I guess white privilege isn’t what it used to be. It’s been replaced by open and blatant discrimination. In fact, if you own a small to medium-sized construction company in British Columbia, you can not only discriminate but you also get paid to do it.

The British Columbia Construction Association (BCCA) announced last week that there is still $4 million available for bonuses to companies that apply for its Apprenticeship Services project. This is an initiative that’s funded by the Canadian government under the Canadian Apprenticeship Strategy. The idea is to bring more apprentices into the thirty-nine Red Seal Trades. In Canada, a tradesperson who passes the Red Seal exam receives an endorsement. The Red Seal is proof that a tradesperson has met the national standard in their trade.
