The beautifully crafted piece below was written by Frederick Lee Morton, better known as Ted Morton, an American-Canadian politician and former cabinet minister in the Alberta government. A previous member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, he represented the constituency of Foothills-Rocky View as a Progressive Conservative from 2004 to 2012. Morton is currently Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Calgary where he taught and conducted research for many years.

According to the essay’s editorial introduction:

It required nearly 5,000 years of civilization to reach broad agreement that all human beings are created equal and that each of us is entitled to be treated equally without discrimination. It has taken fewer than 30 years to begin casting this aside once more. It would be bad enough if this retrogressive impulse emanated from society’s margins. In fact, treating people differently based on their race, colour, ethnicity or gender is being propounded at the very top – in our universities. Ted Morton, himself a professor for nearly 40 years, reveals the University of Calgary’s blatantly racist and sexist new hiring policies, recently launched under the guise of “equity” and “inclusion.”

I chose to re-post it below with Morton’s kind permission because unequal treatment lies at the heart of all indigenous issues in Canada.
