Timayyyyys! That oil company with the mollusk logo, shipyards, fruit orchards, nannies and caregivers, nurses and laborers, any low wage big franchise you point to in Canada is doing it along with millions of unscrupulous small business owners.
They actually advertise in foreign countries. The workers are hired directly from their home countries, given all kinds of passport and help finding lodging, then they are flown right into your local big chain coffee shop, gas station, super mart, or into a rich person's home to take care of their brats and their elderly.
There isn't even an ad placed locally. It's only posted in another country.
The wage is unlivable, so the worker has a low quality of life. They come with $$$$ signs in their eyes, because it seems like its a lot, but in Canada this cost more than their homeland, so they really go only further in the hole, and they never complain about long days or being ripped of for overtime, breaks, holidays, and medical benefits.
Give companies involved with this type of importing some hefty real fines and actual mandates for the RCMP to investigate. Give whistle blowers some kind of compensation for turning these unscrupulous employers in.
If the wage they've been paying is unlivable for Canadians, and they can't get Canadians to do the job for that wage, they need to raise their remuneration and better the working conditions so Canadians will take the job.
Higher paid workers mean more taxes paid. By CANADIANS of all races. There are plenty of people already here from other countries who have lived their whole life here being paid shit by these outrageous wage and employment policies that have crept up over the last 2 decades, while we were being distracted by media concentrated doom and gloom headlines.
The employer drives off in his SUV complaining to his wife about the cost of employees while they ride out to the golf range he pay's more than an employees salary to be a part of.
Low wage workers are one of the NDP's largest demographics Jack. Stop sucking corporate dick for party coffers and back up the grassroots Canadian and you'll get their votes Mr. Layton.
Take a look...
