DISCRIMINATION

 Discrimination against Women and Immigrants in Canada’s current socio-economic environment

Stes de Necker

This is the true story of a female immigrant living in Canada and the unjust discrimination she had to endure for many years.

For purposes of this article I will call her ‘Ann’.

“I was born and raised in Romania and completed my studies in, amongst others, Romania and Switzerland. 

In 2002 I immigrated to Canada where I studied a business degree. I’m currently holding a Masters Certificate in Business Analysis which I obtained at York University in Toronto Canada.

Shortly after I arrived in Canada, I started to understand why things are not always what they seem.

Soon after I was appointed, existing staff of the organization started their campaign of action against me as both female and immigrant.

Derogatory comments, untactful and humiliating jokes, attacks on my name and integrity and pure defamation of character and dignity were the order of the day.

Later I learned that many of my so-called superiors were individuals who were not only of questionable character, but were also far less qualified as I was.

In one situation I had to report to woman with certified dementia. It was not long before I was accused of all sorts of things, ranging from dis-functionality and dyslexia to stupidity and mental retardation.

Before I moved to Canada, I held a senior position in the Finance Department of a large import export company.

Notwithstanding many extra hours which I have put into my job, I realized that, not being born a Canadian citizen, my chances for promotion were very slim.

Employees with much less experience and capability were promoted purely preferentially on the basis that they were Canadian citizens and in most instances were prepared to maintain close personal relationships with their superiors.

Later I learned that the remuneration packages of female staff were on average 30% lower than that of male employees in comparable positions.

The biggest crime a woman could possible commit, was to fall pregnant! Immediate disrespect and complete rejection of her value to the organization almost happened automatically.

Many times I had to endure the invasion of my privacy. No personnel record was safe and confidential any more.

On numerous occasions I had to resist sexual advances from male superiors at the risk of losing my job. My refusal to satisfy the superior in this regard usually resulted in some kind of retaliation of some kind. I was either removed from the position I was holding, or I had to face a continual barrage of insults and criticism.

Many a time I had to listen to the unsavory discussions of managers about their private lives and bedroom stories which were shamelessly discussed in my presence.

Not towing the line in all these work environments was simply not acceptable. Any female employee with the least bit of self respect and moral standards, are not welcome.

Knowing the true meaning of religious values and cultural standards, I was rudely awakened to discover that Canada was not the civilized First World country as it is made out to be.

‘White Collar’ corruption, racial and all other forms of discrimination, favoritism, xenophobia and many other social ills are alive and well in Canada. “

It is my firm belief that this is not only the experience of one specific lady. There are many similar examples and stories coming out of Canada and many Ann’s are coming forward in protest of the status quo.

Fear of retaliation, and dependence on employment and a monthly salary, are the major factors prohibiting woman like Ann to expose the actual truth.

Ann’s case and the NCPC

On the home page of the National Coalition Party of Canada’s Website, the leader of the NCPC and Prime Minister candidate for 202, H.E. Sir. Dr. Raphael Louis said:

“After 30 years of a tireless devoted life helping to improve humankind standards of living through adequate human rights and civil rights knowledge sharing, organizing socio-political, humanitarian and multicultural activities within various communities at the local and international levels; I pledge to continue to be committed to making Canada the Nation that each and every Canadian Citizen has been dreaming for; a Canada where basic and fundamental rights are observed and protected through sustainable government.”

The NCPC’s ideology combines freedom with responsibility and democracy. The basic and fundamental values are centered on education, fiscal balance, healthcare reform, employment, tolerance, youth leadership, fairness, gender equality, indigenous inclusiveness; rewarding and caring, private business, civil and corporate society.

The party also values multiculturalism and diversity. “Our political mission has been shaped by ideas of social reform and social justice which have all contributed to the current ideology”.

The party's Women's agenda also works to strongly bring women together and focuses on improving gender equality in Canada and around the world. It believes that women and men must have the same opportunities and rights to come to life, grow up, receive education, and participate freely in public and global affairs.

The NCPC is currently shaping the rules and norms for a new international system.

A system which I want to call “International Social Democracy”

In my article on “Social Democracy - The NCPC and the current Worldwide Political Renaissance” which I published on my Website on 12 August 2014, I said:

“There are two main perspectives on the origins and basis of Social Democracy. One is the primordial perspective that describes solidarity as a reflection of the ancient belief perceived by evolutionary tendency of humans and citizens to organize into distinct groupings. The other is the modernist perspective that describes the new Political Renaissance as a recent political phenomenon that requires the structural conditions of modern society and sustainable government reform through the democratic political process.”  (http://stesdeneckers.blogspot.com)

The most difficult issues facing national governments today are international in nature.

Global warming, global financial crisis, ‘global war on terror’, has led to the global political awakening and is rapidly expanding, as the social, political and economic inequalities and disparities of the past are becoming more and more outdated and impractical.

A globalized world requires a new global socio-economic and socio-political structure.

The need for a new world socio-economic and socio-political structure, that can secure peace, advances human rights and provides the conditions for economic progress, has never seemed more appropriate.

The failure of historical outdated socio-political and economic systems, have left many disillusioned with the ability of Governments to successfully govern their countries.

Communism, socialism, capitalism, nationalism and all the other –ism’s there may be, have failed dismally to secure peace and stability in the world.

Personal safety and security, mutual cultural respect, religious tolerance and economic development, have created an unprecedented interest in ‘International Affairs’ and ‘Homeland Government’.

The National Coalition Party of Canada (NCPC) is currently the only Party in the international political arena which main platform is established a new political order in Canada, and worldwide, based on the core and fundamental principles of individual freedom, social responsibility, equality before the law, civil rights values, human rights standards, children and youth well-being, gender equality, social justice, economic opportunity for everyone and the rule of law.

The NCPC is strongly gaining significant national and international support.

With the help of all the ‘Ann’s’ of Canada, who is willing to come forward and expose the hidden socio- political and socio-economic ills within the current Canadian society, the NCPC can effectively engage everyone to be active in society, to stand up for the things that are important to them, to talk about them, and to work to change them for the betterment of Canada and the world.
