My gut says it's racism, but I know I can't prove that. Even if it isn't racism, I think it takes a little more thoughtful consideration than just "I don't like your smell...NEXT!" If the productivity of the company will be improved by the more qualified candidate versus a less smelly (if that's even the real issue) candidate that isn't as good at her job, the person who doesn't like the smell may just have to learn to live with it as productivity trumps your exaggerated sensitivity.
Also, are there any kids of minority, new-to-Canada parents here? Wouldn't you want somebody like me standing up for your relative's right to work even though they don't smell like a typical white Calgarian versus a lot of the other people in this thread that are so quick to dismiss them?
I'm a little surprised by CP on this.

I think you're prejudiced against the guy hiring because you suspect that he might be racist because of where he comes from.
