the Canadian constitution explicitly allows certain discrimination on the basis of race, gender etc. if it is for the purpose of lifting up minority groups.

The Constitution concerns actions taken by the government (or, in some cases, by agents of the government), so it's not relevant here. The analogous rules for private corporations are in provincial Human Rights Codes.
