[New York Times columnist David Brooks], like his colleague Paul Krugman, is doing well for himself and doesn’t quite grasp why we plebs don’t appreciate the great work our elite have been doing managing the US economy. He got a lesson, though, at the Newark airport (yuck) he shared with the world.
What’s The Opposite Of Diversity?
Boston University hired Ibram X. Kendi to lead its new Center for Antiracist Research in 2020, a year marked by a global pandemic and nationwide racial tension.
Three years later, after at least $43 million in grants and gifts and what sources say has been an underwhelming output of research, the Center for Antiracist Research laid off almost all of its staff last week.
Multiple former staff members allege that a mismanagement of funds, high turnover rate and general disorganization have plagued the Center since its inception.[…]
Former staff members said the Center appeared to prioritize fundraising and revenue over research.

Biden’s latest verbal mistake comes a week after he was ripped for inferring that African American and Hispanic workers don’t have “high school diplomas.”
The Chinese Territory Of Canada
And just like that, no more news in Justin’s media about China. Must keep that India distraction going. Meanwhile an audit for the Trudeau foundation. And China recruits agents in Canada.
Friday On Turtle Island
Biden’s America: Can you choose your race? The southern border is collapsing. Garland stonewalls congress. The threats to America. A nation of snitches. Why is Biden supporting Trudeau?
Blackie’s Canada: The assisted suicide training curriculum (JW). Trudeau and Singh denounce the Million Person March. Justin is mocked. Sophie signs with a talent agency. The unmarked graves hoax continues. The battle for Canada.

Operation Change The Channel: A progress report from Matt Gurney
[…] I am probably more respectful than many in the press of the need for some secrecy on national security grounds. I see the world through that lens already. I get it.
But, like, wow.
The government needs some kind of message that’s deeper and stronger than “Trust us.” They have to know that, or at least should. If they don’t, that’s not a problem that’s solvable in six days.
And look at the dual communications flops yesterday, from two veteran ministers.
Bill Blair “no commenting” when asked if India might have TRIED TO SABOTAGE THE PM’S FUCKING PLANE. The near-instant panicked clarifications from DND press people told us all we needed to know about that brain fart. Blair himself walked it back later in the day.
But also Marc Miller. This guy is considered one of their smarter ministers, one of their better communicators. And he goes out this week and boldly sets the record straight on Mr. Nijjar’s citizenship … and misses the date by a mere eight years.

That escalated quickly: India suspends visa services in Canada
“Important notice from Indian Mission: Due to operational reasons, with effect from 21 Sept. Indian visa services have been suspended [until] further notice,” the BLS Indian Visa Application Center in Canada said in a statement.
It gave no further details. BLS is the agency that processes visa requests for India, including for entry, tourist, student and employment visas. The centre has physical locations in cities such as Toronto, Ottawa, Winnipeg and Vancouver.
In 2021, 80,000 Canadian tourists visited India, making them the fourth-largest group, according to India’s Bureau of Immigration. Canada is an attractive destination for Indians, especially students. In 2022, nearly 300,000 Indians were pursuing higher education in Canada.
India’s External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi cited unspecified security threats “being faced by our high commission and consulates in Canada.”
“This has disrupted their normal functioning,” said Bagchi. “Accordingly our high commission and consulates are temporarily unable to process visa applications

The Libranos: A Brown Paper Bag Lunch
Cabinet billed more than a quarter million for a three-day cabinet retreat on inflation, records show. Expenses for the meeting at a Vancouver Hyatt a year ago included tens of thousands of dollars for food with catering from one café that sells an $88 “millionaire’s cut” steak and lobster plate: “The cost of living, that is our focus.”
They’re entitled to their entitlements.

Soviet food systems
With rampant crime infesting so many inner cities in North America, is it really any wonder that large retailers are exiting those environs? Responding with a proposal for state-owned food stores is about as far from a solution as you could possibly get, but these days it seems to be par for the course.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said he wants to open city-owned grocery stores to serve neighborhoods that have become “food deserts” after four Walmart stores and a Whole Foods closed.
Johnson announced last week that his administration would partner with the nonprofit advocacy group Economic Security Project to put stores in underserved areas of the city — a proposal Republicans called something out of “Soviet-style central planning.“
