[LINK] On gender and Canadian governance

[rfmcdonald]

james_nicoll makes an interesting observation: "Since Confederation, Canada has had 96 years with a female head of state and 45 years with a male head of state. Although the men had 1/3rd the time to screw things up, the time spent under male heads of state was notable for two world wars and a great depression, events not suffered under the female heads of state."

Does this mean, he asks in his post's associated poll, that Canadians should prefer female heads of state whenever possible?
