True enough.

It's a shame Ukraine had a grain focus instead of banana plantations.

Southern coastal areas may be sufficiently tropical enough for bananas.

If an employer wants to pay me to daydream/plan my evening while someone drones through some cynical take on capitalism's view of diversity instead of exploit my labor power all the more power to them. Crying about that or Innuit mathematicians seems kinda lol

i feel like if you really want to hire an inuit mathematician you should probably get a headhunter to find one instead of putting up help wanted ads in places where you already know there arent any so youre just antagonizing existing staff for no reason

That's the point, by having this position technically, legally 'open' but waiting for Diverse Hires tm you can continue getting government subsidies for several things while you do soft layoffs. Fire one or two people but keep those positions open for impossible applicants and it's a win/win

Oh for sure. Like someone mentioned, it's like one position to look good versus actually helping that group's material conditions as a whole.

Semper Shitpost Ubique

I don’t know if this is the right way to put it, but the meritocratic idea that an Inuit mathematician would spring from the firmament independent from anything that would improve their lives as a whole seems very liberal.txt. Like, the stuff you would have to do to get an advanced education in mathematics from a community that doesn’t have running water borders on superhuman. Such a candidate obviously has an inspiring story, but what’s is it doing for the Inuit as a whole?

I just seems to encapsulate Canadian neoliberalism where there is no such thing as a society but we celebrate individuals that overcome barriers that we claim to be unable to do anything about.

e: Also I started reading a book on it this afternoon and lol Official Multiculturalism in Canada is the result of a Ukrainian senator demanding they be held help as equals to the British and French as founders of the nation. The first culture to be included in addition to the traditional two was Ukrainian. 🇺🇦

Yikes, this is why you need a chaperone on your trips to keep you grounded. Hopefully someone is helping them out in real life.

Wait what? How are Ukrainians founders of Canada? Aren't they significantly down the list even in order of settlement?

Or are they founders of the Canadian Multicultural IdentityTM (1967) you were describing earlier?

I feel like for al the negative things that may or may not be true about Ukraine (or Galicia?), that Ukraine on the whole is a country more honest than Canada about what it actually is.

There will be a number of male tourists using that train to take in the fine wining and dining Ukraine has to offer. They're all on backpacking holidays hence their large packs. Oh look they all shop at the same hiking store. Huh.

No they're not military. See they're all wearing different polo & Hawaiian shirts. They don't even know each other, they just became friends on the train trip which is why they're now leaving the train station together.

For drinks and eats.
