I am pretty sure that somewhere in the survey intro I promised to protect your anonymity.

In all seriousness, one of the main purposes of survey research is to help contextualize the voices we hear in the public sphere (media, politics).

There must be a backlash and you're just not measuring it properly. The National Post told me so. Have you tried breaking it down further? Maybe look at 60-year old dudes named Matt? I'm sure you can find a backlash if you look hard enough.

If most concerns about DEI are around hiring practices, it would seem a survey of employees only would have a sampling bias, no?

I think (a) some concerns are about opportunities to advance (promotion) and (b) those who may feel they are being held back are likely to be employed somewhere, even if not in the job they most wanted.

The same general question was asked to everyone. But the breakdown between those who report a disability and those who do not is the same in general as the one reported here - those without a disability are more neutral but not really that much more opposed.

Looks like they missed polling the crucial demographics of CEOs who wish Canada was more like the USA.
