I think a women Superintendent would be good for the city at this time. Obviously our biggest municipal problem involves the plight of women in our downtown core, so maybe a women would have more empathy for those issues?

Why would a woman be better? I thought men had reached equality with women? Are the days of a man rising through the ranks to a D cup ceiling still around? Hiring selection by gender over quality, were supposed to be gone.

Equality has come so far. Too far in fact. If everyone is equal, why does a woman deserve specific mention? Discrimination is discrimination, no matter who is on the receiving end. Thumbs down.
