Views from the Beltline: The cats have been herded
Perhaps the best example of the expression “like trying to herd cats” in Canadian politics is attempting to get all the premiers to agree with the federal government. On the other hand, when it comes to collectively disagreeing with the feds, they herd willingly and easily. So full credit to

One major media outlet has the courage to tackle the issue of males who ‘identify as women’ being allowed to go to female prison. This of course is complete horseshite and a clear and present danger to the female prison population. Imagine being locked up with a rapist and not
