Persecution of Coutts Political Prisoners via Denial of Medical Treatment:

An unsung hero of the ongoing Coutts Political Prisoners story is Nikki Thom, friend and business associate to Tony Olienick, one of the remaining Coutts “2” of the Coutts Four prisoners, arrested on February 13, 2022, and who remains in custody, having been denied bail and yet to face trial.

Nikki has been tirelessly advocating on all four men’s behalf since day one, taking on what amounts to another full time job, doing the work of endless paperwork, emails, meetings, court appearances, and untold hours of legwork in assisting their legal counsel.

DEI “Evidence” Debunked

Baiting The Left 21 Comments

Guest post from William McNally:

McKinsey has four studies that are used by DEI advocates to argue that diversity “is a powerful enabler of business performance.”

Here’s the 2020 study.  McKinsey measure diversity as the racial variety of a company’s executive team.

A new paper by Green and Hand delivers a pretty thorough debunking.  Here’s a synopsis of the criticism.

Here’s the journal article by Green and Hand.

McKinsey wouldn’t share its data (very suspicious) and Green and Hand couldn’t replicate the McKinsey results with a large sample of S&P firms.

Worse, McKinsey’s study design measures a reverse causality: that increased performance causes more diverse hiring.

That makes more sense to me, as I think that diversity is a luxury belief: https://www.robkhenderson.com/p/status-symbols-and-the-struggle-for

This fits into the Scott Adams category of “Backwards Science”.

To give an example, McKinsey’s 2015 study measures diversity in 2014 but looks at financial performance in the years 2010-2013.

Thus, the McKinsey results don’t provide evidence  for the conclusion they are making. The results show that companies with high EBIT margins tend to hire more diverse executives.

Remember the good old days when teaching was a noble profession and teachers excelled at teaching children the 3 R’s: Reading, wRiting, and aRithmetic? In recent years, it seems that children are getting dumber and dumber. Well, it turns out that in Ontario, this isn’t possibly the fault of the teachers. Nope:

Four of Ontario’s largest school boards are suing the parent companies of Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok, alleging the social media platforms are disrupting student learning, contributing to a mental health crisis and leaving educators to manage the fallout.

The Toronto District School Board, the Peel District School Board, the Toronto Catholic District School Board and the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board filed four separate but similar cases in Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice on Wednesday.

The lawsuits claim the social media platforms are negligently designed for compulsive use and have rewired the way children think, behave and learn, leaving teachers and schools to deal with the consequences.

Interesting take. One can only wonder how so many students have successfully learned:

  • How to be a good communist.
  • That all white people carry the stain of original sin.
  • That the Liberals and NDP are the benevolent angels and anyone else is a right-wing Nazi bigot.
  • That Mother Earth is soon to die any day now.
  • That Communist China are the U.S. Democrats are just swell and Trump is the Orange Hitler.

Are All Vancouver NIMBYs now also Racists?

Something very interesting is happening in Vancouver:

Much like in the US, Canada is experiencing a severe housing affordability crisis, and the country’s indigenous communities, known as First Nations, have long suffered disproportionately from inadequate housing.

But Canada’s indigenous communities are fighting to address the issue. In Vancouver alone, several First Nations are leading a major push to build housing on indigenous-owned land, in some cases partnering with the federal government to build entirely new communities that will house tens of thousands of people, while generating wealth for generations of First Nations members to come.

Ground has already been broken on one of these projects, 11 towers with 6,000 homes being built by the Squamish Nation on a 12-acre piece of land near downtown Vancouver, Canada’s most expensive real-estate market. The Squamish people were forced off of this land in the early 20th century and finally won back their ancestral territory about 20 years ago.

Canada’s Fast March to Totalitarianism

Trudeau Demands Life In Prison For Speech Crimes:

To protect children from sexual exploitation, Canada must pass the Online Harms Act, says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government. “I am the parent of two young boys,” said Justice Minister Arif Virani. “I will do whatever I can to ensure their digital world is as safe as the neighborhood we live in. Children are vulnerable online. They need to be protected from online sexual exploitation, hate, and cyberbullying.”

But Virani’s bill is totally unnecessary to protect children. Its real goal is to allow judges to sentence adults to prison for life for things they’ve said and for up to a year for crimes they haven’t committed but that the government fears they might commit in the future.

As such, Trudeau and Virani’s Online Harms Act (Bill C-63) is the most shocking of all the totalitarian, illiberal, and anti-Enlightenment pieces of legislation that have been introduced in the Western world in decades.
