Yesterday thousands of Canadian women decided to leave the comfort of their feminist utopia and crossed the border into a newly minted foothold of fascism.

“In Canada we take it for granted that a woman will have access to all the healthcare she needs. But there are some awful corners of the world where this is not the case,” explained Sam Noonan, who drove through the night armed with nothing but a vagina-shaped hat so that her voice could be heard.

Others chartered buses or flew directly into the repressive country, where the government is in the midst of a takeover by an autocrat who assumed power despite losing the popular vote in the country’s recent tainted elections.

“We sometimes forget how lucky we are to live in a country where our leader doesn’t brag about sexual assault to some shitty TV host, for example,” said Amy Hearst, another Canadian who left her family and piled onto a bus with 40 women she had never met at 5 in the morning. The group marched in the capital city, just a few miles from the house of the tyrannical leader, holding a sign that read “Nasty Women of the North.”

Thankfully, the women have returned to Canada, and have already started fixing whatever got fucked up while they were away.
