🇨🇦 Ottawa’s EI machine punished mothers, then acted surprised

Eight years, six Quebec mothers, and a unanimous Federal Court of Appeal ruling to admit the obvious: Ottawa’s EI rules were built so rigidly they denied job-loss benefits to women laid off during or after maternity leave. The court struck down the discriminatory provisions, gave the feds 12 months to rewrite them, and exposed the usual liberal fraud of a state that lectures endlessly about feminism while nickel-and-diming actual mothers, as reported.

This is the Trudeau-era governing style in one neat package: slogans for women, bureaucracy against women, Charter litigation to clean up the mess. Ottawa can always find money for consultants, DEI bureaucrats, and the latest globalist vanity scheme, but when Canadian mothers lose their jobs, suddenly the system discovers technicalities about insurable hours and 50-week caps. A country serious about its future would protect family formation and citizens first, not force mothers into financial precarity while the regime congratulates itself for being progressive.
