OTTAWA - It has been a hectic couple of days for Sara Landriault.
Ever since the stay-at-home mother told QMI Agency that she was blocked from applying for a job because of her race the phone has not stopped ringing. But rather than job offers, the calls have mostly been from the media.
Landriault estimates that she has been done more than 30 media interviews since Wednesday, and while she likes the attention her issue is getting it doesn’t make her feel better.
“The situation has just left me feeling let down,” Landriault told QMI. “I can’t believe this is happening in 2010.”
Asked to react to the opposition parties, specifically Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff, supporting the idea that people can be blocked from jobs because of their race, Landriault sighed.
“I think that’s only the leaders saying that because they are in opposition. If they really feel like that then I’d like them to explain to my children why they won’t get a job one day because they are white.”
Landriault hardly finished her thought before another media request for an interview came in.
She said the constant requests have left her exhausted and strapped for time.
“At the end of the day, I still need to find a job,” Landriault said.
