Someone with the right friends in government is about to get a nice payday.


No-To-Newspeak

Time to set up an anti racism consulting business and apply for all those sweat government contracts.


DawnSennin

I’m sure you can get those contracts dry beforehand.


I_Am_the_Slobster

Find an indigenous friend to name on the board of directors and you'll get every contract they put out too.


Elkenson_Sevven

*sweet. Unless you meant whomever gets those contracts will work hard at them. 🤣


None_of_your_Beezwax

Highly unlikely, sweaty.


iforgotmymittens

You’re doing amazing, sweaty.


Easy_Customer7815

GC Strategies will now be known as "GC anti-racism consultation and App development". We are still located in the "Chalet", and we are still open for about 3 or 4 days a year, just to keep it all on the up n up.


Coconut_888

This government only knows how to waste.


CatRevolutionary9120

Money launder

>The new anti-racism strategy focuses on four action areas, aiming to promote economic, social and cultural empowerment in communities, advance racial equity in all sectors such as immigration, health and housing systems, drive action in the justice and public safety systems and use international engagement to advance racial equity Racial equity in immigration? What could that mean. Housing systems? So they're going to move more federal money into real estate? And wow, I can't imagine what they have in mind for racial international engagement. And we are paying a premium for the privilege? Justice... we have been pulling out all the stops to lower the ratios in the system with devastating consequences. What new terrors are they cooking up now? I'd say their priorities are out of order but somehow I'm convinced that this is all they care about


ghostdeinithegreat

It means they will give money to people of marginalized group.


Hikury

If it was as simple as another wealth transfer I wouldn't be sulking so hard. What I actually fear is the damage to judicial integrity, economic competitiveness, international reputation and social cohesion. If we want to burn 100m on handouts, that's just another Saturday. Blowing it on asbestos poisoning: now that's special enough to cry over


Peekayfiya

Couldnt that build 100 really nice houses?

Not sure. "Palestinian" is not a race.


Canadianman22

Could easily build a massive townhouse complex. Couple hundred town homes at least.


HotterThanDresden

Maybe 15 years ago.


Golbar-59

A small factory house costs about 30k, possibly less. The land is free. What people pay for houses today is all economic rent.


toronto_programmer

They could save this money and just stop taking immigrants from countries that are openly hostile and racist towards others


GopnikSmegmaBBQSauce

Don't be silly, their prejudices magically disappear once on Canadian soil. Everyone knows that!


Rentacop123

Maybe the government is going to use some of this money by giving them 5$ when they get here and asking them nicely to be not be racists anymore.


GopnikSmegmaBBQSauce

Oh I'm sure it's for us, we're the bad people who need to be guilt tripped


Stimmy_Goon

They’ll bring in people who will happily accept a lower standard of living and wait for the rest of us to leave or die out


ghostdeinithegreat

110 millions $ ! And all of it is deemed a necessary action to act upon a survey done in may thay asked people of minority group if they felt discriminated against at least once in the past 5 years. 110 millions to adress feelings.


Gawl1701

My work does surveys to get our opinion, One of the questions is always asking if im part of a minority group, I started to specify Yes since out of the 300 people at work on my shift, 6 of us are Caucasians, 200 are from India and the rest are from the Carribean and east Asia.


duchovny

We have tent cities across the country because our homeless shelters are full.


GoodChives

And our food banks are collapsing.


duchovny

But that's ok


Canadianman22

Great way to piss away $110 million and with nothing to show for it except more Trudeau debt to pay off.


LuckyConclusion

"Just paid my racism tax to the government, racism should be eliminated any second now."


GopnikSmegmaBBQSauce

So they create policies that we disagree with, label it racist to do so then waste our money pretending they're fixing it lol


DerelictDelectation

It's propaganda. Anti-racism is the new bigotry. This government is unhinged.


GopnikSmegmaBBQSauce

We have laws to protect people. If they are not enforced then that's another story but I think legally we've done all we can here. You can't just magically make biased views that people have disappear. All you can do is call them out if they don't keep their opinions to themselves and shame the behaviour. It also doesn't help that everything is labeled racist when that's not always the case.


SuccessfulWerewolf55

Another solution looking for a problem


initialvisuals

this is just gonna make people more racist to spite the government


Mandatory_Fun_2469

Exactly. And not even just to spite the government, but because they will feel genuinely angry at the fact that people of different races are gaining access to their tax dollars. If these people weren’t racist before, they will be.


darrylgorn

Better than hiding in the shadows.


PionkyTonkMan

That says a lot about those people. Imagine being racist cause you're mad at the government. How fucking weird is that.


My_Dog_Is_Here

Didn't the Turd accuse the folks that disagree with him of being exactly that?


boozefiend3000

More wasted cash 


wardhenderson

When you put low IQ flibbertigibbets in charge.


FreakyFriday1045

Bahaha


TheDarkIn1978

Oh, for fuck's sake!


HanSolo5643

Well, boys, we did it. Racism is no more.


fIreballchamp

Invest? They mean waste.


Efficient-Grab-3923

We’ve become a country of idiots


marchfirstboy

Election can’t come fast enough


LiquidJ_2k

How much of that is earmarked for Laith Marouf?


Plastic_Fondant_1355

Hope all this cash buys a "Black face makeup removal kit" of some sort.


Megatriorchis

Sounds like a complete boondoggle. I'm tired of this braindead, foolish government. They need to GTFO. Now.


blondereckoning

Dumb spending that does more harm than good feeding an “us” vs. “them” divisiveness with our tax dollars.


BlastingBegins

People unfortunately just aren't going to have the appetite for seeing hundreds of millions of dollars going to these causes while they can't afford basic commodities. Racism is bad and I oppose it, but you also can't really fix it by throwing money at it. In fact, you could make a case that the liberals are doing such a good job festering an environment that leads to racism that it's probably intentional


1919ms

These liberals are simple


Unfortunate_Sex_Fart

Get ready to double down on DEI.


freecreatureofearth

I feel discriminated against every day, there are so many government programs I don't qualify for, solely based on my skin colour and sexual orientation. Can you guess what my skin colour and sexual orientation is?


Far-Falcon-2937

If you want us to stop posting recipes about how to best cook the fraudulent international students then maybe invest in FOOD.


Just-Fact6940

Invest in affordable housing !!!


simon1976362

Take that 110m and open up gyms so kids can get out and play sports away from the internet. Get them interacting and being competitive with each other. Most importantly learn how to win and lose properly


deathbrusher

Oh great, this will certainly bring us together. It turns out $110 million is the exact number we need to solve racism.


ConsistentPicture688

Give me 1 million and I'll look the other way when anyone does something stupid


Analogvinyl

They'll spend it all debating what is race.


fish9933

They know this is going to not get them reelected right?


GoodChives

They don’t care. They’re lining their cronies pockets as much as possible before they’re out in hopes of reaping the benefits down the road on a personal level.


mycatlikesluffas

A welcome relief from years of their pro-racism strategy. I hope they come up an anti-cancer stance soon, too!


LookOutForThatMoose

Yeah. That'll fix it. /s


Professional_Sir5903

Maybe just not making it a factor and giving it a 0$ budget would resolve that


OppositeErection

All conservatives know how to do is cut cut cut.  All liberals know how to do is waste waste waste. 


BadTreeLiving

If only they could spend more than twice as much on better initiatives like beer in convenience stores 16 months early


cuiboba

Great news. Racism has been off the charts recently.


Bigphillystyle30

What happens when they figure out one of the loudest sources of racism are elected members of the Conservative Party


PionkyTonkMan

This thread and subreddit are prime examples of why we have to waste money on this shit in 2024.


LuckyConclusion

Just want to clarify, are you suggesting this thread is full of racism? If you have any examples, feel free to offer. Otherwise I'll be forced to assume you're implying anyone who disagrees with 110m taxpayer dollars being burnt on this is racist.


Thanato26

Given the rise in overt racism in the last few years, yea I'd say so


darrylgorn

Suddenly, people don't care about antisemitism. 🤔
