‘Is this legal?’: Elon Musk questions UBC hiring practices
The position is federally funded through the Canada Research Chair program, which a spokesperson for UBC explains “identifies population-based targets for federally designated groups.” Canada’s Human Rights Code specially allows for hiring programs that “target historically underrepresented groups.”
Explaining further, employment lawyer Daniel Lublin told CTV News that the diversity provisions in the hiring process for this position are not only legal – but federally mandated.
“Mr. Musk really has no clue what he’s talking about as it relates to Canadian law. He has no idea whatsoever,” he said.
What an asinine response from that “lawyer”.
Imagine saying that racism is good because the race hucksters made it legal.
Sorta like Apartheid and the Nuremburg laws.
