Boy, she sure doesn't know her history. The first female mayor of Winnipeg was elected in 1992; before that it was all men. When the city was first established back in the 1870s it was assumed all politicians would be male. It was a really woke thing even to think women could hold office.

In 1916, Manitoba became the first province in Canada to allow women to vote, under a Liberal government. Canada as a whole followed in 1918, with limited suffrage under a Unionist government.

And, of course, it’s a really woke idea that we should even be able to choose our leaders. Is it not the natural order of things that a man proclaims himself king, then appoints other men as satraps and governors over the people?

Yeah, Jenny, were it not for those bloody “woke mobs” and “poli-sci pundits” you’d be in your proper place: barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen.
