Full Version: White guys need not apply
Good God. Stories like this make me want to move to some island where I can't read the news. Fairly discouraging.
I don't see what the problem is. Clearly they just want to have more "tolerance" and "diversity" in their department. Because you know, that's a lot more important than actually taking care of Public Works issues.

They're just doing that to beat back the tide of Americans who moved to Canada after Bush was re-elected 
See, there is your problem. Reading the first paragraph makes it all clear.
OTTAWA -- A federal department is under fire for a "racist" new hiring policy that rejects candidates based on sex and skin colour.
You can discriminate against skin color if you spell color with a "u!"
Then onto the fifth paragraph.
"It's racist and discriminatory," he said. "It's not possible to discriminate in favour of someone on the basis of race without unfairly discriminating against someone because of their race."
Notice the "u" in favor... Little known technicality!

I'm going to wait for the feel good photo op of the Indonesian girl with no arms and no legs running the bucket loader with her teeth. It only took $120,000 to modify the machine. Money well spent, I tell you. Brings a tear to my eye.

Good point. Canada doesn't want those sore losers either.

If that was US dollars, what would that be in Canadian? About 96k?

Once a bucket loader is retro-fitted like that, I would feel cheated if
if my government couldn't sell tickets to watch that to recoup the investment.
I know there are girls in Bangkok that could drive a cement mixer without
hands, don't ask me how I know, I just know it.
