Canada is really starting to look stupid.

I mean they're already considering enforcing Sharia law up there, they don't want corrections officers to wear knife resisitant vests and now this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Critics are calling it "craziness" that the Correctional Service of Canada is disqualifying candidates for parole officer jobs because they're white. An Ontario job-seeker received a rejection letter recently, advising that only aboriginals and visible minorities need apply.

"Please be advised that effective immediately the Ontario region of the Correctional Service of Canada is no longer maintaining an inventory for parole officer applications from the general public," the Feb. 19 letter reads.

"Due to staffing resources we will continue to accept applications from aboriginal and visible-minority candidates only."
