Internal e-mail reveals hiring ban at Public Works

Tom Blackwell , National Post
Published: Saturday, November 19, 2005

A major federal department (Ontario, Canada) has temporarily banned the hiring of able-bodied white men in an unusual move critics say could spark a backlash against the very disadvantaged groups it is meant to help.

Managers in the Public Works department must hire only visible minorities, women, aboriginals and the disabled, except with written permission from their superiors, David Marshall, the deputy minister, ordered in an e-mail circulated yesterday.
The policy, designed to address shortfalls in the department's employment-equity goals, will last at least until the end of next March and be reviewed then, the memo said.

"As executives and managers, our role includes ensuring that the public service is representative," Mr. Marshall said in the memo. "This involves providing direction and leadership by example, and demonstrating a firm commitment to an inclusive workplace(unless you're white, of course)."

Canadian Human Rights Act

Section 8) It is a discriminatory practice

(a) to use or circulate any form of application for employment, or

(b) in connection with employment or prospective employment, to publish any advertisement or to make any written or oral inquiry

that expresses or implies any limitation, specification or preference based on a prohibited ground of discrimination.

1976-77, c. 33, s. 8.

You can discriminate in Canada, but only against white people. Hell, the government does it quite regularly.

We even discriminated against seniors up until 2006, before mandatory retirement was abolished.

Having been a very involved copywriter on Ford's advertising campaign trail I can tell you that properly targeted letter writing to their corporate head office will bring hell down on this dealer. Ford doesn't like bad press, especially in the face of an ever strengthening Japanese car market in the US. A few letters, and they will say it's not our issue, the dealer is independent. Remind them in the letter that the dealer is using the Ford's name in vain and you will see action. I've already written my letter; although, ever since quitting their brand over the F-150 ball-joint issue, I've written a few letters to these guys.

What will they teach? I haven't seen any science surrounding ID. If they want to teach it in science class I don't think strong opinion is testable in lab or essay form. There is also the problem of explaining the evolution of the intelligent designer, what are its origins, how did it evolve, who is it and where is the evidence? Even if our genes turn out to be the extension of a more intelligent being it still doesn't answer the origin, or demonstrate progression from designer to independent life from. I can only see an argument that is based around imaginary holes in evolution and not actual evidence to support ID. Silly subhumans.

Comment #176369 by aquilacane on May 7, 2008 at 8:01 am

I guess this is good, but it will probably still do more to make people ignorant of how evolution works with language like this:

Eyes are one of evolution's most useful and prevalent inventions (evolution does not invent)

Dinosaurs adapted their eyes to become such successful hunters of prey (Dinosaurs did not adapt their eyesto hunt prey, they can hunt prey because their eyes adapted. Their eyes adapted them in other words)

Tiny early mammals developed night vision to populate the night as a survival technique (There is no such thing as a survival technique. Survival is a byproduct of evolution. In other words, tiny mammals could populate the night because night vision developed, thus surviving)

learn how primates underwent several adaptations to their eyes to better exploit their new habitat (Primate eye adaptation
didn't happen to better exploit their habitat, they could better exploit their habitat because eye adaptation occurred)

The ability to see colours helped them find food (got this right)

They evolved for a common reason - to give these animals a critical edge in interspecies warfare. (There is no reason to evolve only a cause of evolution. The byproduct of which is survival)

key innovations that have driven nature's evolutionary arms race from the dawn of life to today (innovation requires intelligence. I don't think supporting ID is the goal of this piece; however.)

To illustrate our and our fellow species' eternal struggle for survival on earth (We don't struggle to survive, survival is neither positive or negative in the eyes of genes; however, it is hard to study genes that cause death because they don't last, so we are left with the only alternative, which is to study genes that have resulted in the byproduct of survival. We have merely assumed that this means there is intent to survive, but that's impossible unless you follow the ID model)

11. The emerging moral psychology

Comment #175586 by aquilacane on May 5, 2008 at 4:30 pm

"Greene interprets these different activation patterns, and the relative difficulty of making a choice in the Footbridge Problem, as the sign of conflict within the brain. On the one hand is a negative emotional response elicited by the prospect of pushing a man to his death saying "Don't do it!"; on the other, cognitive elements saying "Save as many people as possible and push the man!" For most people thinking about the Footbridge Problem, emotion wins out; in a minority of others, the utilitarian conclusion of maximising the number of lives saved."

First of all, no one in this position would have time to think, so the test is faulty. I doubt any of the people who said they would push the man would have pushed the man. I doubt they would have considered the man as a suitable object for stopping a runaway cart, it is after all a man. Once the option of pushing the man is planted; however, only then do they consider it and take time to think about it, of course, the cart would have raced past by now and it wouldn't have mattered.

There is also the problem that we did not evolve with the ability to kill a person at the push of a button or flick of a switch, we had to use our hands. We don't associate button pushing as killing quite the same way we do throttling a person to death, I expect you could ask a fighter pilot, especially one who has killed with their hands.

As well, if I'm seen pushing the man I cannot say I didn't do it, if I flick a switch I can say I didn't realize what would happen. Each step between the cause and effect separates us from ownership. Self preservation surely plays a role, I can hear the excuses in my head. I figured the cart was going to fast and would crash from the abrupt change, I did everything I could, blah blah blah. You can't talk your way out of pushing someone off a bridge though.

Comment #169447 by aquilacane on April 26, 2008 at 5:57 am

I was probably my most verbally abusive with the religious in grade eight. My father had died a few years earlier. That really strengthened my atheism making me extremely sensitive to any religious influence. I refused to sing Christmas carols in music class (the teacher did not know what to do). I would stand outside of the school during the lords prayer. Any time any teacher ever made a ref. to god, I would ask for proof, or tell them to shut up. If this teacher had branded me with a cross when I was in grade eight, I probably would have killed him were he stood. And I mean that. I would have made every effort to throttle him to death. Today I would only beat him to within an inch of his life. Oh how the wisdom of age tempers our hand in the fog of furry.

15. Responses to 'Gods and Earthlings' by Richard Dawkins

"In the end, he, like everyone else, must confront one of two choices: Either the universe has always existed, or it was created by someone who has always existed."

I don't really agree with this statement, but if I were confronted with only two choices, I would probably chose eternal existence for the one that I actually know exists (universe). I don't see a need to create a second level of complexity based on nothing but opinion with an even less likely chance of it ever being explained.

Besides, if god's plan is so grand and beyond human contemplation, everyone (including theologians) should be hell bent on discovering what science can teach us about everything else we can know (that's only if god's will can not be known, of course).

Why we wear the clothes, makeup, and other sexual attractants that we do is pretty much a basic social forms of sexual solicitation.

When a women or man get dressed up and go out on the town they are displaying their sexual capability and readiness. There is only ever a problem when an unsuitable caller makes a call. Unfortunately he or she are merely responding to the advertisement as any interested person would. To put a child in the position of inviting interested parties is asinine.

No one else cared that any of us were there, except the 5 or 6 drunk rugby players I was with. They just laughed at me. I felt sad for the kid after I sobered up a bit.

I actually remember being born, and I can tell you there is a big difference 1 day after birth. I can remember exact sentences and words from before I was 6 months old. I can totally recall a vacation to Quebec at three months and can still see the lobster we ate, and I remember crying because I didn't get any. That's a huge difference in levels of cognition and intelligence with a pig. Never mind the fact that as a human baby the potential for far greater cognition and intelligence is present.

SweatyPalmSunday, if when you look at a young child, a baby, and you are not driven to protect it at all cost, by instinct, save perhaps the cost of your own life, I fear you have suppressed something very important. If you choose instead to kill that child for the inconvenience that you yourself caused, I would surely be at the hilt of the blade about your throat.

I cannot conceive of a reason why you should willingly kill an otherwise healthy child in a time of general peace and prosperity, and with so much available outside support. An accidental suffocation in a time of high anxiety, perhaps while being chased by dogs and the Lynch-man, ok, you just want to keep the little bastard quiet to save your ass. Mistakes happen. But I can guarantee you that the failures of others (the Greeks in this case) are a poor excuse for your own failures. Smarten-up, you can be rational and emotional or just rational and in denial of your emotions.

A few big problems here:

How would a teacher know if the student was right, unless the teacher was educated in that child's specific religion?

Will all teachers be required to know all religions?

By what method will a teacher explain to the children how the same question can have two or more correct answers?

What will the state do with intelligent children who see this as false and refuse to comply?

How ridiculous an answer is permissible as long as it has religious affiliation?

Will any evidence be required to support the religious opinion?

Can a child refuse to answer any and all questions due to religious dogma and still recieve a passign grade.

Must the child answer in their parents religion, or are they permitted to chose their own religion with which to answer the question?

For a better chance at getting the question right, can a child reference multiple religions providing more than one answer to each question?

Is a child permitted to change their religious views to suit the question?

Must the child's opinion be of an organized religion or is the child free to use any religious opinion including their own invented religion?

Since religious opinion can not be questioned, will all answers be deemed correct so long as they are of a religious nature?

If the childs answer is not in keeping with their parent's (or their) religion will it be deemed incorrect or can the child claim their religion to be an offshoot (variant) of the parent religion?

What do teachers teach if the answers are up to the children to provide. Will class be nothing more that questions you take home and fill in based on the bible?
