Top Canadian university posts job listing that excludes white heterosexual men

From LifeSiteNews
The University of British Columbia says the new job is ‘restricted to members of the following federally designated groups: people with disabilities, indigenous people, racialized people, women, and people from minoritized gender identity groups.’
One of Canadaās most well-known universities has posted a job opening for a new research chair position but has essentially barred non-homosexual white men from applying for the job.Ā
A recent job posting for the position of āTier 1 Canada Research Chair in Oral Cancer Researchā at theĀ University of British Columbia (UBC) Vancouver campus hasĀ explicitly mentionedĀ that those who donāt meet its so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requirements need not apply.Ā Ā
The UBC job posting was published on May 21, and notes that the seven-year contract for the chair role has with it certain āeligibility requirements,ā such as candidates having to demonstrate a track record of āsupporting equity, diversity, and inclusion.āĀ Ā
According to UBC, the selection for the role will be ārestricted to members of the following federally designated groups: people with disabilities, indigenous people, racialized people, women, and people from minoritized gender identity groups.āĀ
This rules out straight white men from applying for the role. UBC uses itsĀ Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Action PlanĀ as well as theĀ B.C. HumanĀ Rights CodeĀ as validation for its job requirements.Ā Ā
The UBC claims that its current faculty is underrepresented by those who āself-identifyā as having a disability, thus it notes that a person from this category is āpreferential.āĀ
To ensure that straight white men do not apply for the job, the UBC is also mandating that anyone who applies for the role must first conduct what it calls anĀ āequity survey.āĀ
āCandidates from these groups must self-identify as belonging to one or more of the designated equity groups to be considered for the position,ā notes UBC.Ā
According to the UBC, āEquity and diversity are essential to academic excellence.āĀ
āWe encourage applications from members of groups that have been marginalized on any grounds enumerated under the BC Human Rights Code, including sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, racialization, disability, political belief, religion, marital or family status, age, and/or status as a First Nation, Metis, Inuit, or indigenous person.āĀ
Musk: Is the even legal?Ā Ā
As news of the UBC job posting spread on social media, X owner Elon MuskĀ chimed inĀ to comment on the matter, writing on June 3, āIs this legal in Canada?ā in reply to aĀ sarcastic postĀ from Quebec-based academic Gad Saad mocking the job posting.Ā Ā
āYes! Oral cancer research has long been dominated by white heterosexual males. Imagine the progress that can be made if the relevant research were conducted by Trans People of Color. Thank you @UBC for your epistemological courage in fighting against the scourge of White Heterosexual Science,āĀ sarcastically wroteĀ Saad on June 3 on X.Ā Ā
In recent years, there has been a notable increase in the promotion of so-called DEI requirements on employers, because of a push for it from the federal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.Ā
Indeed, LifeSiteNews recentlyĀ reported onĀ how Trudeauās Liberal government has spent over $30 million DEI affiliated contracts amongst many federal ministries since January 2019.āÆāÆĀ
When it comes to DEI, Musk has been a formidable opponent to the discriminatory hiring practices. In Canada, the only main party speaking out against it is the Peopleās Party of Canada, under its leader Maxime Bernier. He has beenāÆoutspoken againstāÆradical gender ideologyāÆrepeatedlyāÆover the last few years as wellāÆas theāÆCOVID jabs and mandates.Ā
In April,Ā he announced aāÆnew party policy officially denouncing the so-called DEI agenda, saying it is nothing more than a āfundamentally racist, sexist, and discriminatory ideologyā that ādivides Canadians.āĀ
Bernier told LifeSiteNews recently that the only way to stop the āradical policiesā of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) agenda ā which he calls a combination of āofficial discrimination against white heterosexual malesā and the āpromotion of weird mental illnessesā ā is for people to fight back against those seeking to undermine ātraditional norms and values.āĀ

PepsiCo joins growing list of companies tweaking DEI policies

MxM News
Quick Hit:
PepsiCo is the latest major U.S. company to adjust its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies as 47th President Donald Trump continues his campaign to end DEI practices across the federal government and private sector. The company is shifting away from workforce representation goals and repurposing its DEI leadership, signaling a broader trend among American corporations.
Key Details:
-
PepsiCo will end DEI workforce representation goals and transition its chief DEI officer to focus on associate engagement and leadership development.
-
The company is introducing a new “Inclusion for Growth” strategy as its five-year DEI plan concludes.
-
PepsiCo joins other corporations, including Target and Alphabet-owned Google, in reconsidering DEI policies following Trumpās call to end “illegal DEI discrimination and preferences.”
Diving Deeper:
PepsiCo has announced significant changes to its DEI initiatives, aligning with a growing movement among U.S. companies to revisit diversity policies amid political pressure. According to an internal memo, the snacks and beverages giant will no longer pursue DEI workforce representation goals. Instead, its chief DEI officer will transition to a broader role that focuses on associate engagement and leadership development. This shift is part of PepsiCoās new “Inclusion for Growth” strategy, set to replace its expiring five-year DEI plan.
The company’s decision to reevaluate its DEI policies comes as President Donald Trump continues his push against DEI practices, urging private companies to eliminate what he calls “illegal DEI discrimination and preferences.” Trump has also directed federal agencies to terminate DEI programs and has warned that academic institutions could face federal funding cuts if they continue with such policies.
PepsiCo is not alone in its reassessment. Other major corporations, including Target and Google, have also modified or are considering changes to their DEI programs. This trend reflects a broader corporate response to the evolving political landscape surrounding DEI initiatives.
Additionally, PepsiCo is expanding its supplier base by broadening opportunities for all small businesses to participate, regardless of demographic categories. The company will also discontinue participation in single demographic category surveys, further signaling its shift in approach to DEI.
As companies like PepsiCo navigate these changes, the debate over the future of DEI in corporate America continues. With Trump leading a campaign against these practices, more companies may follow suit in reevaluating their DEI strategies.

Mark Carney has history of supporting CBDCs, endorsed Freedom Convoy crackdown

From LifeSiteNews
Carney also said last week that he is willing toāÆuse allāÆgovernment powers, including āemergency powers,ā to enforce his energy plan if elected prime minister.āÆāÆĀ
World Economic Forum-linked Liberal Party leadership frontrunner Mark Carney has a history of supporting central bank digital currencies, and in 2022 supported āchoking off the moneyā donated to the Freedom Convoy.
In his 2021Ā bookĀ Value(s), Carney said that the āfuture of moneyā is a ācentral bank stablecoin, known as a central bank digital currency or CBDC.āĀ
He noted in his book that such a currency would be similar to current cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, but without the private nature afforded to it by its decentralization. Ā Ā
āIt is simply untenable in democracies that the core of the monetary system could be based on forms of electronic private money whose creators control large blocks of the currency, like Bitcoin,ā he wrote.Ā āCryptocurrencies are not the future of money.ā
Carney noted that a CBDC, if āproperly designed,ā could serve āall the functions to which private cryptocurrencies and stablecoins aspire while addressing the fundamental legal and governance issues that will, in time, undermine those alternatives.āĀ
Expanding on his worldview in relation to CBDCs, Carney suggested that āfearā can be taken advantage of to shape the future of money.
āWith fear on the march, people were willing to surrender to Hobbesā āLeviathanā such basic rights as the freedom to leave their homes,ā he wrote.Ā āAnd so it is with money. People will support the delegation to independent central banks of the tough decisions that are necessary to maintain the value of money provided the authorities deliver monetary and financial stability.āĀ
Some Canadians are alarmed by the prospect of CBDCs, a fear that only worsened after the Liberals under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau froze hundreds of bank accounts it deemed were importantly linked to the 2022 Freedom Convoy.Ā
During the Freedom Convoy, Carney wrote in an op-ed for theĀ Globe and Mail,Ā āThose who are still helping to extend this occupation must be identified and punished to the full force of the law,ā adding that āDrawing the line means choking off the money that financed this occupation.āĀ
Carney is a former head of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England. His ties to globalist groups have led to Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre calling him the World Economic Forumās āgolden boy.ā
In addition to his comments on CBDCs, Carney has a history of promoting anti-life and anti-family agendas, includingāÆabortionāÆandāÆLGBT-relatedāÆ efforts. He has also previously endorsed the carbon tax and even criticized Trudeau when the tax wasāÆexemptedāÆfrom home heating oil to reduce costs for some Canadians.āÆĀ
Carney also said last week that he is willing toāÆuse allāÆgovernment powers, including āemergency powers,ā to enforce his energy plan if elected prime minister.āÆāÆĀ
The Liberal Party of CanadaāÆwill chooseāÆits next leader, who will automatically become prime minister, on March 9, after Prime Minister JustināÆTrudeauāÆannouncedāÆthat he plans to step down as Liberal Party leader once a new leader has been chosen.āÆāÆāÆāÆĀ
In contrast to Carney, Poilievre has promised that if he is elected prime minister, heāÆwould stop anyāÆimplementation of a ādigital currencyā or a compulsory ādigital IDā system.āÆāÆĀ
When it comes to a digital Canadian dollar, the Bank of CanadaĀ found thatĀ Canadians are very wary of a government-backed digital currency, concluding that a āsignificant numberā of citizens would resist the implementation of such a system.āÆĀ
