Talk about writing an article " after the horse is out of the barn" ??? Everybody was aware of these problems years before Rosen's retrospective!!!!:mad:
He's been yelling holy murder for years.
 
I say hang Lord Black and slap him with the Financial Post. By far one of the worst.. ahem... newspapers out there.

Where do you think he should be slapped (on his ass or his peepee). Maybe they could sentence him to listen to Rosen whine for a while.
 
You want racism? Go to Quebec and apply for a job with the Quebec government or Hydro Quebec and see how far you go. :rolleyes:
 
My orginal den was located on the east side of the Ottawa River. Could I qualify for a job with the Quebec Gov't? Yes I am bi-bearable.

It depends on your skin colour and your last name.

Quebec's civil service is 99.5% pure laine francophone.

If I remember correctly, the province's ethnic minority makes up about 20% of the total population.

Hardly fair if you ask me.

If you're a black bear forget it.
If you're a Grizzly you can still forget it.

But if you're a polar bear, you are hired dammit!!! :D
 
Wow! Esco you were right. How did this thread go from being about Conrad Black to Corey's clearly racist stereotypical rant about not getting a job in Quebec.

Lots of crap but again no proof.

Haven't we seen enough racist crap on this board?

Corey, you don't have to go far to see racists. Just go look in the mirror.

It became a race issue because people want to know: is Conrad Black?

Proof??? What the hell do you think Quebec nationalism is all about???
 
In their eyes Self-Determination?

The Canadian Human Rights Code still applies to Quebec businesses and governments

Can you prove the "99.5%" quote? No, I ddin't think you could. Bigot

Quit using a broad brush.

He's a former prof. at Schulich and he's a god to many of the students he's taught.

Okay, I was wrong it's 1% of the population. Still hardly representative of the population as a whole.

Here's a bit of proof: "In a brief last year to a National Assembly committee studying a new equity in hiring bill, English-speakers lobby group Alliance Quebec noted that less than one percent of civil service jobs - about 400 - are held by anglos, while they account for over 14 percent of Quebec's population."

The Quebec government has acknowldged the discrepancy. I could find more in the Montreal Gazette archives but I don't have an account.

Did you know Chinese signs are illegal in Montreal's Chinatown? There are two reasons why no one makes a fuss about it right now.

Make it legal and you get the language bigots out of the woodwork. Enforce it and you've the national and international media all over it.

My apologies to Esco for going off track.

Leafs good! Black bad!
