Canadian university says economics professor position only open to applicants who ‘self-identify as Black’
A Canadian university is only accepting applicants who “self-identify as Black” for a tenure track teaching position in economics.
Toronto Metropolitan University posted the job listing for a tenure track position in applied microeconomics or economics on Nov. 21 and states on its website that the school is “committed to addressing the underrepresentation of Black faculty.”
The university formerly known as Ryerson is a bad joke.

The vicar of a church previously targeted by suspected satanists fears more “sinister” goings-on after dead animals were discovered by worshippers.
The Rev David Bacon raised the prospect of “witchcraft” after ladies coming to clean the church found a cat hanging “horribly” from a flagpole.

The end of Covid-19 restrictions on Japan’s nighttime economy has brought more people out on to the streets of Tokyo – but it could also be contributing to a spate of deaths among people who are struck by cars as they sleep on the road.
The number of deaths among people who sleep where they drop on the capital’s roads has nearly doubled from last year, from seven to 13, according to police.
Concern is rising that the death toll will rise again over the coming fortnight, as office workers get together to mark the end of the year at alcohol-fuelled bonenkai parties – a custom many shunned during the pandemic.
Tories maintain lead over Liberals as gap slightly widens, new poll shows

… Younger voters were most likely to support New Democrats. A full third of those aged 18 to 34 said they would vote for the party, while 28 per cent would vote Liberal and 22 per cent Conservative.
The Bank of Canada is moving out of its research phase into a central bank digital currency and going into the development phase, its governor said on Dec. 12, with consultations on the issue to take place with Canadians in 2023.
“I think over time, it is conceivable that in a more digital economy, it might make sense to give Canadians the ability to hold central bank money in digital format. So we’re making sure we’re getting ready,” Bank of Canada (BoC) Governor Tiff Macklem said in his year-end address hosted by the Business Council of British Columbia.

Among those who attended the White House’s ceremony for the signing of the legislation codifying same-sex marriage were two drag queens, one of whom once tweeted: ‘The kids are out to sing and suck d!’
Another performed for a group of kids in a church in New York in August where ‘social pressure’ was put on students of Grace School to enjoy the show.
It’s enough to make you wish the heavens would open and rain hell-fire on the Biden White House.
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly testified during a Monday afternoon committee meeting that she has no idea about the names of the 11 Liberal MPs allegedly targeted by an election interference attempt by the Chinese government during the 2019 election.
The latest drop of Twitter files showed how the social media company banned President Trump after the January 6 riots, while dictators were allowed to remain on the platform and promote mass violence and genocide.
While Twitter executives decided Trump’s use of the phrase ‘American patriots’ could be a ‘coded incitement to further violence’ and banned him for it, they did nothing when the Iranian Ayatollah and the prime minster of Malaysia explicitly advocated slaughtering millions of lives.
The disturbing revelations came to light on Monday as journalists Bari Weiss and Matt Taibbi continue to come through a trove of Twitter’s internal files and communications that Elon Musk released as a part of his mission to return the platform to a sanctuary of free speech.
Skate Canada has updated its policies so that ice dance or pairs teams competing domestically can be composed of any two athletes.
Canada’s governing body of figure skating announced Tuesday that its definition of “team” for athletes training in the Podium Pathway will be revised to consisting of “two skaters.”
