Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) as a movement has accomplished its goal. It is time to put a fork in it at the federal government level.
Perhaps everywhere, but let’s stay with Ottawa.
“DEI – Code For Anti-White Racism”
The Lost Generation
For fifteen years I’ve scalped tickets to pay the bills. But in January 2016 I almost managed a real career. I was thirty-one, I’d been in Los Angeles for five years writing scripts. There had been minor successes, a couple of small projects optioned, and I’d recently started writing with my best friend. We were writing constantly, making each other better, building momentum.
Success felt close. Back then it always did.
We’d written a pilot script that a veteran showrunner had agreed, in a very theoretical, very Hollywood sort of way, to “come on” to. That project had fizzled, so we were surprised when an executive emailed us out of the blue to meet. The showrunner explained he’d submitted us for an upcoming writer’s room he was going to run—the exec had loved our pilot and wanted to hire us.
This was it, the moment our careers were supposed to take off. We’d put in our time—I’d been tutoring SATs and reselling tickets to make ends meet while I wrote—and five years seemed par for the course, based on the slightly older guys we knew who’d made it.
But of course, by 2016, we were already too late.
The Shitification of society continues apace.

Jamie Sarkonak: DEI funding exploded under Trudeau so much it can’t even be counted
In 2023, the Treasury Board of Canada’s program spending on diversity, equity and inclusion was roughly 100 times what it was in 2016. Public Safety Canada’s was about 40 times higher. The federal Crown prosecution service spent 20 times more.
These are some of the figures that were revealed in a House of Commons report tabled in response to a question by Conservative MP Vincent Ho. Back in October, he asked all federal departments to detail their DEI program spending, DEI-related jobs and DEI contracts, along with an explanation of how they evaluate DEI performance.
Ottawa has at minimum 577 federal diversity staffers dedicated to hating Whitey as departments report millions spent on DEI programs
The federal government assigned at least 577 employees to diversity, equity and inclusion programs last year, according to newly released records — though cabinet admitted the real number is higher because several major departments refused to report their staffing totals.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the figures were disclosed in an Inquiry Of Ministry prompted by Conservative MP Vincent Ho, who asked how many full-time equivalents were dedicated to DEI-related roles.

Tory MPs denounce DEI and ‘Liberal racism’ during Jamil Jivani event
OTTAWA — On a Tuesday night, on the eighth floor of a building bordering Ottawa’s Parliamentary Precinct, Conservative MP Jamil Jivani stood before a small crowd to denounce “Liberal racism” — a form of “discrimination” he believes is eroding meritocracy, eradicating diversity of thought and tearing Canadians apart.
About 50 people filled the nondescript room, where bottles of Bud Light — a beer branded “woke” by the right in 2023 after partnering with a transgender influencer — were cheekily on offer for attendees.
Liberals target Farm Credit Canada for being ‘too white’
The federal government is taking aim at Farm Credit Canada (FCC), saying the Crown-owned lender’s portfolio is dominated by “older white men” and needs to better reflect the country’s diversity.
In a budget notice, the Department of Finance said cabinet will amend the Farm Credit Canada Act to require regular legislative reviews ensuring the bank’s loans align with the “changing needs” of the agriculture sector.
DEI is ‘illiberal, anti-merit,’ says analyst as Poilievre pushes to end government DEI programs
Bringing an end to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives within Canada’s government, as proposed by Pierre Poilievre, would allow people to be chosen for roles based on merit and character, says the founder of a Canadian think tank.
“It goes to the basic question of what kind of society you want and what governments should be doing. Governments should not have bureaucracies whose job it is to discriminate based on skin colour, ethnicity, gender,” Mark Milke told National Post.
Toronto Star uses ‘mass graves’ conspiracy to ‘explain’ DEI increases
When the Toronto Star recently linked the rise of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs to the “discovery of unmarked graves at residential schools,” it echoed a familiar trope of moral reckoning born from tragedy.
The paper conspiratorially theorized that “a push for more inclusive policies in many countries was sparked by the 2020 death of George Floyd … and in Canada by the discovery of unmarked graves at residential schools.”
Doug Ford spends nearly half a billion dollars to push DEI and race ideology in schools
Under Premier Doug Ford’s watch, Ontario has quietly poured nearly half a billion dollars into reshaping its schools around a DEI agenda and pushing race-based ideology onto students.
Since Ontario launched its “equity” education overhaul in 2017, programs rooted in Marxist-inspired critical race theory and other DEI-rooted practices have been embedded throughout the public education system.
Conservatives target Liberal DEI hiring with new petition
The federal Conservatives are ramping up criticism of the Liberal government’s spending on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, launching a petition that calls for an end to what they describe as “billion-dollar bureaucracies” at a time when Canadians face record-high living costs.
The petition, circulated this week, argues that Ottawa has directed more than $1 billion into DEI-related programs and administrative structures that Conservatives say amount to wasteful spending. The document claims the Liberal government has spent $1.049 billion on DEI bureaucracy “while Canadians struggle to make ends meet.”
Gad Saad: The Cult of diversity, inclusion, and equity destroys science
On Sept. 24, 2025, I offered my expert testimony to The House of Commons’ Standing Committee on Science and Research regarding The Impact of the Criteria for Awarding Federal Funding on Research Excellence in Canada. I begin with the written transcript of my five-minute opening remarks.
Woke Canadian college says top AI position is only open to ‘disabled women and gender equity-seeking persons’
A woke Canadian college will not hire men or or able-bodied women for its new federally funded $100,000 paying tenured-track artificial intelligence position.
Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, announced that their AI research chair opening is designated for individuals who self-identify as women with a disability or gender equity-seeking persons with a disability.
The posting does not explain what a gender equity-seeking person is, but it is believed to be someone who promotes fairness in the treatment of individuals based on their gender identity or expression.
Once again we are an international embarrassment.
Peter MacKinnon: Canadians should thank Steven Pinker for denouncing DEI in Parliament
Observers who take issue with current orthodoxies (race-based quotas, compulsory support for racial diversity policies) are often denounced or sidetracked in the country’s universities and other public institutions. Widespread discrimination is practiced in the name of these orthodoxies while the liberal democratic principle of non-discrimination — Section 15(1) of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms — recedes from public view and effect in the name of affirmative action.
Ottawa reveals $1.04B in DEI spending
Taxpayers have footed more than $1 billion in federal diversity, equity and inclusion programs since 2016, newly-released records show.
Blacklock’s Reorter says spending ranged from agriculture subsidies for “cultural vegetables” to grants honouring Congolese veterans.
Figures released in an Inquiry Of Ministry tabled in the Commons detailed $1.049 billion in payouts tied to diversity, equity and inclusion.
