Canada’s Wheel of Privilege spins a bureaucratic black hole
The government is stonewalling information on the development of its “Wheel of Privilege and Power,” a diagram ranking individuals by privilege and oppression, raising concerns about transparency, cost, and the tool’s ideological impact on public policy.
In pursuit of transparency, Rebel News recently filed an access to information request to uncover the origins of the Canadian government’s “Wheel of Privilege and Power,” a diagram featured on the Government of Canada’s website that categorizes individuals by perceived privilege and oppression.
This tool, purportedly designed to address systemic inequities, raises questions about its development, cost, and impact on public policy. What was received in response, however, was a masterclass in bureaucratic evasion.
The request was straightforward enough: provide all documents related to the creation and adoption of the Wheel, including costs and staffing details. To streamline the process, the request even waived duplicate emails. Yet, the government’s reply was anything but forthcoming. Citing a “large volume of records” and potential “interference with operations,” they’ve requested an additional 120 days — that’s four months — to respond.
One must wonder: how many bureaucrats were tasked with crafting this diagram, and what sensitive information are they hiding?
According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, the Wheel, inspired by Sylvia Duckworth’s illustration, was adapted to reflect Canadian “intersectionality” factors like race, gender, and wealth. It’s described as a “starting point” for systemic change through an “equity and anti-racism lens.”
In plain terms, it’s a framework to rank individuals by perceived disadvantage, guiding everything from hiring to policy under the guise of transformative “mental model” shifts.
This isn’t just a graphic — it’s a blueprint for ideological reorientation.
Why are Canadian taxpayers footing the bill for this? How many resources were diverted from pressing priorities to debate privilege hierarchies? The government’s delay tactics only fuel suspicion that something is awry. Are they redacting evidence of excessive spending, or concealing the extent of staff involvement in this initiative?
Transparency is a cornerstone of accountability, yet Canadian taxpayers are repeatedly left in the dark.
The Wheel of Privilege and Power is more than a quirky diagram; it’s a tool reshaping governance. Canadians deserve answers about its creation and cost, not bureaucratic stonewalling.

The problem is that those ‘underprivileged’ tax recipients have the right to vote for those who distribute the largesse from the public treasury. They are expected, of course, to vote for their benefactors. The ‘underprivileged’ will soon outnumber all productive tax slaves; the wagon that the recipients are riding on will then self-destruct. -

Bernhard Jatzeck commented 2025-06-17 21:13:19 -0400This “white privilege” guff is little more than an excuse for covetousness. The idea that one can actually earn one’s education, or actually earn or save the money needed for a new motor vehicle or house is not just completely alien, but abhorrent to the left and must result in penalties. The thinking is that there is no such thing as legitimate acquisition of certain things by certain people—theft or favouritism is often cited as the reason.
I encountered that mentality in school and, sadly, at many of the places where I used to work as an adult. -
Bruce Atchison commented 2025-06-17 20:58:26 -0400I don’t understand Robert’s point. This useless wheel took up so much time and effort. It’s the Marxist ideology of oppressor and oppressed. That’s NOT anything to do with Trump’s visit.
Our prime minister’s name should be Marx Carney. He aligns with that ideology. -
Robert Pariseau commented 2025-06-17 18:01:38 -0400White privilege is a myth.
Just look at the security details for Carney and Junior up here, and Biden and Obama down there. Especially look at the kid of detail Trump was saddled with when his ear was nearly blown off.
