In at least one electoral district in British Columbia, older Caucasian males are being told they need not apply to run for the New Democrats in the next provincial election.
Damn those white people keeping those white people down!According to the BC NDP's affirmative-action rules, that makes him ineligible to run in the next election in his own riding. The NDP's equity rule, mandates the next NDP candidate in Maple Ridge must be a woman, or a member of an under-represented group: "Persons of colour, gay/lesbian/bi/transgender people, youth, aboriginal peoples and persons with disabilities."
