AVCANADA

"As a 100% First Nation owned organization, it is the policy of Wasaya to hire the most qualified candidate for
the position, but to give preference to First Nation candidates, especially those from our owner communities."

So much for equality....if a company posts an ad for something and states they give preference to white people, sure enough they'd get smacked with the racism stick.

I suppose there's probably some act sitting around saying that they can do this, but don't you just love double standards applied to keep minority voters happy?

I like the job ads (not necessarily pilots) where they encourage "disabled or handicapped" people to apply. Sure they can apply, but they probably aren't the most suitable to physically demanding work.

Probably the same thing here. Not saying they don't exist, but I have yet to see an aboriginal pilot.

15. (1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.

(2) Subsection (1) does not preclude any law, program or activity that has as its object the amelioration of conditions of disadvantaged individuals or groups including those that are disadvantaged because of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.

It really burns my britches when I see a company advertise something like this "We are an equal opportunity employer. If you are of a visible minority, race, gender etc etc etc please apply." I call bullshit because this is discrimination in itself and should never be allowed on an application. A company should hire the most qualified person they feel will be able to do the job and that is that. I have no problems with anyone having a job if they are qualified. I have a problem with someone having a job and not being qualified no matter your race, colour, religion etc etc etc.

In the early 90's I went to write the RCMP entrance exam. There were about 20 of us in the room, 4 of whom were female. No one was of visible minority. To paraphrase the constable in the room overseeing the exam, prior to our start clearly stated we gentlemen were wasting our time, with the exception if we did EXTREMELY well, because the RCMP at the time was not hiring white males. He said the women had a chance. Turned out, I did pass the exam, but guess what, I did not make the interview process. Who would of thunk? I would be curious to know how many people I beat in the exam mark that were in the minority that went on to the interview process.

I have no problem with any women being a member of the army, a police force or a fire department or the like. But the physical entrance exam should not be lowered or changed for a 115lbs woman who cannot pull or keep up to what the regular exam constitutes. If I was in a fire unconscious, I don't care who you are but you better be able to pull my limp ass out of there.

Racism is cool if you as long as you are a minority.

I am thinking I should post a aid hiring people of aryan nation heritage, it's a culture not race right???? lol


I vote people should be blind of race/heritage/whatever BS you want to call it or just open the flood gates to all the bigots and racists


This employer should be ashamed of himself for posting this raciest crap

I vote people should be blind of race/heritage/whatever BS you want to call it or just open the flood gates to all the bigots and racists

So Wasaya, First Air, Air Tindi, Canadian North, Kenn Borek Air, Air Labrador, Provincial Airlines, Air Inuit and the EIC gang are all racist companies? They all have a goal of hiring more local people.

I understand your fear, the levels of "aryan" or whatever you want to call it pilots has dropped to an all time low of 93% in Canada.

As an employee of First Air I would take exception of your characterization of Wasaya as the "raciest" company. We are the raciest company of them all! Superfast!

Things are tough all over.

-yes-


If you need to use your race to get a job, its time to hang it up anyway

If you are a employer and are only looking for one race (or culture, whatever) you are a raciest, it's that simple, dont bother trying to blow enough smoke up our collective asses to think otherwise.

Also think about this little tid bit, know anyone who was a slave or was personally alive while their race/tribe was conquered? Know anyone who personally owned slaves or conquered anyone???

NO you dont, because all the slaves, all the slave owners are DEAD, long dead. It's confused overly PC, morons likes these companies that keep racism alive and these people are worst then those skin heads, I cant recall of a time a skinhead caused me to not get a job, but I remember quite a few listings that wont hire me because I'm white.

I have a job and I didnt get it because of my heritage or my skin color, I got it because of my experience and skill and that's how it should be
