When it comes to managing your financial assets, you can rest assured that the employees at State Street weren’t hired based on skill or merit, but their gender and the color of their skin.
“Diversity”
Black and Latino students did worse in schools with ‘diversity officers’: study
I hope you’re sitting down, because otherwise the following news might send you to the fainting couch quicker than a Victorian lady who has just overheard someone say the word “knickers.” A new study says that putting a high-paid diversity bureaucrat on the school payroll may actually make things worse for black and Latino students.
No, that sound you’re hearing is not a nationwide cicada infestation: That’s just 10,000 heads being scratched in school administrators’ offices. You mean, all those diversity hucksters who said we could close racial gaps by hiring lavishly paid diversity hucksters were just in it for themselves?
Prestigious art museum fires volunteers because most of them are white
“Old white ladies” are “no longer allowed to volunteer to give museum tours,” says Libby Emmons on Twitter. She’s referring to how the Art Institute of Chicago fired all 122 of its (unpaid and volunteer) docents because they aren’t sufficiently ‘diverse.’
Diversity Is Our Strength!
50 years ago today, Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau announced multiculturalism as an official government policy. It was the first policy of its kind in the world, and it recognized and celebrated a fundamental characteristic of our heritage and identity – our diversity.

“Toronto rapper” Hassan Ali arrested in Los Angeles, faces first-degree murder charge
A Toronto man wanted in connection with a shooting murder that happened in North York nearly 10 months ago was arrested on Thursday in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Police Department arrested Hassan Ali, 22, in California while acting on a Provisional American Arrest Warrant, according to Toronto police.
Ali, a resident of Toronto, is facing one count of first-degree murder and three counts of fail to comply, for the shooting death of 20-year-old Hashim Omar Hashi. Hashi was shot multiple times on the evening of Jan. 31 as he was driving into his apartment garage on 40 Falstaff Ave. He died at the scene, and was the city’s fifth homicide of the year.
Victor Davis Hanson: ‘Open Borders,‘ ‘Globalism,‘ ‘Tribalism‘ Are Reminiscent of Rome‘s Collapse
“Every nation that has survived has had borders that were defensible and clear, and the idea was that they have their own space to inculcate their language or traditions or customs, then enhance their constitution. Without that, it’s just short of a migratory, 5th century A.D. Rome where people come across the Danube River and destroy the nation-state.”
Lebanese-Canadian’s offshore company is accused of shipping mortar shells that have fallen into the hands of ISIS
Lebanese-Canadian businessman Chadi Chaarani says he is a respected entrepreneur with an “impeccable” reputation forged through ventures in Saudi Arabia and the United States.
Over the past year, three banks cancelled his accounts and refused to do business with him amid published allegations that he was involved in an arms deal in which Serbian mortar shells fell into the hands of terrorists.
New details about his alleged role in the deal, buried in the Pandora Papers leak of millions of offshore tax haven documents, show Chaarani was the director of a British Virgin Islands-based shell company alongside a Saudi military official and a U.S. defence contractor.
As Tories review election loss, weak support in immigrant communities a crucial issue
Of the 41 ridings in Canada where more than half the population is racialized, the Conservatives won just one in the 2021 election — Calgary Forest Lawn
The Conservative Party is only beginning to sift through the data from the 2021 election, but there is at least one warning light flashing red on the dashboard: the party has been nearly wiped out in Canadian ridings where visible minorities form the majority.
The Conservative party must denounce white people if it is to have any hope of winning.
Trudeau brings electoral-district-sized wave of Afghan migrants to Canada
Following PM Justin Trudeau’s re-election, Canada doubled the number of Afghan refugees it plans to take in from 20,000 to 40,000, more than fulfilling Trudeau’s campaign promise.
Sweden’s cultural revolution – The refugee crisis changed the country, and its politics, forever
“… Ironically, one of the reasons Sweden is far less polarised today than many other Western countries is probably the belated discovery that these consequences of immigration are in fact very real, and that methods of ”shaping the narrative” cannot really change material reality.
More critically, there is the realisation that nobody — certainly not middle class progressives — wants to live with those consequences at all. Crime, overcrowded schools, social and ethnic tensions, and violence toward ethnic Swedish children committed by gangs of immigrants have all conspired to cool attitudes on the subject. Indeed, the word förnedringsrån (literally “humiliation-robbery”) has now entered the Swedish lexicon as a term for robberies that display a particular sort of sadistic cruelty, where the aim of the perpetrators mostly seems to be to inflict pain and humiliation onto their victims. As such, it is hardly surprising that the recent fall of Kabul to the Taliban was not in fact met with calls to increase Sweden’s humanitarian commitment, but rather with conspicuous silence, except for a speech by Prime Minister Löfven promising that the country would “never return to the days of 2015”.
Every Canadian should read this.
Ripping Off the Veil – A British classical music organization exposes the sordid business behind all racial-preference regimes.
Racial preferences have been almost impossible to dislodge because their human costs are usually hidden. College admissions officers don’t inform rejected student applicants that they were turned down to make room for diversity admits. An HR office does not tell job seekers or the company’s own employees that they were not hired or promoted because they would add nothing to the company’s diversity metrics. The rejected applicants may suspect that they didn’t get a desired position because of a racial preference, but they can rarely be 100 percent sure.
CEOs To Receive Cancel Culture Training From Veterans On Kamala Harris’ Campaign

As US Schools Prioritize Diversity Over Merit, China Is Becoming the World’s STEM Leader
The United States has been dominant in the mathematical sciences since the mass exodus of European scientists in the 1930s. Because mathematics is the basis of science—as well as virtually all major technological advances, including scientific computing, climate modelling, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and robotics—US leadership in math has supplied our country with an enormous strategic advantage. But for various reasons, three of which we set out below, the United States is now at risk of losing that dominant position.
UK Sharia Council scholar says Taliban views on women misrepresented and ‘every Muslim I know’ is celebrating their return
‘We should give them a chance’: UK Sharia Council scholar says the Taliban have ‘grown up’ and ‘every Muslim I know’ is celebrating their return as she accuses Western media of ‘misrepresenting’ their views on women’s rights
A UK Islamic Sharia Council scholar has claimed that the Taliban have ‘grown up’ and British Muslims are ‘celebrating’ the return of the jihadi group to power.
Since taking over Afghanistan, the jihadi group has claimed it will not carry out violence against women, and will not ‘seek vengeance’ on those who stood against them during the brutal 20-year war in the region.
Sharia Council scholar Khola Hasan today told BBC Radio 4 that the Islamist group’s recent posturing on women’s rights was a ‘good start’, and ‘every single person that I know, as a Muslim’ was ‘celebrating’ their return.
This can’t happen in Canada because we imported “Magic Islam.”
Biden Ensures States, Cities Have No Veto Power Over Afghan Refugees
President Joe Biden’s administration may balloon the number of Afghans set to be resettled across the United States following the withdrawal of U.S. Armed Forces from Afghanistan.
Days ago, Pentagon officials stated up to 22,000 Afghans — mostly applying for Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) and the newly-created P-2 visa — would be arriving at three military bases: Fort Lee in Virginia, Fort Bliss in Texas, and Fort McCoy in Wisconsin.
On Thursday, though, refugee resettlement agencies told the Washington Post the number of Afghans “seeking evacuation through a U.S. visa program” is closer to 100,000 and could be as high as 300,000.
