The Daily Number

Today - a bonus!

Two numbers!

17.

That's the number of cops Vancouver City Council has agreed to pay for. The police wanted over 100 originally and then settled on asking for 65.

This decision was all politics and no brains or heart. Shame on this administration.

50%

That number represents 2 factors having to do with visible minorities in the Canadian workforce. First, 50% of visible minorities today feel that their employers do not recognize their "foreign" credentials on a par with "Canadian" diplomas and degrees.

Second, in only a few years hence, half the working population in Canada will be visible minorities.

Which raises the question: How many more doctors and civil engineers will be sorting and stacking mangoes and snow peas at your local green grocer before Canadian governments wake up?
