Steven Pinker who is the supposed βauthorityβ cited on banning DEI and testified at this HOC committee, was a witness in Jeffrey Epsteinβs defense.

            I would really love to see Canadian media writing about this deeply unethical overreach that is an attack on EDI and will put thousands of Canadian researchers at risk should their confidential information be handed over. Plus, Steven Pinker is involved, that element is concerning enough on its own.

            Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
