I am very concerned about the impact of potential work stoppages at CPKC and CN would have on New Brunswick. Rail connections are vital to local businesses, and to our entire provincial economy.

Today I'm calling on the federal government to intervene to order binding…

A Pakistani web developer accused of spreading fake news that helped foment anti-immigration and anti-Muslim riots after the Southport stabbings has been arrested in the city of Lahore.

Farhan Asif is alleged to have worked for a sensationalist news aggregation website called Channel3Now, which published false reports about the identity of the knife attacker.

In the hours after three girls were killed at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class last month, the site falsely reported that the suspect was "a 17-year-old asylum-seeker" named Ali al-Shakati.

It claimed he had arrived in the UK by boat last year and was on "an MI6 watch list".

The accusation was widely shared on social media and blamed for contributing to riots which raged across the country.

An ITV News investigation last week accused Mr Asif of being a significant figure in the website and operating it from his high-end housing estate in the Pakistani city.

Confronted by journ*lists, Mr Asif denied being responsible for the violence, saying: "I don't know how such a small article or a minor Twitter account could cause widespread confusion.

"Channel3Now mentioned that [the suspect was] a Muslim and an immigrant, but this has no connection to the chaos, which is being caused by people in his own country. If there was misinformation, it could have been addressed calmly. Why was there such an uproar?"

The site has since been shut down.

On Tuesday, police in the Pakistani city of Lahore confirmed they had detained Mr Asif and handed him over to the Federal Investigation Agency.

A senior police official told the Telegraph that Mr Asif had been taken into custody on the accusation of spreading fake news that incited violence.

An official with the Federal Investigation Agency confirmed the Pakistani national, in his mid-30s, had been handed over allegedly inciting violence online.

"He was running a news website. Interrogation is underway," the official said.

"He likely will be charged under the cyber terrorism section of Prevention of Electronic Crime(s) Act and will be produced before the relevant court after the interrogation is completed."

Police sources told Dawn, a leading Pakistani daily, that their own investigations had led them to conclude Mr Asif was not the source of the false news, and he had copied and pasted it from a social media post.

The ITV investigation found that though the Channel3Now internet domain records were anonymous, Mr Asif was listed on records for several linked websites with similar names, layouts and content, including Fox3Now and Fox7Now.

He denied writing the inflammatory article, saying he focused on US crime stories.

He told ITV News: "My understanding is that the article was deleted a day later, or it might have been done even earlier... there was a full article with an apology.

"It stated that it shouldn't have happened, that it was a mistake by our team, and that they have been fired."

"I think four people were fired," he added. "The information search team, consisting of three to four people who worked on it together, were all fired."

Can't say Pakistan would have been my guess lol

!chuds thoughts?

"DEI hire" is a new version of an old insult. For the past 50 years, the term "Affirmation Action hire" hurled the same accusations of ineptitude. Then and now, the goal is to imply that the person is incompetent --- even illegitimate --- whether they are the vice president of the US, the head of the Secret Service, a hypothetical airline pilot, a Supreme Court justice, a mayor, or a college president. The criticism is clear: a DEI hire "Didn't Earn It."

The usual response is to get defensive, insisting that the person's credentials are impeccable, and downplaying their race or gender. But race and gender are not superficial characteristics that can or should be stripped away in order to prove someone's merit. And the reality is that, more often than not, such hires don't lower the bar; *they raise it. *So maybe we should insist that "DEI hire" is a compliment --- even if that's not how it is intended.

DEI's opponents insist that underrepresented or marginalized groups have cheated the hiring process or skipped the line in order to advance. But there's no evidence that's true.

To be clear, the opposite of diversity is not meritocracy. It's homogeneity. And homogeneity, not diversity, is what tends to lower the bar. Homogeneity allows employers to remain too comfortable with the status quo and lets workers succumb to groupthink and other decision-making traps.

In homogenous companies, White leaders tend to be evaluated by less rigorous standards; they're seen more favorably when they succeed and penalized less harshly when they fail. And in organizations with fewer Black leaders, Black employees tend to have more fairness concerns and be more skeptical about whether their organizations will act honestly and ethically.

In contrast, diversity, equity and inclusion raise the standard for performance. Diversity --- whether of race, politics or gender --- has been found to enhance group problem-solving and decision-making. Racially diverse juries deliberate more thoughtfully. Politically diverse debate teams prepare more diligently. Mixed-gender teams of scientists are more likely to produce breakthroughs. Exposure to people from different backgrounds leads teammates to pause, question their assumptions, and explore better ways to proceed. This has a measurable impact on outcomes, and has been shown to improve on-the-job learning, innovation and even safety.

Inclusion matters too. There are decades of studies showing that when employees feel more included, they contribute more of themselves and their ideas. Workers of all backgrounds are more committed to teams and organizations that they believe operate fairly. And when organizations actively seek to reduce bias in hiring and promotion, it results in a more level playing field for everyone.

And there's yet another reason DEI tends to raise the bar: Leaders from historically underrepresented and excluded backgrounds must jump over hurdles of bias. These obstacles get a lot of attention from scholars like me, and the evidence on racial and gender bias is robust and consistent. It can also be dispiriting. But there's a positive spin to put on it, too: Those who do get ahead often possess extraordinary qualifications.

Is it fair to expect women or people of color to be not only as good as a White man, but better? That's a heavy burden. People like former Xerox CEO Ursula Burns and media mogul Oprah Winfrey represent rare, trailblazing success that many leaders try to emulate, but few replicate. And the pressure to perform better than everyone else contributes to mental and physical health complications, which can undermine performance.

Yet those who succeed can achieve exceptional outcomes. Their presence is expansive, redefining what leadership can look like and broadening the possibilities for everyone. For example, runner Allyson Felix ensured the first on-site childcare facility for athletes at the 2024 Olympics. Thasunda Brown Duckett, CEO of TIAA, has advocated for a series of financial reforms that would help the 40% of Americans who haven't been able to save for retirement. Tennis legends Serena and Venus Williams have fought for pay equity for female players and invested in 85 companies, including 14 unicorns, largely led by underrepresented founders.

So there's nothing wrong with intentionally bringing diversity, equity and inclusion to the table. In fact, it's exactly what's needed. So when someone accuses me of being a "DEI hire," I will respond with thanks, knowing that I've "Definitely Earned It."

TLDR:

>Be rich corrupt frick.

>Say that you're different from all other private Hospital system CEOS because you're actually an MD

>Cant afford to pay for the land your Masshole Hospitals are on because you're embezzling funds.

>Cant even afford suppiles in several other hospitals

>MD, RNS, etc, say "frick this shit" and leave en mass.

>A few hospitals close and many are laid off.

>"I DECLARE BANKRUPTCEH"

>Feds investigate.

It seriously takes alot to look at what HCA did and say "Hold my beer"

I had been working at a South Florida Hospital that was eventually bought by Steward, they used to be owned by Tenet Health. I worked there fulltime for five years before the Steward Acquisition and then things nosedived from "meh" to complete shit. Couldn't put my two weeks in fast enough.

Redditors have done a good job of documenting this shitshow here.

And are you sure you want to talk leadership race discrepancies with us, given the UCP’s record on this?

Because we’d be happy to talk about that. 😊 https://t.co/Sb9P5H8NTY
