Walmart dumps DEI programs amid conservative backlash: ‘Biggest win yet’
The world’s biggest retailer isn’t such a fan of DEI efforts any more.
Walmart will be cutting back its “diversity, equity and inclusion” programs and other forms of what conservatives deride as corporate wokeness.
Walmart also agreed to stop using the terms “DEI” and “Latinx” in official communication, to review its marketplace for sexually inappropriate products being marketed as gay material, and no longer consider diversity efforts among its contractors and suppliers.

Decades ago the U.S. had Affirmative Action.
Canada called it Employment Equity.
My former employer calls Diversity, Equity and Inclusion ( DEI ), Equity, Diversity and Inclusion ( EDI ).

In the case of the military (and other govt institutions I’m sure, but this example is of the military), it’s not exactly the same as a corporation though.Typical... government organizations are always lagging behind the private sector, e.g., Why Companies Are Backing Away From DEI Programs

The corporation’s goal is to make profit for its shareholders, and whatever DEI (or not) that helps it do that will be what they pursue.
The military’s goal isn’t to make profit, and having a military that’s demographically wildly different than the country doesn’t really help with recruiting or retention. As others have pointed out previously, Canada only has so many white men from rural areas which are the traditional core of the CAF.

Why should a town cater to their extreme minority cult groups?
These radical pride groups will soon be a distant memory.

Has the CPC said they would stop that? I haven’t heard anything to that effect.
I wouldn’t hold my breath on that.
the town didn't. That is why they got hammered. It is the judge who needs to be taken out to the woodshed

We fly a Ukrainian flag over City Hall and have since 22 Feb 2022. Why? A show of solidarity with those in our community (including a large amount of folks who lost everything in the war) who are hurting and healing.
Its still done for Pride Month, for the same reasons, without it having to be a "minority cult group." There are more LGBTQ2IA+ folks in my city than there are Ukranians, but here we are.
And why do you think that is?
Maybe the erroding of gay/trans/women's rights? The legislative actions taken against the LGBTQ2IA+ community that affects their ability to receive anything from life insurance payouts to healthcare to contraception? The fact that a lot of trans and non-binary folks are going back into the closet because they no longer feel safe in a society that is rolling back protections for them?
The "Rainbow People" aren't going to disappear, like they haven't for the milennia we have existed as a species. They are part of our history, our current society, and will be a continuing voice in the future.

What rights do gay/trans/alphabet groups don’t have that the rest of society do?

Ignore these groups, don’t give them any special treatment, which is all they want, and they’ll disappear.

Are you seriously saying that LGBTQ groups will disappear because we (the general public) don’t see it? That’s like saying sexual assault didn’t happen in the CAF decades ago because no one was willing to bring it up publicly.
As @rmc_wannabe says, being LGBTQ isn’t a new phenomenon.
And why do you think they now enjoy the same rights the rest of society do?
You’re suggesting (correctly) that they now enjoy the same rights, but you’re missing the point that they do so because they pushed for it publicly and convinced laws to change.

Stupid is as stupid does.
There is a reason the mayor and Town of Emo were ordered to provide financial compensation. It's not a complicated matter and is quite simply laid out in the HRTO decision.

Lemme explain it to you (I suspect you know it already and just want to jump on the far left radical band wagon AGAIN)
LGBTQ have all the rights and recognition of everyone else. That means that they also have the right to go do their own damn thing and not worry about whether it affects someone else.
I should bitch because the Irish flag doesn't get flown in the same town and truth be told, they were an oppressed group, like 120 years ago. My Maternal Grandfather is Irish. Times have you know, like moved the fuck on. Like you should.
The rainbow community having equal rights and basically left to live their lives as they chose is fair enough. Get the over it already, I don't see huge crowds of people out threatening to "gay bash" like in 1983.

There are a lot of things the CPC hasn't said they were going to do. So what is your point in this this comment other than to smear the CPC again?

Explain why you think they are stupid? Stupid to me is being quick to attach a label to someone or an organization just because you don't like their decisions. The Human Rights tribunal is not a good standard to go by. Look at its very questionable history.
