yeah, Canadian History is 95% white people. In my experience working adjacently to academia, it has never been difficult to find a job, even in a discipline where work is not thick on the ground. The real issue is market saturation. There are more qualified people than ever before. Especially for tenured positions. I have been told at multiple levels by multiple people it is easier to find work as an M.A with work experience than as a PhD.
