I think this year like previous years, the top Ontario high school graduates will be E.I.'s and East Asians. Are we allowed to say this?

Good!..........Maybe non Asian parents can learn something here.

Of course fatherless families are a big problem........

I still remember the top student (EI) from a few years ago. She gave all the credit to her dad who drove a cab 24/7 to take care of his family. I did a search but was unable to find her story. I did find two other stories (among others) about ethnicity and universities (see links below).

They are trying that in construction. It hasn't been very successful. For some reason, nobody can't figure it out, ladies are not lining up to become laborers or bricklayers.
Would the term "toxic environment" have any meaning there on Bizarro World :rolleyes: ???

And if their the best people for the jobs then that is great....Merit!

The problem is enforcing equality of outcome......
exactly
Are there barriers to equality of opportunities?
knock them down.

equality of outcome ... means quotas
And a reduced probability the best person for the position gets the position

management has an obligation to the companies clients, employees and shareowners to hire the best person for the position
if that person happens to be a black lesbian.... so be it
if that person happens to be a white hetro male .... so be it

excluding excellent candidate in order even up a quota scorecard is bad business

so now you have two unachievable social warrior goals to impose on the construction industry
  1. convince more women to enter the trades ie hard physical labor where you get dirty - a small fraction of the female population actual likes this as a career option
  2. fix 'toxic masculinity' in the construction industry - good luck with that

yeah right

the mines are just overflowing with upper canada college grads or those who grew up in Rosedale... not

more likely most employees grew up in mining towns
So when they stop mining because either better resources are developed elsewhere or deposits play out you get a toxic workforce with limited job prospects. Going to make sure they have access to firearms as well???

If any women apply for anything to do with mining, it'll be for positions indoors at a desk. They'll be kept busy updating employee pronouns and attaching land acknowledgements to all email signatures like the following:

"Company X is located on the traditional territories of the Wendat, Haudenosaunee, Anishnabeg, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. This territory is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Anishinabeg and Haudenosaunee allied nations to peaceably share and care for the lands around the Great Lakes."

That's really old school sexism.
Haven't heard that in a while.

We need quotas because we cannot trust people to behave unequivocally and because people are biased. White people will prefer white people. Minorities will prefer other minorities. So we need quotas to ensure we don't leave it up to "meritocracy" because objective meritocracy does not exist. It is always subjective and people's judgement cannot be trusted. Quotas only ensure that everyone is represented but the people who are chosen still are qualified and therefore the meritocracy still applies.

Indeed. It is not even new that women actually work in mines equal to men, get dirty and all that.

Did no one watch that Charlize Theron movie North Country that was based on the landmark class action case against sexual harrassement filed by Lois Benson against Eveleth Taconite mining company back in the 80s? If women worked in mines then, women are capable and do work in mines today.
  • 9.4% of all miners are women, while 90.6% are men.

I'm one who believes in chromosomes, i.e. science.
What about intersex?
People who are intersex may have a mix of chromosomes, such as XXY. Or they may have some cells that are XY and some cells that are XX. Or they may have just one X chromosome (XO). Other combinations can occur too.
