Re: [OT] Yet another exercise in "woke"/DEI pandering

Toronto mayor Olivia Chow is encouraging the idea of adding an
indigenous (i.e. Indian or Inuit (formerly Eskimo)) councillor to the
Toronto City Council. This individual would be *appointed*, not elected,
but still have full voting rights.

Brian Lilley points out why this is objectionable just in case it isn't
obvious:

Some of the comments are fun. A few of them propose Buffy Ste. Marie to
fill the post; she's only recently admitted that she was born in the US
after decades of being honoured as a Canadian aboriginal performer; she
was "adopted" by a Cree tribe in Saskatchewan as an adult and used that
to obtain various awards and honours in this country.
