I wrote this 550 word Op-Ed.
The Employment Equity Act violates one of the most basic principles of justice: that everyone should be treated equally and not be discriminated against.

The Employment Equity Act gives preferential treatment to “women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities” when applying for jobs that are federally regulated.

In other words, preferential treatment is given to anyone who isn’t a white male.
