A U of C prof who has published profane tweets about “men and their horse—-,” and ridiculed male legislators as juvenile and pathetic has been given an award by the institution..The Faculty of Arts award for Public Engagement was last week given to Lindsay Tedds..“Deal with it,” tweeted Tedds, an associate professor at the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy, commenting on her earlier social media comments..“There is a small number of people dominated by men who don’t like how I communicate. Ironically the feeling is mutual. I’ve learned that with such people, women like me can’t win. I am confident, I am opinionated. I am me. Deal with it.”.Blacklock’s Reporter, in a story in March, said the federal Finance Department hired Tedd as a feminist advisor..Tedds wrote in a Twitter post last December 17: “Day. A university campus. A zoom meeting. Dude says something stupid. Me: calls dude out for stupid statement. Dude: ‘Well, that is your opinion.’ Me: who the f—k else’s opinion would it be? Seriously, (what the f—k). Is this dude for ‘I know you are but what am I?’”.Tedds on February 23 accused Opposition Leader Erin O’Toole of “frat boy behaviour,” and on February 17 described Ontario Premier Doug Ford as weak and pathetic..“It is interesting how weak men react to women who challenge them. Pathetic,” she wrote..On January 30, Tedds tweeted an image of a coffee mug stating: “A wise woman once said, ‘F–k this s—’ and she lived happily ever after.”.A separate ungrammatical January 26 tweet stated: “The School of Public Policy that acknowledges that women exist and who may be tired of men and their horse—- to give a f—k?”.In its award citation, the faculty said “as an economist Tedds has sought to make both academic contributions as well as an impact on Canadian policy making and policy implementation..“To this end she makes her research accessible to a broad audience providing new perspectives about current social issues through public engagement,” it said..Tedds has also appeared before a House of Commons Standing Committee on the GST tax credit and the lack of evidence regarding the effectiveness of various boutique tax credits..The Western Standard has reached out to Tedds for comment but hasn’t heard back yet..Dave Naylor is the News Editor of the Western Standard.dnaylor@westernstandardonline.com.Twitter.com/nobby7694
