying, "Ladies, always smile when you walk into a room, there is nothing a man wants less than a woman scowling because he thinks he is going to get s--t for something and has no idea what."

It continues, "Men are attracted to smiles, so smile, don't give me that 'treated equal' stuff. If you want Equal, it comes in little packages at Starbucks."

2. Holy...fucking...shit
The crap that's coming out of this government over the past few months! An act that allows parents to choose whether or not their kids can learn about evolution (which will be amended in 2010 to allow them to prevent YOUR kids from learning about evolution), then some twit saying that to properly raise a child one parent (mother?) should forego a career and stay at home, and now this. Did the Social Credit Party slither out of its well-deserved grave? Is it 1950 again? Where do these fucking morons come from?

3. Well Reform was Social Credit revived,
so there are lots of SoCreds still around. I guess they've decided the time is right to slither back out into the light.
