Lindsay Shepherd has written an interesting article, asking whether many jobs in Metro Vancouver should be inaccessible to those who don’t know Mandarin or Cantonese:
While many companies and organizations are openly seeking Mandarin or Cantonese-speaking employees, they don’t seem to want to explain why the employees must speak one of these two languages.
Albert Lo of the Canadian Race Relations Foundation has previously stated that when an employer is insisting on a language requirement, they might actually be using the language requirement as a cover for ethnic discrimination.
Well, that is what the French requirement for government jobs is; to ensure that only the pure wool gets to lap up the public gravy.
Either Trudeau will not fight this at all, or Horgan will use not withstanding. Either way, CBC will not know who’s water to carry. There will be no way to serve both masters.
Is it legal? If it isn’t, it doesn’t bother academe. In the university department where I did my Ph. D., it seemed that most of the grad students and almost all the newly-hired faculty were Chinese. That was nearly 20 years ago. It’s probably worse now.
“you want flies with that”!!!!
lol!!!
‘flies’ NOT a typo . . .
jeez rev 13;18, you musta gone to one of those greasy spoons in Chinatown Tranna.
I hope British Columbians get pushed into the mountains where they can be at one with their wonderful trees and rivers and fruits and nuts, like the hillbillies they are.
Damn! Spot on!
Cheap, clannish, heartless, convinced they are a master race chosen by Heaven to rule the world, and determined to enslave the rest of mankind—and rid the world of Christianity for good measure.
The Chinese are everything generations of Jew-haters accused the Jews of being and far, far worse besides.
That’s why our masters adore them so much, even giving them special dispensation to solve Xinjiang’s Muslim problem. Toleration of Islam was a means to the end of relieving Christians of all political power and driving the faith from western public life. This was never necessary in China.
Of course it’s anti-white discrimination. The only jobs Chinese will willingly delegate to white people are the jobs of defending China’s oil supply in Saudi Arabia or importing elephant tranquilizer for sale to children in lethal doses.
As Captain Capitalism would put it, Shepherd’s a conservathot. She’s not saying anything dozens before her haven’t.
As we’ve learned here in the US … some cultures are more-equal than others. Esp. those cultures with lots of $$$$$$ (thanks US Corporations!!).
aaaaaand dont fergit !!! Chirer has a really, really big GRUDGE against the West thanks to ‘things’ happening in THEIR fractured and weak nation back in the 1800s and after.
BIG grudge. real big. ie *the West did it to themselves, it just took a bunch of generations*
and they have a loooooong cultural history, things ingrained for hundreds of generations.
now with dazzling technology on top of it.
I am NOT a fan of communist tyranny (that job is taken already, who dat be?), but this is the ‘full picture’, not just events in 2018.
Another “yellow peril” article courtesy “Robert”.
Why are there NO cheap or free lessons in Cantonese or Mandarin available in Canada? We have French immersion, even in night school, and all that will get you is a feeling of trendiness, of now belonging to the almighty “bilingual” elite.
Learning the Chinese dialects would be a damned good idea, as they’re here, they’re not going away, they will become our biggest trade market eventually. The Chinese are vying for political power with the Sikhs and Muslims, right now the Muslims are on an upward trend, but I believe the Chinese will win out. They have patience.
The Chinese also make damned sure their kids don’t take useless social justice degrees, like too many of our kids do, so by mid-century they should have firm grip on the running of this little country of ours, a much better alternative than the Muslims.
Btw, when I first moved to B.C. in the mid 1960’s,I noticed ads in the Sun and Province for kitchen staff on the B.C.Ferries, they clearly stated “must be Cantonese speaking”. The food on the ferries in those days was excellent, must be a result of the kitchen staff speaking Cantonese. NONE of the stewards serving in the dining room were Chinese, maybe because speaking English was a requirement of that job.
It’s really none of your business. It is entirely up to the employer.
