My son was applying at BCLS maybe 7 or 8 years ago and the posting clearly stated preference would be given to indigenous, minorities and handicapped, the application even asked if you were handicapped and your race. Needless to say he never even got called back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 So for anyone interested in spelling it out for me, what’s the Canucks potential playoff opponent picture look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son has been with them almost 6 years and looks at different postings all the time. I just texted and asked him and he has never seen one. And it's illegal to ask if someone is gay. Thats what I thought too, I'm not in Vancouver but just opened my city account (not on the job posting itself anymore) and 2nd page of job application after resume upload does ask you to check off the following if you apply: Although prefer not to self identify is also an option.

Gurn Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 1 hour ago, Bob Long said: sure but for what reason? high value alone? I just think the brain trust thought it was worth the risk of him having to improve, given the instant chemistry with Petey. Was a good bet imo, even if it ultimately didn't work out. High value, and an unsustainable shooting percentage. Not particularly fast, not very physical; and more expensive, after re-signing, than a high pick/prospect on an entry level contract. No cap? no problem, keep the guy. Again- he's not that big a mistake, as a resigning and then eventual trade, but he is/was 1 in my opinion. After a few more years those mistakes add up, and end up getting management teams fired. Look no further than Benning- guy drafted a guy that is likely to be the best forward the team has ever had - Petey. guy drafted the no doubt, best d man- and arguably the best player this team has ever had.--Quinn possibly the best goalie the team has ever had-especially if Demko can find a way to stay healthy drafted a damn fine winger in Brock traded for J.T. Miller Had many good things, but the bad points are what sticks out, and eventually gets him- and every management team fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman955 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Color is for jerseys, period. Where we are come playoffs, we're in who cares! Our team needs to get in sync. Coaches are not exempt. Our expectations as fans seem higher than what is shown. Let's all get together and support the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergiomomesso Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 36 minutes ago, Miss Korea said: I don't care if he sucks or not. Do you think it's okay for people here to shit on him just because he's brown? I don’t care what colour or type of person it is. I just want the best available option to call the game. But the the people in charge know it’s about getting more eyes on the game. And it doesn’t take a genius to know they don’t need to sell the game to most Canadians. I don’t think it’s racist to think Singh may have gotten more “yes” votes because of his nationality. More of a business decision imo. This happens in a lot of professions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needless to say he never even got called back. I 'claimed ' minority group on every job app I ever filled out. In truth every single person is a visible minority- it just depends how you group people. 51% of the Canadian pop is female- so every guy is already a visible minority But don't worry ladies, even if you are a bigger group than the guys, you can still be minorities because you could be a lady of any colour, and thus be out numbered by men and ladies not of you colour. To balance out my 'minority status' on job apps I also filled out every Canada census by stating Canadian, and crossing out all that Scottish, Chinese, Indian, Norwegian, Canadian stuff. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
