The World is Going to Hell in a Handbasket!

 Folks, do ya want to know just how NUTS things are getting?

The David Suzuki Foundation has been placed into the uncomfortable situation of trying to distance itself from its founder and namesake after he said something nutty. “When David speaks publicly, he speaks on his own behalf – not for the David Suzuki Foundation,” the foundation said in an official statement issued after Suzuki said “pipelines will be blown up” unless governments halted their construction.

Or how about THIS one from The National Post?

Minority professor denied grants because he hires on merit: 

'I don't care about the colour of your skin. I'm interested in hiring someone who wants to work on the project and is good at it,' Prof. Patanjali Kambhampati says!

An award-winning Canadian scientist said he has been refused two federal government grants for his research on the grounds of “lack of diversity” — even though he is originally from India and has repeatedly suffered racism.

Patanjali Kambhampati, a professor in the chemistry department at Montreal’s McGill University, believes the death knell for the latest grant was a line in the application form where he was asked about hiring staff based on diversity and inclusion considerations. He says his mistake was maintaining that he would hire on merit any research assistant who was qualified, regardless of their identity.

“We will hire the most qualified people based upon their skills and mutual interests,” Kambhampati wrote on the application.

“I’ve had two people say that was the kiss of death,” said Kambhampati. “I thought I was trying to be nice saying that if you were interested and able I’d hire you and that’s all that mattered. I don’t care about the colour of your skin. I’m interested in hiring someone who wants to work on the project and is good at it.”

Yup, the world is going to hell in a handbasket kids!
