A few things on this: 1. Can one or more of our male Yakkers please apply for this position just for giggles, and claim they identify as women? I'd really love to see the City of Edmonton DEI nazis squirm their way out of not hiring men who claim they are women because, well, they're actually men pretending to be men who identify as women. Perhaps we could even take them to the Human Rights Association when they turn us down. These people really really really need to die on their own sword. 2. My daughter used to live smack dab in downtown Edmonton. It's rough - homelessness, druggies everywhere. In fact it's so rough, especially around the transit stations, that she moved out of downtown. Why is the city choosing WOMEN to tangle with groups of lawless, drugged up people on its public transit? I'm not being sexist here- I don't think women are seen as a threat to the malingerers, and that is what's required. This add should read "Male, 6"2+ musclebound bouncer types with anger issues required to intimidate, and if necessary, beat the snot out of vagrants loitering in and around City Transit" and we all know it. Transit would be cleaned up in a month. But of course this isn't about actually addressing the problem- it's about virtue signalling, and they are so blinded by it they can't even see that virtue signalling is what caused the problem of lawless druggies wreaking havoc on Transit in the first place.(Sigh). 3. For those not aware, not to be outdone by the City of Edmonton's "DEI til we DIE Department", Canada's newest medical school has lowered its minimum GPA entrance requirement for DEI candidates only. That's right- they are going to turn away white dudes with 4.0 GPAs in Biomedical Engineering in favour of dudes in dresses with 2.8 GPAs in "The Effects of Climate Change on Native Canadian Gender Fluid Persons and Amoeba Populations". The problem with this one of course is that before the Uni's DEI department dies on its sword, actual patients will have to die first. Truly, God help us.

Isn’t Edmonton’s mayor the corrupt goof ball suing Moka B. the independent journalist for exposing all the corruption? No wonder the council is wacko. Just like almost every other city everywhere where this DEI has crept in. On Vancouver Island in Victoria we went from a great semi- conservative mayor to 3 consecutive terms by gays/lesbian environmentalists. First Lisa Helps,2 terms, and now Marianne Alto (little fat man?). Victorias downtown has been decimated! I could go on but I won’t…. 🤮

I recently posted something similar from a substance that came into my email yesterday to saskatoon Reddit. In the article a medical university in Toronto is limiting educational and future job opportunities from white males depending on their sexual preferences to 25 per cent or less by way of accepting or rejecting their admission to their programs. So the other seventy five per cent or more may not be the best qualified to become a doctor here in canada? When the PM of NDP take their planes are they more concerned with the qualifications of the pilot or are they leading by example by choosing the most diverse non white sexually diverse pilots? Why wouldn't they? Maybe because they fear for their lives in a plane crash? They want the best most qualified possible flying their planes regardless of colour, gender and who sleeps with whom or what because they don't want to die. Well as in healthcare and now our cities the most important positions and educational opportunities may no longer getting the best and our interests and safety is no longer getting serviced by the best. It all comes down to not who is best qualified regardless of sex or colour or who we have sex with ...it comes down to who speaks the political language of the day and what colour a person is and what gender a person is and who or what people have sex with. Even dogs have a sense of shame.

Diversity, is discrimination for leftists to employ against non leftists.

As a woman in the workforce for decades now, and in managerial positions, there is no such thing as equality. I've been passed over for many roles because of my gender. What they can't say out loud, is that the employer finds it really disruptive to invest and train in an employee only to have to do it all over again each time she gets pregnant. So this type of discrimination is not new, but I guess if it's impacting your group for the first time, you'd be right to be pissed. But women have been dealing with this type of inequity for a long time.

Here is the thing. Marxists are being driven out of other places, and they are taking up increasing numbers of spots in Canada because the top dog Marxists reside in Ottawa. That gong show is circling the drain. The MSM would have you believe that Trudeau can "regain the trust of the electorate" or "find a wedge issue to bring voters back to the LPC". He cannot do either of those things and neither can anyone else on the bench or in the on-deck circle. CBC and CTV routinely interview "random" yahoos in PEI and other outposts who swear up and down that they are terrified of Poilievre, but they just can't bring themselves to vote for Trudeau's Liberals. Oh woe is them if the LPC would just bring in a new face, they would happily cast another ballot for the big red Marxist machine. Well I call bullshit because while a subset of 5-8% of the population is that stupid, the rest are not. And when this cabal of Marxists is drummed out of office, the rest of the Marxists will feel the pinch as the funding dries up and they will move the f*ck on, and not a moment too soon.

Don't be too sure of that. Check out our election in BC yesterday. Despite record over dose deaths, out of control violence crime and government spending and abhorrent healthcare under our NDP government, over 50% of the electorate that turned out to vote, voted to keep the NDP in power and for the "Green Party" . Why? Because the Conservatives are 'scary'. When you ask 'how so', they parrot MSM lies. I know this because I was a volunteer for my local candidate who lost to the Dipper candidate. It may well be hopeless, honestly.

No different in Ottawa.

All municipalities and correlated unions have been taken over by DEI retards. The rest of the zombies just go along to get along. No one takes a stand, well, very few do and they get ousted. Yours truly is one of the ousted.

All government is your enemy, especially at this level.

Keep calling it out. Say no and eventually stupid solves itself.

Wow, great WAGES! Hope this works out for them. But could be more dangerous for all involved.

No, they're not going to prioritize women in these jobs but rather trans identified men. They're just about the only demographic that rates nowadays so don't feel too badly. They're still MEN. LOL

What they refuse to realise is that these men are ill and unemployable. Unless they luck into something like Theresa Tam has, they never last long at their jobs.

OMG!

I have seen this as a family medicine residency faculty member as far back as the mid to late 1990’s ( & has been evident since the 1980s with internship only trained Tony Fauci’s undeserved rise through the federal bureaucracy) with very nice diversity hire double check box residents. No patients were killed when I was on duty that I was aware of…
