    The real problem with Justin Trudeau's gender parity in cabinet is that it doesn't address deeper causes of structural inequality.

        @HeerJeet isn't the problem the 50% ceiling? Why not a 40% quota for each gender for representation. Each can rise to 60% based on merit.

        @japnaamsingh @HeerJeet Except success on a biased system is a social construct. Those intellectually disenfranchised need representation.

        @HeerJeet I'm not sure I follow you. It's not meant to address deep causes. It's an intervention to address the outcome.

        @chris_cudmore Right but more serious cause of why women not in politics is structure of workplace & childcare demands, which need policies

        @HeerJeet He ran on 50% women in cabinet - now he is responsible for each mutation in evolution of gender & power in western civilization ?

        @HeerJeet which is why in Canada we refer to equity instead of affirmative action. Paging Hon. Rosalie Abella.

        @HeerJeet but it's symbolic, and sometimes that's good.

        @HeerJeet Are there conceivable cabinet choices that would address those deeper causes? Maybe they're better addressed otherwise?
