[0.00-6.20] Racism is legal in Canada as long as it's against Caucasian people, specifically white
[6.20-7.70] males.
[7.70-15.04] The 1986 Employment Equity Act, which is now 40 years old, mandates in the federal government
[15.04-22.48] and federally regulated industries that everyone should be hired first before a white male
[22.48-29.92] and then a white female, but yeah, this is this is legal in Canada against Caucasians
[29.92-36.90] and I don't understand how this law has been in place for 40 years and nobody's done anything
[36.90-37.90] about it.
[37.90-41.20] I'm trying my best to go viral on the internet so far.
[41.20-46.08] It's been about two weeks and I have 1.4 million viewers on Facebook.
[46.08-50.64] I'm not getting paid because I have to keep doing this for a month before my channel
[50.64-51.64] even qualifies.
[52.20-55.16] Yet we're already here having these discussions together.
[55.16-62.08] So, yeah, the 1986 Employment Equity Act states in federal and federally regulated industries,
[62.08-67.96] which is banks like CP Rail, like RBC, all of those ones, that you must hire a person
[67.96-73.64] that's a visible minority, a woman, or an indigenous person before you hire a white
[73.64-81.36] male and then the next part of that situation is that because I am a white woman and
[81.36-85.08] I'm born in Canada, that doesn't mean anything for me.
[85.08-88.20] So I have a friend that is from a different country.
[88.20-94.68] She has the same degree as me, we apply for the same job and she will get that position
[94.68-97.60] over me because she's a visible minority.
[97.60-102.24] It's not tied to birth certificate, there's no percentages that we are targeting to
[102.24-103.24] reach.
[104.24-111.80] Yeah, so I think it should be Canada-wide and I don't know why, like is it not 50-50 then?
[111.80-118.96] Like is it not, you know, 50% should be Caucasian and 50% should be visible minorities and then
[118.96-123.24] of those two groups should half of those be women.
[123.24-126.84] So there's no mandate here, it's just, you know, if you feel like you're a white
[126.84-132.92] male in Canada and your life has been declining significantly since 1986, this might be
[132.92-138.56] a reason why and so I guess just keep following my stuff and sharing it and hopefully I can
[138.56-142.92] question somebody that actually knows how to change these things because I don't know
[142.92-145.28] how to change it but I can bring attention to it.
