Implementing Diversity and Inclusion: "Because It's 2015..."

Canada’s 2015 election provided a sharp contrast between the social cohesion focus of the Conservative party and its use of identity politics, and the Liberal party’s emphasis on diversity and inclusion. The overall shift to the Liberals was particularly strong among new Canadian voters, reflecting a mix of the overall shift to the Liberals in this election, perceived anti-immigrant bias and identity politics, and lack of support for Conservative restrictive citizenship and immigration policies. In power, the Liberals implemented their diversity and inclusion commitment through, Cabinet and other appointments. This short book provides data and related analysis with respect to the election results, political representation and other leadership positions. With over 40 charts and tables, Because it’s 2015 … is an invaluable reference for those interested in Canadian politics and diversity.
