"Fatigue." Really. It must be so tiring to hire only white men all the time. Where to find them!

This isn't just a US problem. It's Canada too. "Experts say they are seeing the waning interest throughout boardrooms in much of corporate Canada and America, rooted in the murky legal landscape of Donald Trump’s ban on DEI programs and a broader sense of fatigue toward race and equity issues."

Bay Street's enthusiasm for diversity has disappeared, and the findings here are depressing as hell. Only 16 per cent of companies even responded to questions about the pledges they made five years ago! www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/e33036f...

Five years after vowing to hire more Black employees, Bay Street’s enthusiasm for DEI is waning

In The Globe and Mail’s latest survey of BlackNorth signatories, far fewer companies responded to questions about their diversity progress than in prior years

For those wanting to track which MPs truly care about workers and their rights, you can start following Bill C-247, which would remove s.107 of the Canada Labour Code, which the Liberals have been using repeatedly to strip the right to strike in a way that is pretty clearly unconstitutional.
