How does a 24 year old with zero business accomplishments make the front page of Report on Business?

With his feet on a boardroom table, no less!

Report on Business is the the biz section of Canada's newspaper of record, regardless of the pretensions of the PostMedia folks. As such, it has more than a little shlepp. 

Alfred Burgesson is featured on the front page of Report on Business because he is Black. There is no other reason. There is nothing in the story to indicate that Alfred has any entrepreneurial experience other than filling out grant applications. But because of his skin tone, the slaves to political correctitude at Thomson-Reuters make this a front pager at Report on Business.


Surely there must be actual Black businessmen and women Report on Business could foreground who have actual business experience.
