Meanwhile, in Quebec

Comedian complains about being “forced” to hire one of Quebec’s only well-known black comedians to play the role of a black journalist implicated in a scandal, for a satirical revue show; says he would have preferred to have used blackface instead, is surprised when there’s an uproar, and then calls black people who criticized him “mosquitoes.” 

Chaaaaarrrrrrming.

I belong to a facebook group for Vancouver women who work in creative/media fields. This ad was posted today and is going over just about as well as you think it is.

Missed it? Take a look at that last line.

“Please note that the Position requires filling in the responsibilities of a receptionist, so female candidates are preferred.”

Hey Vestra Inet… what the fuck?

My favourite comment about this so far has been “I am calling this position, “Heads up ladies, the dark ages are calling.”

Canada's new cabinet is not only gender balanced, it's the most diverse in history.

I’m not much of a PLC fan, but I feel proud. Now let’s hope that I’ll be able to stay proud for the next 4 years~.

I think for once I'm proud of our prime minister and what he's doing.
