The Recruitment Paradox: The RCMP’s Identity Politics

Published on February 15, 2024

Commentary The RCMP has faced many challenges in recent years, a major one being that its recruitment objectives have fallen short of expectations. Instead of striving to recruit the best candidates, the force favours the governing coalition’s obsession with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Its hiring strategy is akin to that of a school board in Toronto or Vancouver. As many of us are aware, the education sector is the most afflicted by social experiments. This holds true for schools, colleges, and universities. And when a schoolteacher leads a government, the outcome shouldn’t surprise us. We’re looking for high school students in grade 11 who identify as women. If that’s you and you’re curious about a career in public safety, we have a full week’s worth of paid work for you!
