Canada Ping.

Please FReepmail me to get on or off this Canada ping list.

"...the order was prompted in part by a precipitous drop in the number of employees hired from the designated groups this year.

Might it be that members of the designated groups have little interest in working?

[thoughtomator]

Maybe they were already soaked up by other similiarly racist organizations.

[Dont Mention the War]

How much longer can this insanity be sustained before Canada breaks apart? They may not make it to the end of the decade, at this rate.

My name is Zabuumba and I'll be designing the new highway.

So, Public Works is both sexist and racist. How interesting.

Walk into just about any government agency and tell me what you see. It certainly won't be a majority of white males.

When I walk into my local DMV, it looks like you're walking into an international airport in Lisbon. The last time I did, I noted two whites in a room with about 250 people in it.

Ah yes, the blessings of diversity. Surrender today... LOL

[fanfan]

LOL.

Just give him a parka, and he'll be ready for work.

Oh, wait....does he speak French?

[calrighty]

Public Works is a living entity which is racist, sexist, and homophobic. I thought everyone knew this.

[fanfan]

All this time I thought it was us conservatives who were supposed to be sexist and racist.

Who knew it was the liberals?

[A knight without armor]

LOL! LOL! LOL! and LOL!

And he even has a "model city" just like an engineer!

[ElkGroveDan]

Oh, wait....does he speak French?

He doesn't need to. They assigned him to Lethbridge, Alberta. Unfortunately he doesn't speak English either.

Managers in the Public Works department must hire only visible minorities, women, aboriginals and the disabled, except with written permission from their superiors, David Marshall, the deputy minister, ordered in an e-mail circulated yesterday.

Aboriginals??!?

[pabianice]

Old news. In 1991 I was verbally hired for a job with the FAA, then told I could not have the job because they had been ordered not to hire any more white men until they "had more women and people of color." A woman with 1/3 my experience and qualifications was given the job as an Aviation Safety Inspector.

Thank you, Goerge H.W. Bush.

[ElkGroveDan]

Aboriginals??!?

I think in Canada that's the PC word for Eskimos.

Here they are discussing the location of Ottawa's new water treatment facility.

[Lazamataz]

The one on the second-from-left does not look happy.

Interestingly, gender-based discrimination against males isn't illegal within the matriarchal socialist republic of Kanuckistan ... however if the words 'homosexual' or 'Muslim' had been included .... well !!!

Another triumph for the socialist-imposed alleged 'Charter of Rights & Freedoms'!
Another mockery of our forbearers' many sacrifices - especially laying down their lives for freedom's cause!

"Oh Canada, you get what you deserve..."

I'd defy you to find even a single Canadian conservative who ever said this about Americans in relation to either of the vile Clintons - moron!
