Canadian military mission to bring diversity and inclusion to Iraq

I personally couldn't make up something that stupid. Read it for yourself at The Globe and Mail.

Professor Momani makes some dubious claims.

"We are seen as positive examples of how diversity and inclusion work in practice."

We are? By whom?

Perhaps we are a model of diversity and inclusion because our Minister of Defence sports a turban. Not only that, but Justin himself has reassured us many times that "diversity is our strength." Alas, a quick turn on the Googlator would seem to suggest that's mostly bullshit.

How are those class-action lawsuits coming along, the ones that accuse the Canadian Forces of systemic racism and misogyny?

And check this out; Racism and discrimination rampant throughout ranks...

And here's a heart-warming paean to diversity and inclusion. Yup, that's Defence Minister Sajjan a mere three months ago, promising a "crackdown on the growing number of racist and misogynist comments on the Canadian Forces official Facebook page."

So, either Mr. Sajjan has turned around the Canadian Forces' deep-rooted culture of racism and misogyny in only three months, or Ms. Momani's op-ed is an exercise in wishful thinking.

Some would call that "fake news."

I just call it bullshit.
