Maxime Bernier & People’s Party of Canada Pledge to Rid Us of Diversity, Equity & Inclusions Insanity
Today I was in Bowmanville (ON) for a press conference with our amazing Durham by-election candidate, Patricia Conlin.
This press conference was an opportunity to introduce Patricia to the local and national media.
We also announced a new PPC policy on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
DEI is a fundamentally racist, sexist, and discriminatory ideology that divides Canadians, creates blatant injustices, and undermines social cohesion.
Under the pretext of promoting nice-sounding goals, it does the exact opposite: it imposes a uniform far-left perspective, and unfairly gives more rights to some, while excluding others who don’t fit in official categories of victims.
This hateful ideology holds that our culture and Western society is irredeemably racist, colonialist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and whatever new phobia or -ism they come up with next week!
We hear about new absurd examples of these programs almost every day.
Just a few weeks ago, we learned that the University of Waterloo wanted to hire two Research Chair positions in the Computer Science department.
The first position was only open to applicants “who self-identify as women, transgender, gender-fluid, non-binary, or Two-spirit”.
The second position was only open to applicants “who self-identify as a member of a racialized minority”.
If you’re straight or white, tough luck! The University of Waterloo doesn’t want you.
Our woke leaders do not believe in merit anymore. They undermine one of the key foundations of western civilization.
They tell us that “diversity” is more important than competence.
We see this everywhere in Canada and the West today.
The longer that this twisted agenda is in place, the more things will fall apart and cease to function.
Because decline is the only outcome when you prevent and penalize the most capable and meritorious.

And read the full text of the policy here.
A PPC government will take the following steps to expunge this toxic ideology from our society and country:
- Abolish all federal DEI programs and policies in the public service and in federal institutions such as the Armed Forces, as well as those that apply to federally regulated industries.
- Prohibit DEI training sessions in all federal institutions.
- Remove all DEI clauses imposed on institutions, organisations, associations and businesses as a condition to obtain federal subsidies, grants, loans, scholarships, services, or contracts.
- Stop funding groups that promote the DEI ideology.
- In all legal proceedings, narrowly interpret section 15(2) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in a manner that proscribes reverse discrimination.
- Support Canadians who are being discriminated against, harassed, vilified, or harmed in any way by organisations that impose DEI programs and policies.
