Canada

This is a reminder for whoever needs to hear this that DEI does not mean setting quotas on hiring by race. That is a myth.

Instead, it's making sure that people of all races and genders are informed about the job opportunity so they have a chance to apply too. The best talent is then hired.

Today, DEI is used as a dogwhistle by MAGA who hates seeing genders and races other than their in-group at their workplace.

Trump is already trying to extend anti-diversity mandates to French companies that supply the US government, and at some point soon it's going to hit Canadian companies. There's a very real chance that in certain cases, complying with his demands would violate Canadian human rights laws.

It's time for companies to start picking sides - will you comply with the laws of the country you're in, or will you voluntarily let Canada become the 51st state?

Disgusting. This is Canada, we strive for equity, cherish diversity and value inclusion.

Most companies have already chosen a side. Fuck the orange facist and the horse he rode in on.

That might be difficult. Almost all of our applicants now are recent immigrants. I'm not sure you could only hire white men even if you wanted to.
