OTTAWA -- Canada's military is struggling to shed its "white guys" image, embracing more culture and diversity to put a more colourful face on the armed forces.

    You won't find a more colour/gender blind organization than the CF

    Its not like we can force people...unless...CONSCRIPTION IT IS!

    I'm being highly sarcastic. People have the choice to join or not, and if they don't...that's fine, but I think we should start with more kickass ads, showing explosions and actual battles, both past and present, just to show the public we have a proud military tradition.

    Wouldn't those kickass ads show us blowing up some of those visible minorities?

    oh ya we need ads that show massive explosions, men woman and children being killed and or maimed.. orphaned children screaming bleeding in the streets..
    women and youg girls being raped.. people being beaten until they cant get up.. more shit like that.. that would attract some recruits.... or then maybe we could just do some ajusting to the tory campaign ads.. that would do it..

    Why pick a recruit based on their skin colour? Their abilities are more important. If you have to choose between a highly qualified white candidate and a lesser qualified 'coloured' candidate, the white guy should be picked as a recruit. If the visible minority is better qualified hire them. Hiring based on race lowers the overall level of quality.

    Well according to Many Liberals and Black leaders you cant have that cause no one would hire a minority. Are they not the ones saying you have to hire them cause they are to stupid to get hired on their own. Most black leaders in the uSA have sold out their own people.

    Holy shit people are taking fucking advertising to a new level.

    All I want is an ad or two highlighting that Canada HAS an army that does more than run around on a ship and rescue some woman in Eastern Europe. You know, history. Hell you can show us landing at Juno and showing our kick ass ness during WWII

    They may not be as high as they once were, but they are there. Why do you think your application was declined? (other than you tried to dry hump the recruiting officer's leg during the initial interview)

    Perhaps the anti-war whachos who riot could be suppressed. They are a form of anti-recruitment drive. How many recruiters have been denied access to campuses because anarchists in student unions deem it so---without the concent of the student body.
    In principle minorities will remain minorities in the military. The majority will be the majority.
    Currently the CF are stretched enough that such things as race are not a barrier to recruitment.

    god, more affirmative action...refer to "raced based hiring" thread for my view on this.

    Again, as long as the military doesn't have discriminatory hiring practices who gives a fuck if only White, Straight, Males want to work in it?

    I thought the whole point of equality was to get to the point where we no longer looked in the means of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc. etc. etc....and the irony is, that affirmative action and these quotas force us to look at these issues.

    Man this is so hypocritical of the Left...
