Hello Andrew and Staph and Harpy,

Your comments and voting-on-posts do not make sense. Just look:

Fact 1. Team Justin Trudeau uses affirmative action to select in favour of women for positions of power. That is not a debatable point. Trudeau himself has stated so, clearly.

Fact 2. Affirmative action by definition makes it necessary that a criterion other than merit, that is, such as ethnic or gender group membership, be used as a basis for making personnel selection decisions. That is not a debatable point.

Given that fact pattern, your protests about the original post are not compelling. The mechanism of taint, that is in play thanks to team Trudeau, immediately leads to the question of whether the most qualified candidate was chosen or not.
