I see the political 'debate' as a separate issue though. There has been bits and pieces of good discussion/ideas posted here about what initiatives we might take to start to address carbon concerns, in the context of our country.
I would love to see more of that kind of discussion specifically in a politics thread.

And then this: What I am most interested in (in Trudeau's 'gamergate' 'stand') were his 'I am a feminist' comments. Maybe this needs it's own discussion thread too lol. The dictionary definition of feminism is "the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men." If that is the definition, aren't like 99% of us feminists? If I where to be asked if I was a feminist, I would respond by saying I absolutely strongly advocate political, economic and social equality. I don't think that's exactly what Trudeau (or a large portion of those who use the term feminist) mean.
What is it supposed to mean, now, to be a feminist?

So i rambled...
