This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Women don’t have to work directly in these industries to benefit from them. Female business owners need a functional supply chain, mothers and care workers need medicine and food on time, and everyone needs functional infrastructure and affordable energy. Finally, even if an industry employs primarily men, those men often have wives and households who benefit from their work.
Despite the underlying good intentions of gender equality, the meticulous identity accounting behind the federal budget adds a reputational cost to investing in things that benefit all Canadians. If Freeland focuses on spending on infrastructure, defence and construction, she risks being accused of tabling a gender-unbalanced budget.
Similarly, government can fund training for women in male-dominated industries such as heavy trades. Thein the trades: they grant a $5,000 subsidy for first-year apprentice men who are white, straight, able-bodied, and are not immigrants. The subsidy doubles to $10,000 for apprentices who are immigrants, visible minorities, women, disabled persons or sexual and gender minorities. These discriminatory wage subsidies are acceptable because the goal is to diversity the workforce.
Finally, to balance all the spending on construction and defence, the feds can spend more on work that primarily benefit women.
GROCERY REBATE from 'no so' Freeland's budget. 11 Million Canadians receiving rebate Sounds like relief for those who are struggling right? BUT WAIT... rebate going out to 11 MILLION CANADIANS... in a population of 36 Million don't you think we have a MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM HERE?
Budget?
'Finally, even if an industry employs primarily men, those men often have wives and households who benefit from their work. Freeland would be better off focusing on households as a whole, instead of dividing Canadians into male and female factions.'- Keep Women dependent on men
Guaranteed to anger conservatives I love it. As it is said, when your enemy is hungry, feed them. For The Lord will reward you and you will be scooping hot coals on them. Hungry for anger and hatred? Well there you go you fn nazis!! Get your fill!!
The budget will balance itself.
There might be something in there that's worth discussing, but the snark and the sleazy headline killed it for me.
Are we still in a Shecession?
Feminist, lol. The 🇺🇸 NP is more MAGA every day.
Oh am.sure they are spending more time figuring out lies to say then actually doing their job.
The paper that spews propaganda and has at least one criminal like Conrad Black writing articles !!!! Like anyone with any decency would believe or read your rag
Showing once again that Canada is a joke
Any funding for industry that is mostly males will be deemed racist.
Nor Freeland or Trudeau have any clue to prepare a proper budget.. to date they have never reached any budget goals… our debit is constantly rising year after year… Trudeau & liberal NDP party really believe that “ the budget will balance itself.. “🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not that you have any but shame on you for printing this article. Women have been excluded in every aspect of every budget since Canada began & you have a Conservative female telling us it’s unfair and phoney when we are finally recognized & respected by this Federal government!
PierrePoilievre already had a problem with Canadian women so this crap will help, I’m sure
Where would we be without the American National Post.
Pure postmedia propoganda ForeignPropoganda UseCriticalThinking
She is your typical ugly liberal…holy fuck. She fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down…
Post it note tripe
This National Post crap is unbelievable! What a rag!
When women rise, we all rise. What’s wrong with that?
you mean another budget that's kept canada running smoothly for 7 years now? Yeah numbers don't lie, the LPC keeps us afloat
*Screams without identifying a singular reason*
LindsayTedds tammyschirle would love your opinion.
Why do Conservatives HATE Women?
Wow… this is a disgusting headline.
Why have you allowed yourselves to become such a rag?
There is no place for misogynistic points of view in the news. This was a favourite newspaper of mine to read. I can't believe I read this headline.
Already starting the destruction even before the construction.
Now that's a bigot reference, Is the national loosing it.
“And the Budget WILL Balance Itself”! Doesn’t seem to have happened over the last 8 years!!
Good.
Is that not Sexist? and if it were for male's there would be an uprising. ? NO we are Canadians and go along with Trudeau.
Seems like no one commenting read the article. It's stating the Liberal government keeps taking heat for spending decisions into important departments seen by feminists as benefitting primarily men (infrastructure as one example). The call is to do away with this.
Female angry old man at the NP joins the boys in the misogyny sweepstakes.
GST up 2% and there more ...
Trudeau is a train wreck , massively corrupt and incompetent!!!!!
Post? You're propaganda.
Stephen Harper’s a traitor, and his act of brokering a deal that allowed Postmedia to be taken over by GOP interests continues to hammer that point home every time your garbage outlet spews another opinion. Postmedia isn’t fighting for our democracy, they’re destroying it.
Mista Speaker, let me be very clear!
Oh, the hubris of modern feminism. We discuss toxic-masculinity ad nauseam; however, we never focus on the very real existence of feminine toxicity. Specifically, feminine political psychopathology. Empathy alone is no substitute for sound logic and reasoning 🙏🏼
Are you saying if I identify as a woman I have a better chance of getting approval and funding for the small modular nuclear reactor I want to build? Well, doll me up in a little black dress!
Bashing the Liberal government more news worthy than the lame opposition
i hope Chrystia Freeland's face rots off
Federal public servants got $200M in bonuses last year despite frequently missed targets That brings total bonuses handed to federal workers during the COVID-19 pandemic to over half a billion dollars, paid out between the 2019–20 and 2021–22 fiscal years. Liberal Corruption
What once was the pride of CANADIAN news and respected nationally, is now a shadow of its past! Now, just a corporate owned CONservative propaganda machine producing a CONservative flyer daily! Unbiased reporting and journalistic integrity have disappeared replaced by hypocrites
I trust Fiancé Minister Freeland over the bitcon boy.
FreelandIsComplicit FreelandMustGo Vile, evil, woman!
Who voted for this 💩?
The proverbial straw! Seniors better get a livable income.
Liberal Tax Regime is taking the possibility of an Enjoyable Retirement away for all Canadians. Try to find money to save for retirement. With Tax Rates at 60% on good jobs, where do you find 10% to 18% for Retirement savings? Lower Tax Brackets? Not enough earnings! cdnpoli
They're going to scare away all the entrepreneurs if they don't watch it, and with it, their money. The proposed 58% tax isn't going to be received well.
Awww.. Sad it wouldn't be mysoginistic?
Phoney feminist bows there’s a catch phrase great journalism
Wtaf?
Why not just wait for the budget then give an opinion on it?
We call know Conservatives hate women and their rights.
This article is foreign interference
Oh look: our daily dose of Con propaganda.
'what is a woman'?
So analyzing the gender impacts of federal spending is wrong. Gotcha! Thanks for doing all of the heavy thinking for me!
They are getting raises so we don't have to.
Would you like some cheese with that whine?
452 billion. Let that sink in.
Translation: is angry that a woman is the Minister of Finance.
Another three years of this nonsense
Well to be expected from the NP - how else can we created division - let’s tell everyone that because a woman in charge that it is a feminist budget - fits the conservative profile of misogyny and PierrePoilievre
The job is killing her, eesh.
This foreign ownership of media is working out great ffs
More unsustainable spending? More unsupportable immigration? More barriers on the resource sectors that fueled Canada?
There should be 1 goal: Helping Canadians. It shouldn't matter if you're male, female, black, white, Indigenous, religious or atheist. If you were born here, you're a Canadian. Immigrated here? Canadian. Build a budget that helps CANADIANS. A rising tide raises all ships.
You gotta to give back to Trudeau's electors...
=🗑️
Now this poor excuse for a newspaper is attacking women. What is next?
American Newspaper National Post says females know nothing about budgets. Not like Crypto Pee Pee.
I wonder if zany socks will mention our trade issues with Biden after Freeland wasted four years 'negotiating' in the States 'for all Canadians'. What a bunch of pompous, arrogant amateurs!
Do you really think it is productive journalism labelling a budget..Really.. I am sure you could have used more effective words than those. Why would you choose to attack her personally.. its a budget.. get over yourself!
Sexist government.
another hit piece by US hedge fund owned National Post this is equal to foreign interference.
Sounds like they need to take a page out of their “oil & gas manual”. Have they started measuring “upstream feminism” and “downstream feminism”? LiberalsMustGo DUH TrudeauDestroyingCanada
Wow, calling a budget feminist? What makes a feminist anyway? I know the answer! Weak men.
Just more Justin woke politics that really only creates more division.
How far gone do you have to be to write an article about how the next budget will be 'feminist', as if including women is some kind of negative.
I can't wait for the day when adults are in charge again.
We get it, you’re trying to overthrow our currently elected government, one terrible opinion piece at a time. And you wonder why both sides can’t stand the current media climate.
