Ottawa hires hundreds of foreign students as Canadian youth unemployment climbs

Federal departments hired nearly 900 foreign students in a single year despite official warnings that Canadian students are struggling to find work and facing rising unemployment.

Blacklock’s Reporter says records tabled in Parliament show the federal government employed 889 foreign students in 2024, the most recent year with complete data, even as the Treasury Board acknowledged Ottawa is supposed to prioritize Canadians.

If this doesn’t make you despise the Liberal Party nothing will.

The terrible cost of the Met Police’s diversity drive

In the shadow of recent scandal, the Metropolitan Police’s tougher vetting regime promised a cultural renaissance. Yet the admission yesterday that thousands of recruits slipped through without proper vetting, breeding predators within, reveals a force still haunted by its own institutional rot.

After the conviction of PC Wayne Cousins for the rape and murder of Sarah Everard while a serving officer five years ago, the Casey report into the force described an organisation that was culturally and operationally incapable of stopping very bad people from becoming warranted police officers. Tough new measures were introduced that doubled refusal rates for applicants and nearly 100 officers and staff were dismissed as a result of a re-vetting process.

Head of workplace rights agency urges white men to report discrimination

Andrea Lucas Anti-DEI

The head of the U.S. agency for enforcing workplace civil rights posted a social media call-out urging white men to come forward if they have experienced race or sex discrimination at work.

“Are you a white male who has experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex? You may have a claim to recover money under federal civil rights laws,” U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Chair Andrea Lucas, a vocal critic of DEI, wrote on X Wednesday evening. The post urged eligible workers to reach out to the agency “as soon as possible” and referred users to the agency’s fact sheet on “DEI-related discrimination” for more information.

The Lost Generation

For fifteen years I’ve scalped tickets to pay the bills. But in January 2016 I almost managed a real career. I was thirty-one, I’d been in Los Angeles for five years writing scripts. There had been minor successes, a couple of small projects optioned, and I’d recently started writing with my best friend. We were writing constantly, making each other better, building momentum.

Success felt close. Back then it always did.

We’d written a pilot script that a veteran showrunner had agreed, in a very theoretical, very Hollywood sort of way, to “come on” to. That project had fizzled, so we were surprised when an executive emailed us out of the blue to meet. The showrunner explained he’d submitted us for an upcoming writer’s room he was going to run—the exec had loved our pilot and wanted to hire us.

This was it, the moment our careers were supposed to take off. We’d put in our time—I’d been tutoring SATs and reselling tickets to make ends meet while I wrote—and five years seemed par for the course, based on the slightly older guys we knew who’d made it.

But of course, by 2016, we were already too late.


The Shitification of society continues apace.

Jamie Sarkonak: DEI funding exploded under Trudeau so much it can’t even be counted

It isn’t possible to hate this evil man too much.

In 2023, the Treasury Board of Canada’s program spending on diversity, equity and inclusion was roughly 100 times what it was in 2016. Public Safety Canada’s was about 40 times higher. The federal Crown prosecution service spent 20 times more.

These are some of the figures that were revealed in a House of Commons report tabled in response to a question by Conservative MP Vincent Ho. Back in October, he asked all federal departments to detail their DEI program spending, DEI-related jobs and DEI contracts, along with an explanation of how they evaluate DEI performance.

Ottawa has at minimum 577 federal diversity staffers dedicated to hating Whitey as departments report millions spent on DEI programs

The federal government assigned at least 577 employees to diversity, equity and inclusion programs last year, according to newly released records — though cabinet admitted the real number is higher because several major departments refused to report their staffing totals.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the figures were disclosed in an Inquiry Of Ministry prompted by Conservative MP Vincent Ho, who asked how many full-time equivalents were dedicated to DEI-related roles.

How the ‘decolonisation’ movement betrays black history

In 1947, as the British Empire was starting to unravel, Obafemi Awolowo, one of Nigeria’s foremost independence leaders, wrote:

‘The conquest of one nation by another in an unprovoked act of aggression cannot be justified by any standard of morality… Nevertheless, it would be harsh to condemn Britain today because of her actions in the 19th century. Every nation or tribe, at one time or other, has been guilty of wanton aggression… We must not allow present grievances to blind us to the virtues of the empire.’

Two decades later, with Nigeria independent, Chinua Achebe – whose novels laid bare the wreckage of colonial rule – told an interviewer: ‘I am not one of those who would say that Africa has gained nothing at all during the colonial period… This is ridiculous – we gained a lot.’

HANSON: Can the ‘Lost Generation’ be found?

The current “Z” generation — those now roughly between 13 and 28 years old — is becoming our 21st-century version of the “Lost Generation.” Members of Gen Z are often nicknamed “Zoomers,” a term used to describe young adults who came of age in the era of smartphones, social media, and rapid cultural upheaval.

Males in their teens and 20s are prolonging their adolescence — rarely marrying, not buying a home, not having children, and often not working full-time.


What a sad state of affairs.

Tory MPs denounce DEI and ‘Liberal racism’ during Jamil Jivani event

OTTAWA — On a Tuesday night, on the eighth floor of a building bordering Ottawa’s Parliamentary Precinct, Conservative MP Jamil Jivani stood before a small crowd to denounce “Liberal racism” — a form of “discrimination” he believes is eroding meritocracy, eradicating diversity of thought and tearing Canadians apart.

About 50 people filled the nondescript room, where bottles of Bud Light — a beer branded “woke” by the right in 2023 after partnering with a transgender influencer — were cheekily on offer for attendees.

Liberals target Farm Credit Canada for being ‘too white’

The federal government is taking aim at Farm Credit Canada (FCC), saying the Crown-owned lender’s portfolio is dominated by “older white men” and needs to better reflect the country’s diversity.

In a budget notice, the Department of Finance said cabinet will amend the Farm Credit Canada Act to require regular legislative reviews ensuring the bank’s loans align with the “changing needs” of the agriculture sector.

Conservative push to end Canada’s ‘anti-merit’ DEI programs receives support

A Canadian analyst praised Conservative Party efforts to end “illiberal, anti-merit” government-run diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

In an October 13 post on X, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre posted a petition to end government DEI programs, which Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy president Mark Milke revealed has led to a deterioration of the Canadian workforce.

DEI Gold Diggers Allege Racism!

Black staff at Global Affairs Canada allege systemic racism

OTTAWA — A group representing current and former Global Affairs Canada employees who are Black say the department doesn’t take their complaints about racism seriously.

The Black Class Action Secretariat, which is mounting legal challenges claiming systemic racism and discrimination in the public service, has been appealing a broader case involving the entire public service.

The group is citing cases of Global Affairs Canada staff whose complaints were rejected by internal panels before being upheld by the courts or outside commissions, without compensation.

DEI is ‘illiberal, anti-merit,’ says analyst as Poilievre pushes to end government DEI programs

Bringing an end to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives within Canada’s government, as proposed by Pierre Poilievre, would allow people to be chosen for roles based on merit and character, says the founder of a Canadian think tank.

“It goes to the basic question of what kind of society you want and what governments should be doing. Governments should not have bureaucracies whose job it is to discriminate based on skin colour, ethnicity, gender,” Mark Milke told National Post.
