Most right-wing province in Canada is first to appoint a Muslim Lieutenant-Governor
Most right-wing province in Canada is first to appoint a Muslim Lieutenant-Governor

For folks who live in places that don't practice separation of "head of government" and "head of state", the Lieutenant-Governor is the head of state of a Canadian province - the person who is the "face" of the province during ceremonial and diplomatic events, and who has the authority to sign bills into law and swear in new governments. (The Governor-General is the head of state in Canada, unless Her Majesty chooses to exercise this power.)

Alberta - the province that's the farthest to the right in Canada - just appointed a Muslim lieutenant-governor. A female Muslim lieutenant-governor.

So, there's where the goalpost is - if you won't accept a Muslim in high office, you're farther to the right than the farthest-to-the-right government in Canada is.

Rob, likewise, if you won't accept a woman in high office, you are farther to the right than the farthest to the right government in Canada.

We have names for people like that here in the USA.  Misogynists and Incels.
