All of the large and small private sector IT consulting services I've worked for over the last 25 years have had well defined and ubiquitous DEI informed hiring/promotion and review teams, processes and yearly staff training/refresh programs. I never looked at it, at all, as deleterious to the job/results demanded by the client. I feel the objections to "DEI" are just code for ill mannered sexist /racist bigoted pigs wanting to act up and not get called out.
Stunning that the anti-woke in the ministries of the ucp don’t see themselves as the purest of DEI hires. Nearly to a person they couldn’t pass the base competency exams to enter their own ministries to a base level job.
The job in Alberta with the lowest bar to enter is that of politician. Reading, writing and arithmetic aren’t base skill sets as they are in every other field of employment. To be a politician one only needs to be 18 years of age, illiteracy be damned.
As they rail against those of us who are “woke”(yes I am woke because I care about how we all work together without sanction), perhaps we can ask Mrs Moretta to put on an apron as befits the era of anti-wokeness she and her minions want to achieve. Let’s get to truth in advertising
I concur with your observation on tips and skirt length: at 28 I waitressed at one of the Stampede hotel saloons. Short skirt and high heel boots was the ticket.
I have to laugh, under my breath not out loud, at these failed males of a certain generation who all want to go back in time to when they had unquestioned privileges and no competition except among each other, there was no such thing as ‘woke’ or DEI, and women were back in the home powerless and choosing among these guys to happily marry and have kids. This group, if you put all of their headshots together would suddenly become so easily identifiable as members of this ‘lost’ generation. Without their privileges they lose to smarter women, other men and women from other races in all avenues of competition, finding mates, getting a good white collar job or leading a community. Smarter college educated women don’t want them, there are lots of much harder working individuals of all kinds who can do that job and are in better touch with their community and more able to lead. So, this ‘lost’ generation of white males are an unhappy bunch, and a big enough bunch in numbers to make their whining and crying loudly heard by all. And a big enough and desperate enough group to be easily used by the very wealthy and powerful on the promise of going back in time, which history shows is impossible long term, it must be said. It sucks to be them not in the clubhouse but on par with the rest of society as everyone struggles to find their happy places taking swings at the ball as best they can.
You had this right in the first sentence, the Hatfields and McCoys, and just as freaking DENSE in the head. Country bumpkin ZERO brains at play. Anybody else see the stampede bumpkins footage slurping their corn dogs while the diapered toddler in a stroller turned beat red in 31 degrees temps?? Yup, shit for brains is what we’re dealing with, but a minority. Let’s go, call that snap election bright one! Cmon DANIELLE!! These are your peeps…..Progressive conservatives and NDP, you know what to do. It’s time.
*Groan* - apparently there isn't a dumb Murikan imported MAGA idea this execrable UCP government won't fail to emulate......
"Woke" is the involuntary sound made by air rushing into the near vacuum-empty space between the ears of silly right wing politicians.
It may be influential in government but it isn’t in business. Small win but a win nonetheless.

Very well said.
