Clockwork Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Good God. Stories like this make me want to move to some island where I can't read the news. Fairly discouraging.
KD in CA Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 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.

ExiledInIllinois Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 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!

It only took $120,000 to modify the machine. Money well spent, I tell you. Brings a tear to my eye.

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.
