text: A quick bit of investigation revealed that as of 2014, there's 29% more male lawyers out there working in Canada (53, 153) than there is female lawyers (40, 920), so unless the Minister's pool of candidates was a pretty egregious statistical anomaly, such that our SMALLER pool of female lawyers produced a LARGER candidate pool of qualified candidates for appointment, her arguments that she appoints on merit and merit alone are total baloney. Given the size of the two pools, the odds that her utterly flipped split of candidates is the result of random distribution of talent drops to near nil.
  
  I'm 100% comfortable accusing her of outright sexism in her appointment process.
