After reading the Scarborough Charter posted on the University of Calgary’s website (https://designrr.page/?id=140172&token=1735715840&type=FP&h=9346), Bambi still has no clue what the University administrators featured in the videos below mean?
Are their words empty (just stating the obvious: Do you know anyone who does not want justice, mutuality, equality, accountability, etc.?)? Or do these words hide a concrete agenda for increased bureaucracy of the flourishing industry of so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion“? Or maybe both?
Are our universities in financial crises and is our federal government tying funds (of research chairs) to the promotion of such UN-based ideologies?
Is there a real problem here and, if so, what are the concrete proposed solutions? And where are we heading with all this?
Mind you, Dr. Malinda Smith is also referring to Canada as “the Indigenous territories now known as Canada“, like the language used by the University of Alberta (as per the older post shown further below).

“What do our Canadian universities, led by the University of Calgary, want to achieve with pledges like the Scarborough Charter?”
I would say massive debt and a lifetime of underemployment for their students. These universities are effectively setting these students up for failure.
The human resources department’s main purpose first and foremost is to avoid frivolous lawsuits at all costs. No company in their right mind wants to hire anyone without any real skillsets with a total lack of consequential knowledge of any kind. If you have recently graduated with a liberal arts degree and seemly the only skill sets you can bring to the table is “advanced racist spotting #101 and microaggressions #101” don’t be surprised if you are not getting a lot of callbacks.
It is getting so bad at this point it is almost worth taking the risk if you are a recent graduate of a liberal arts programme to have the first two words of your resume say – NOT WOKE.
