This article is full of uninformed assumptions and shows very little knowledge of either Trudeau's policies or of gender and cultural equity programs. If merit actually counted, then men, women, and minorities would be equally represented  everywhere because surely no one believes that women and minorities lack the intelligence and capabilities to perform as equals with  white men.  As well, there would also males in those female dominated fields. Gender and prejudice harms everyone, including white males who might want to be daycare workers or nurses. The assumption that a white male elite reflects real merit is just plain silly. If merit is really being respected, we'd have the equality we seek!
