To open the show, Kevin asks John if Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) policies violate the equality provisions in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This leads to a discussion about the cultural shift away from DEI among large corporations in the US, both before and after the recent presidential election. Canada is lagging behind. We end by focusing on the debate over changes to the Alberta Bill of Rights, which has those who normally agree about freedom in Canada disagreeing.
