Sara Landriault of Kemptville, a town about an hour due south of Parliament Hill.
Brian Lilley writes in the Sun newspapers that she is "A stay-at-home mother trying to re-enter the workforce after nine years away [and she] says she can't understand why the federal government would stop her from applying for a job simply because she is white."
"While surfing on the federal government job website, Landriault says she found a position at Citizenship and Immigration Canada she felt she was qualified for but was blocked from submitting her resume because she was not an aboriginal or visible minority. 'I was flabbergasted,' Landriault said in a telephone interview from her home in Kemptville, Ont., just south of Ottawa. 'It was insane. I'm white, so I can't do it?'"
This, of course, is bullsh*t. Back in 2005, then public works minister and Liberal Scott Brison called his department to task for issuing a memo stating that only certain groups would be hired. The minister was quoted at that point as saying "I support the whole policy of inclusion, but I do not support discriminating against any group in hiring practice."
Then the country voted in the wrong party.
Thanks.

You’d think that the shrieking harridan would want to stay away from a government job after all her years of decrying the civil servants and the “bloated” government. But I guess it’s different when you are a Conservative hypocrite.
ReplyDeleteShe should be asking herself why the private sector can’t supply her with a meaningful job... and if I remember correctly, she had stated that she had gone back to work.
The same Sara Landriault who opposes national childcare plans and prefers the 100$ a month (not including clawback) tax credit instead, if I'm not mistaken.
ReplyDeleteOne and the same; not an angel, er Angel, for certain.

Evidently you didn't read the entire article. The CIC spokeswoman defended the policy.
ReplyDeleteI recall many years ago Bob Rae as Premiere of Ontario defended a similar action but backed down a week or so later because of the backlash.
Uh, Anonymous, I did.
ReplyDeleteMy point was that under the Liberals this insane policy, brought in by Brian Muldoon, would have been rectified.
