Minority professor denied grants because he hires on merit: 'People are afraid to think'

 I don't care about the colour of your skin. I'm interested in hiring someone who wants to work on the project and is good at it,' Prof. Patanjali Kambhampati say.

 An award-winning Canadian scientist said he has been refused two federal government grants for his research on the grounds of “lack of diversity” — even though he is originally from India and has repeatedly suffered racism.

 

 Patanjali Kambhampati, a professor in the chemistry department at Montreal’s McGill University, believes the death knell for the latest grant was a line in the application form where he was asked about hiring staff based on diversity and inclusion considerations. He says his mistake was maintaining that he would hire on merit any research assistant who was qualified, regardless of their identity.

 

 

“We will hire the most qualified people based upon their skills and mutual interests,” Kambhampati wrote on the application.

“I’ve had two people say that was the kiss of death,” said Kambhampati. “I thought I was trying to be nice saying that if you were interested and able I’d hire you and that’s all that mattered. I don’t care about the colour of your skin. I’m interested in hiring someone who wants to work on the project and is good at it.”

 

 

Kambhampati said he didn’t go public after the first grant was rejected but decided to speak out now because the increasing use by the government of equity, diversity and inclusion, aka “EDI,” provisions, as well as woke culture, are killing innovation, harming science and disrupting society.

“I believe this is an important stand to make. I will not be silenced anymore,” he said.

Kambhampati’s work explores the cutting edge of super-fast laser science, a field that spans everything from telecom to medicine. He believes Canada can become a world leader in the field.

If I want to focus on merit, fairness and equality, then you get called out as a racist or sexist

But his application for a $450,000 grant this month from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) was turned down because, the council said, “the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion considerations in the application were deemed insufficient.”

 

   His grant application a year ago to the federally funded National Frontiers in Research Fund  — whose object is “to support world-leading interdisciplinary, international, high-risk/high-reward, transformative and rapid-response Canadian research” — was also turned down on similar grounds.

Because both applications were rejected at the bureaucratic level, it means that neither proceeded to the step where they would be forward to other scientists to review Kambhampati’s proposals.

But Kambhampati said he believes basing his hiring decisions on merit is a valid, moral position to hold.

“I think what’s happened is the woke and the social justice warriors have made a moralistic argument the way the religious right used to make moralistic arguments. And now people are afraid to challenge them. But I think it’s okay to say I believe that equality is a morally valid position. I believe that meritocracy is a morally valid position.”

 

A request for comment from NSERC was not answered on Tuesday.

Around the same time that Kambhampati’s latest application was turned down, another arm of the government, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, gave Dr. Lana Ray, a professor at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ont., a $1.2-million grant to study cancer prevention using traditional Indigenous healing practices. When the award was announced, Ray said “We need to stop framing prevalent risk factors of cancer as such and start thinking about them as symptoms of colonialism.”

 

Kambhampati, 50, was born in India and moved to the United States when he was four. He lived and worked in Minnesota, Texas and California, before moving to Montreal in 2003 to take up a professorship at McGill. As an immigrant he said he had experienced numerous incidents of racism.

“In childhood I used to get constant beatings and name calling,” he told National Post, adding that as an adult, he would also get harassed by U.S. border guards, and has been racially profiled in Canada, too.

“Two years ago, I had eight police officers break into my house because I was sitting on my porch while brown. That happened on Canada Day.”

But he says his experiences taught him to treat everyone equally and fairly.

“People do different things. They have different abilities. They have different interests,” he said. “To me, the whole point is to treat people as individuals, so that’s what I do in my life. My way of dealing with racism, or sexism, or any other ‘ism’ is to treat people as individuals.”

 

As scientists, he said, “we don’t believe in EDI. We believe in merit, fairness and equality. You should be fair in your procedures and treat people as equals.”

However, “if I want to focus on merit, fairness and equality, then you get called out as a racist or sexist and I refuse to let that happen to me,” Kambhampati said.

“I actually get called a racist constantly by white university students who believe that prejudice plus power equals racism. And as a result (they say), I have internalized racism. So, if you are a minority who thinks that the racism of the woke left is overstated they say you have internalized racism.”

Quebec's Roxham Road reopens to Illegal Crossings of Invasive Species after pandemic ban and we must act now!

 


    We're suggesting to all organizations and allies to send as many of our people to the illegal border crossings in Quebec to stop the illegal crossings of Invasive Species that are damaging our society and our population Eco-system by any means necessary within the law! 

    We can no longer wait for a party like the PPC to save our country from invasion because that victory could take some time so we must take actions now before it's too late!

    Land owners in the areas have already agreed to allow our people to set up citizens border patrol camps on their private property to stop them.

 


 

 

Crossings were banned in March 2020, citing pandemic concerns CBC News · Posted: Nov 22, 2021 8:54 AM 

 

Asylum seekers hoping to cross the border at unauthorized border points, such as Quebec's Roxham Road, will once again be allowed to enter the country to make a claim.

The federal government lifted the ban on Sunday, citing the improving public health situation and the re-opening of the land border with the United States. The ban, which has been in place since late March of last year, saw would-be refugees denied at the border and returned to the United States.

Now, those crossing at unofficial crossings will once again be allowed to enter the country to claim asylum and remain in Canada.

Janet Dench, the executive director of the Canadian Council for Refugees, said the border should never have been closed to refugees in the first place, but was pleased to see it re-opened.

Media Bias and Responsibilities Act

 


 

 

Media Bias and Responsibilities Act I will suggest to the Peoples Party of Canada to add to their platform.  Media Bias mostly left-wing extremist ideology is damaging our country and causing public harm and poisoning minds that is subversive compromising national security.

  Leftist media promotes racial hatred against Euro-Canadians which violates our Constitution and Hate Laws whilst fanning the flames of civil unrest, rioting, damaging public property, leftist violence causing public harm not only causing it but also left-wing media members actively participate in and instigate riots.

For too long the leftist media has been allowed to spread hatred and violence and destroying the fabric of society with their brainwashing a social engineering, using disinformation, outright lies and fabrications with no legal consequences except for civil suits for people that can afford the lawyers. Media must be held accountable to their destructive behaviour by criminalizing harmful to society behaviour. 

The CRTC codes of conduct must also be updated to not go against our true core Canadian Identity, Heritage, culture and values.

Canadian disaster cash bought karaoke machines in the Philippines: audit

This is another good reason to end all foreign aid! Canada First!

 Audits of approved grant applications found nearly one-third had incomplete paperwork, and money meant to help others was used for questionable purchases.

An internal audit of Canada’s department of foreign affairs found paperwork was missing in about 33% of sampled files from 2020, reports Blacklock’s Reporter — also finding that many managers tasked with checking up on projects had little knowledge of what became of taxpayers’ money.

 

One such case studying foreign aid dollars involved supposedly unspent portions of a $20.5 million, four-year commitment to help the Philippines recover from Typhoon Yolanda in 2013 that, according to auditors, was used instead to buy karaoke machines.

Another audit uncovered reports from staff responsible for foreign aid to Afghanistan stating they were under pressure to spend money there — expenditures managers said weren’t having an appreciable impact.

“It was sometimes difficult to find good initiatives in Afghanistan to disburse the amount of money available,” auditors wrote in their report.

“Many other donors also perceived their development assistance spending in Afghanistan as ambitious and exceeding the absorption capacity of Afghan institutions.”

Far-right and white nationalist groups urge followers to support Maxime Bernier’s People’s Party of Canada







By Alex Boutilier Ottawa Bureau
Tue., Sept. 14, 2021
OTTAWA — Far-right and white nationalist groups are pushing their followers to support Maxime Bernier’s insurgent People’s Party of Canada in next week’s federal election.

On the fringes of the internet and in encrypted chat rooms, groups like Canada First and the Canadian Nationalist Front are encouraging their thousands of adherents to back Bernier’s PPC.

While not all People’s Party supporters are motivated by white nationalism or far-right extremism, it is clear that white nationalist and far-right groups view the party as a viable vehicle for their grievance-fuelled politics.


The party, which polls suggest has seen a surge in public support in recent weeks, has found support among some in far-right circles over its opposition to mandatory vaccinations, vaccine passports, and Bernier’s pledge to dramatically curb immigration.

But the party’s anti-establishment pose appears to be the common thread uniting far-right groups behind Bernier.

“Justin Trudeau, Jagmeet Singh and Erin O’Toole may get the grand share of the votes, but they represent nobody other than the system; and we f - - - - - - hate them,” reads one recent post on Canada First’s Telegram channel, which boast nearly 5,000 subscribers.

“Vote PPC, take as much power away from these three shills as you possibly can.”

“Beware of people that sow division, ‘tis the tactic of our leftist enemies to spread disinformation,” reads another from the Canadian Nationalist Front. “Stick to the important issues like immigration reform and economics, ignore the dividers, PPC is the only viable option in the future for our future.”

The best news is Maryam Monsef of the Fiberals is being voted out!

 





The best news is Maryam Monsef of the Fiberals is being voted out! Here in Peterborough it will be Michelle Ferreri that will most likely win for the Cons at over 40% support waaay better and nicer to look at than the Turd's favorite embarassing pet minority! Like calling the Taliban "Our Brothers" fiasco and countless others being demoted and making up a fictional job for her, Buhbye! You are the weakest link! I'm still voting PPC though!

PPC is the only true right wing party that is increasingly viable

 

PPC (People's Party of Canada) is the only true right wing party that is increasingly viable because they are the only party that want to axe the Multicultural Act, ending all multicult funding, immigration reform and better ecenomics.







PPC at 12% as I predicted after the last election that PPC support will increase exponentially with each election. Big jump from the 2 to 3% support from last election when they just formed as a party. In the election after this one they may have a majority government or official opposition. This election they will get some seats and perhaps beat the irrelevant Communist NDP for 3rd place paving the way for a true uncorrupted party not bending the knee to the status quo destroying the fabric of Canada.
