Dοn’t сοnflаtе ‘Ԝοkе’ аnd ‘рrοg’, сhісkіе

{Sigh}:

Uh, whatever. But don’t conflate Woke with prog, or you diminish its accuracy and efficacy as a term.

Language matters. Or, at least, it used to.

What does Woke even mean? It’s like a codeword for any conservative grievance

And… Yep, that’s what it becomes.

Ms. Rοοd appears to be Canada’s answer to Meghan McCain, except without the famous dad. 😉

Just a big middle-aged blonde chickie.

Hmm (from five years ago):

Age: 40

Education: Honours bachelor degree in criminology and sociology from University of Windsor

Marital status: Single

Jobs: Political staffer for the Stephen Harper Conservative government; entrepreneur

ResidenceGrand Bend

A career female politician after being a staffer; still single at least five years back at age 40, bitching not about the government but about a corporation’s policies.

Interesting. Not who I’d want representing me.

    Not a “winnerette,” that’s for sure. Also no surprise that she’s single.

    What the Chinese call a “leftover woman.”

      Yeah.

      A shame. Coulda been a wife and mother. Instead, chose this.

    I think progressive could be used to describe policies like being pro-bike lane, pro-regulation, etc — policies that are debatable (I like bike lanes, not so much a fan of regulations), whereas ‘woke’ is obsessed with identity politics and destroying what’s left of western civilization and its frighteningly slim hold on reality.

      Exactly! So it’s important to draw distinctions, because they are meaningful.
