Summary
The University of Calgary wants to hire 45 new professors over the next three years, but they must all be members of what the university calls equity-deserving groups. It sounds like something that would be going on in some super-woke campus near Martha's Vineyard, but it's in Canada, in Calgary. Welcome to Canada's world of unequal opportunity.

By now, it should be out there that the University of Calgary has implemented a hiring policy
00:00:06.060
based not on merit, but on racial discrimination.
00:00:11.620
U of C wants to hire 45 new professors over the next three years.
00:00:16.620
Whatever else they bring to the job, they must all be members of what the university calls
00:00:32.060
A business teaching opportunity open only to qualified women in the faculty of nursing.
00:00:37.900
They want a director of indigenous initiatives who must be, guess what, a qualified indigenous scholar
00:00:51.520

Canada is seen all over the world as a city on a hill.
00:01:25.280
A place where people tell each other, it doesn't matter where you're from, it only matters where you're going.
00:01:33.180
And if you really want to be all you can be, come to Alberta, where nothing stops you living your dream.
00:01:39.880
Except, maybe, the dullards at what used to be Alberta's best university.

The personal one is that too many people aren't too brave.
00:01:59.340
The left-wing proposition pushed by radicals within and without the government of Canada
00:02:04.440
is that unless the ethnic makeup of any particular profession reflects the country's overall ethnic composition,
00:02:14.940
Therefore, to fight racism, you need to go out and find people to restore the balance.
00:02:19.580
However, there are all sorts of reasons why people will choose one profession and avoid another.
00:02:28.260
If you come from countries where the police are oppressive,
00:02:32.540
you may not see it as an honor to serve and protect.

Anybody who's old enough to be on the University of Calvary board or to be in senior administration there knows that.
00:02:55.980
They were raised in a culture that had already rejected racial discrimination in hiring
00:03:01.360
and instead, as a young person, would have immediately and with deep conviction
00:03:06.560
argued that if there was a job open, it should go to the best man or woman, regardless of skin color.
00:03:14.820
So they know that what they're doing is rubbish.
00:03:18.660
And they would also have known, in those days, Martin Luther King had a dream and they shared it.
00:03:37.260
Just fear of being cancelled for not having the right opinions.
00:03:42.660
Because that's what happens in academia these days if you have a mind of your own.
00:03:48.060
Remember, none of this is designed to help specific people who have been unfairly treated.

The second reason this is happening, the government reason, is that recent federal research grant programs mandate diversity in research grant applications.
00:04:35.240
That is, if you want money from Ottawa, and that's where almost all the big research grants come from,
00:04:42.500
then you have to adopt and enforce federal diversity policies.
00:04:49.320
I've spoken before on these shows about how the federal liberals use taxpayer funds to mold public opinion.
00:04:56.980
They give money to people who will say what they want them to say and cut off people they don't like.
00:05:06.720
If the U of C or any other Alberta university publicly refuses to use such diversity,

00:05:31.380
When people will call you racist for objecting to race-based hiring, which they will,
00:05:41.540
If the government of Alberta is going to go to war with Ottawa,
00:05:48.040
But first, let's give the U of C board a spine injection.

And if we must, pass out some research grants of our own among their faculty.
