There is a stunning paragraph, right here:

"As of December 2016, there were 1,612 filled positions, among which 30 per cent were women. That fits with the fact between 2000 and 2015, 31 per cent of applicants for the jobs were from women."

Hello?

Did I read that correctly?

About 30 percent of the applicant professors were women, and about 30 percent of the chosen recipient professors were women?

Um, where's the sexism?

Or wait, is the sexism sitting there in Ottawa in the Office of the Science Minister, a sexism that is so out-of-control and strong-armed that it wants to throw young male researchers under the bus, in an agenda of bigoted gynophilia?
