The National Post reports:

Despite a growing gender gap on Canadian campuses, universities are balking at a fledgling movement in the United States to make special efforts to attract more men, such as adopting affirmative action initiatives that favour male applicants over female ones.

Campus recruiters and admissions managers from Memorial University of Newfoundland to the University of British Columbia in Vancouver say they are taking no extra steps to target male students.

Confirmation that affirmative action is not about equality, but discriminating against men. Over here in the UK it is called "positive discrimination", meaning that discriminating against us is a good thing. Still, at least it is a more honest description of this blatanty illegal practice
