The other parties actively support this type of program. The current party has left the policy in place because the constitution actually has this racist policy in it. But, there can be active enthusiastic support for racist hiring policies and lacklustre support. Trust me, if there is race/gender based hiring and promotion in the massive federal government civil service, it is against the desires of the present governing party while it will be enthusiastically supported by the others.AirMail wrote:

Here is a recent article about the Ontario Liberal party's ad about creating jobs that 8 typical people represented(but no white males). http://www.torontosun.com/2013/07/22/wh ... liberal-ad
Here is a recent article about the Ontario Liberal government tagetting people who "self-identify as a black female" for promotion. I would assume that this includes ORNGE and affects you directly. http://www.torontosun.com/2014/01/16/on ... -promotion
Here is the exact quote for an Ontario job program under the old NDP government in Ontario from 1993 that got a lot of attention at the time for a "director of information technology" (a senior management position) in its JobMart. The ad went as follows:
"The competition [for this position] is limited to the following employment equity designated groups: aboriginal peoples, francophones, persons with disabilities, racial minorities and women."
Vote for fairness in hiring.
It is your career after all.
