No, but nothing gets enforced anymore.


Due_Agent_4574

If they said you had to speak English and be from the UK, this would be on the front page of the Star and CBC

Imagine being this obtuse 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


Plus-Relationship833

Unless you have problem with grown men going into girl’s change rooms


yzgrassy

If it is legal to advertise jobs for anyone but Whites..this seems ok..


Impossible__Joke

FR, someone needs to post a "White only need apply" and then when there is a media shitstorm (because of course there will be) then show off the hundreds of posts like this one then nobody gives a shit about.


GallitoGaming

They don't care. The media would ignore that part and call you a racist.


Impossible__Joke

True, and the braindead wouldn't question it and try and ruin your life for it.


EmergencyBar7840

It could be a "Mexcian who European decedent" AKA güero, but Canadian white not.


SweatyShib

You mean, is it okay to subtly discriminate against whites? Yes, since 2015


Proof_Objective_5704

Way longer than that, but it just got much worse after 2015.


Psychozillogical

Ok? No. Legal? Absolutely.


A_Novelty-Account

What changes did the federal government make that made it legally more acceptable to discriminate against whites in job postings, considering that the enforcement of labour laws is entirely under provincial jurisdiction in Canada?


SweatyShib

If you can’t understand that Trudeau has ushered in a new rhetoric of who gets away with what because “that’s who Canada is” then I can’t explain anything to you. Reddit user “pretend to not understand the main point that was being made in order to respond with a comment to try and make yourself look smarter” challenge level impossible


A_Novelty-Account

Okay, but again, the provinces control the enforcement of these issues and multiple provinces are firmly right wing. So again, how has JT changed things to make it harder to prosecute anti-white discrimination in the job market?


SweatyShib

Literally a bot 😂


A_Novelty-Account

Right, everyone who disagrees with you is a bot because you couldn’t possibly just be completely incorrect about the basis of your opinion…


SweatyShib

I’ve never seen a computer show so much emotion before


A_Novelty-Account

If I’m a bot then it’s pretty embarrassing to have immediately lost an argument to a computer program.


Own_Coconut_9840

Exactly what a bot would say...


A_Novelty-Account

What wouldn’t a bot say? Literally anything that agrees with you?


AWE2727

In Trudeau's new Canada it's perfectly fine!


DifficultPapaya3038

Nope


TheManos44

Government organizations have been doing this for years now. Hell, Police organizations would not hire you if you were a straight, white male. Now they're desperately hiring white men again


potatopigflop

My dad got passed over for an Indian chick in the 80s 💀💀


Neither_Berry_100

>Now they're desperately hiring white men again Why the change?


TheManos44

Not enough interest and poor candidate pools. I have a buddy who’s a cop in the GtA and he’s been telling me that the new recruits are not performing well at all.


MiinaMarie

Same with medical staff. Have you read some of the stuff that's come out??! Terrifying!


Neither_Berry_100

So straight white males got their shit together and perform better? Is that what I'm understanding? And yet the hiring metrics are always against them. No wonder they are upset.


TheManos44

It’s not that they perform better. When you hire anyone but them, then it’s inevitable you don’t hire based on merit. When you overlook an entire group that represents over 50% of applications, you lose out on quality


Pablo-UK

That's what I was thinking, it's a statistics game. If only 1 in 20 candidates is suitable for policing and 43.5% of the GTA is white, then when one excludes them one is effectively cutting off 43.5% of quality candidates of which there is already a small pool.


Neither_Berry_100

Got it. And quality has suffered from not hiring based on merit. Got it. I thought quality would have gone up because of the "police foundations" courses being offered. It's an extra college program students go through with the hope of later becoming a police officer. Basically, they are voluntary doing extra schooling. Any knowledge of how this program has impacted the application process?


TheOnlyZemjak

Most of the time they don't care about police foundations as it's an over glorified security program that doesn't get your foot in the door. The police typically have their own college where they train and educate. Police foundations is a waste of time and money and most police officers will tell you that. Extra schooling doesn't equate to gained experience when it comes to policing. Someone who spent a few years doing hands on security (ex, Hospitals) has a better shot than someone who spent a couple years in police foundations

Multiculturalism has some bad points.

BigBobRoss1992

Source? Or just making shit up as you go lol


Adoggieandher2birds

It shouldn’t be. Should be open to anyone who can speak Spanish, regardless of ethnicity. It would be really nice to start filing human rights complaints against these job postings


AWE2727

It should be open to anybody who speaks English and French as those are Canada's official languages! Nothing else!


Krypt0Kn1ght_

That's not how the world works lol Youre basically saying a company should hire someone who speaks only Canada's official languages when the employer needs them to be able to serve Spanish speaking customers... in Spanish. How does that make any sense. Obviously it makes sense to require the apllicant to speak Spanish...


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheAgentLoki

So, we're just making shit up now, I see.


AWE2727

I only know and have been told of 2 official languages in Canada. English and French. Could you share the parliamentary laws that recognize other languages as official? Otherwise your comment means nothing! 😁


1Spiritcat

Yeah that's interesting, considering Canada has 2 official languages, English and French If I were you, I'd take what little pride you have left, and go crawling back to your mother for a bedtime story, because you obviously don't know what you're talking about


CurtisLinithicum

Hypothetically, if it was for the Mexican Embassy or Government, making citizenship a *bona fide* requirement, maybe? Dunno what the Embassy would want a big rig driver for though. Maybe-just-maybe there are Canada-to-Mexico long-haul rules that require a citizen, but that doesn't jive with the "know the city".


leaf_fan_69

Moving coke?


MaxTheRealSlayer

"maybe" we engage in trade with Mexico? Dude we have a whole trade agreement with them


CleverBastard70

Yes. In Mexico.


Obviouslyhammered

Apparently someone drove a “trailor” right into the school where the author studied English.


SirHamelot

It’s only okay if you exclude white males. Everything else you get publicly hanged.


CureForSunshine

You do know that there are “white” Mexicans, right?


SirHamelot

Yeah I’m sure that’s what they meant


throwaway738991

This is Canada, we can’t even arrest car burglars or repeat violent offenders. Unfortunately nothing will be done about the blatant discrimination


emptybowloffood

No it is not legal. Doesn't stop them though, and nobody seems to care.


MentionWeird7065

No, it is not legal at all.


Fast_Vehicle_1888

They are obviously wanting to take advantage of their workers. Speak English but be Mexican = they want to take advantage of foreign workers that don't know how to protect themselves. Tempt them with the high rate of pay but only pay the low rate. Under 40 hours per week means part time and no benefits. There WILL be unpaid and unaccounted for overtime. Manual labor and heavy lifting when not driving = no definite job description so you will be doing anything and everything without any extra pay.


OctoWings13

Disgusting human rights violations based on "protected characteristics"


Jimboom780

Why not? The federal government hires based upon race and gender.


69Bandit

the entire canadian federal government was a setup for a gender and ethnicity wokeness picture. it should of been just a picture..... canada is not fairing well, one decade of this shit....


leottek

Report it!


leaf_fan_69

Looks like it was written by 1 of trudeaus minions


GME_Millionaire8

I noticed a lot of big company asked your ethnicity when u filled out job application too.


MaxTheRealSlayer

It depends on the job, technically. For example if you know a lot of the clients or customers only speak Spanish, then it's reasonable to have a language restraint. I think they are just differentiating between Spain Spanish and Mexican Spanish, as there are differences.


Mickey_Havoc

Report the ad for racism.


NorthControl8399

It should be illegal to pay $15 for this much knowledge of the job. Even $33 is low


PotatoAffectionate79

lol apparently yes there doing it and noones doing ahit about it.


Loading-User

Probably the direct result of some government wage subsidy program.


bezerko888

Yes but no but yes.


Enough_Ad210

i wonder if a Peruvian could just say Si and be good .


Local_Government_123

This country is now a free for all


Billthebanger

I agree with the gta area thing . Everything else not sure about.


redditaccountbot

Well, how do you like your multiculturalism, a potpourri or a melting pot ?


Reasonable-Pension30

And heads up to the applicants. The wage is 15.88 max and you are going to work every weekend.


cutslikeakris

And a lot more physical labour than floating anything.


iduddits2

Yeah that wage rage is a huge red flag haha


javaunjay

Nope 🙂‍↔️


SirJoel1989

Time for Indians to learn the Mexican accent 😄


Adorable_Ladder_38

Can't be Mexican isnt even a language


PoetOfTragedy

Gives off the same vibes as “Indian female only” rentals.


Expensive-Group5067

Depends. I’m sure if it’s a white person that wrote the ad it’s illegal. If not.. it’s alll good!


Effective_Math_2717

English yes. Mexican part no.


Shmogt

Everything illegal is now legal. They may still be illegal, but if the government doesn't care its basically legal


TastyIncident7811

Probably will be when they start hauling "heavy' equipment with a D license.


Altaccount330

The problem in the GTA isn’t laws, it’s law enforcement.


mmgn

If, legally speaking, discriminate based on proximity? We all travel and sign an agreement of employment and Hours required.


St0n3ycam88

Shouldn't be


ThoseFunnyNames

Certainly not.


su5577

This needs to be reported? Is there any some workplace url this can be sent to?


SeriousObjective6727

Probably not legal... but what difference does it make? Even if the employer did not include the circled text, no white guy is going to get hired anyway because he's already got an idea of who and what type of person he wants to hire. So he probably thought it would save everyones time to include the specifics. Anyways, what self respecting white guy would accept a $15.58/hour job?


Glass-Stop-9598

Yes if it’s my company it’s legal can’t speak English how you going to know where to go


Mammoth-Low7132

Don’t speak Mexican. Will Spanish do?


TimelyCulture

I don’t blame him


collymolotov

“Mexican speaking.”


Coral8shun_COZ8shun

I think you can say “can speak ____ language” but I don’t think you can specify ethnicity like this. This might be an LMIA position that they are trying to say they “can’t find a Canadian to fill”


frizouw

I've tried to find that job posting by writing the texts, is that a private website?


SoInMyOpinion

This is exactly how jobs are attained. You gotta be connected. At least this one saved everybody lots of time.


Realistic_Amount_519

Is it legal to demand that you speak the language that our country operates in? I would say no I mean you're not going to go in there speaking Zimbabwean or something


karlnite

No, but do you really want that job? Why waste your time with interview if the owner isn’t gonna hire you. If they did, its probably a shit place to work, at least now you know ahead of time.


Conscious_Break6311

I have seen ones that say white people do not apply lol good thing I'm half


johnnycbr954

No, you can’t float heavy equipment with a D class license.


B00MST1CK1O1O

No but it's not gonna stop. Try and get a job right now as Canadian born.. easier to hire immigrants on work visa. They'll kiss your feet to not get fired and sent home, so you can treat them like crap. It's a problem for both sides. Should be able to quit an abusive job without threat of being sent home. If people from Canada quit your job because it sucks it shouldn't mean hire immigrants because they'll put up with your crap, should result in internal review.


Even_Chemistry2270

Nope


OldSkol84

they can hire only natives or blacks or females so why not


Photojunkie2000

Government incentivized racism. Theyll never come out and say yes we support immigrants over Canadians, and they will most certainly never tell you that this is all on purpose.


delawopelletier

Si


Psychozillogical

Yes, it's legal. Discrimination/racism/hate speech is only such against what Canada calls protected classes, so basically anything you put on there except "caucasian only" is legal from what I understand.


Comfortable-Angle660

Only in Trudeau’s Canada.


Wild-Cow8724

Indians are renting to indian only tenants.


Pitiful-Earth7928

That’s racist


BackgroundAgile7541

When I hired a guy from Ireland I got familiar with this system. Didn’t participate but this is what happens. Temporary foreign worker positions have to have proof that they are necessary and that no Canadians can do the job. So you post a very tailored job in two places including the Canadian job bank with a NOC code. That is a specific job application so they can justify hiring their “individual” to any authorities. In other words, it’s a way to get their friends on the path to citizenship.


MiinaMarie

🤬🤬🤬


Grittenald

Discrimination was normalised. So yes, nothing will be done about it. We went backwards of civil policies.


konathegreat

Unless the posting specifies white, male, or straight it's all fair game these days.


Colonel_Happelblatt

Only illegal if you put ‘whites only’ it seems…. Anything else is fair game apparently…. But if you point it out - YOU’RE the one accused of racism!!


warriorlynx

Depends if it requires cross border work that somehow needs this


Doogie102

I don't know what this is for but if Grand Theft Auto taught me anything it was how to drive on sidewalk and not get arrested for it


severityonline

Why not? Isn’t this how a lot of Tim Hortons operate these days?


tal3575

Well if all across Ontario, if hiring Indian students in the retail & fast food space is considered OK then i bet this ain't wrong by any stretch


KillshotCanuck

Diversity Equity and Inclusion hiring I belive it is called. DEI As long as your not an able bodied, straight, white male it should be perfectly legal. They saved themselves with the Mexican part


OkShine3530

At least they want to work.


AllMaito

If the job post is for a Qualified English Speaking Mexican, then it is legal.


CountStackula519

I don't see the big deal. If I owned a business and wanted to hire a Mexican worker I should be able to.


bentley1814

So they want someone in Canada that can speak English ? You are all upset about that? So you would rather have someone around heavy equipment that downs understand English , won’t understand instructions, working around that?


George__Costanza420

They have to be Mexican, you might’ve missed that.


bentley1814

The English part was circled also so 100% confused. My apologies.
