I've written about this in a couple of articles, but it's still bugging me now, even more so than before...
So I'm reading this propaganda rag, The Metro, a couple days ago
and this gov't jizzhead is going on about how they need to stop "unscrupulous employers" from importing workers.
The headline makes it seem like they're going to stem the flow of this rich fucker-cheap labour scam, but it's all spin.
The number one importer of foreign labour is the food industry.
Like there aren't a half million unemployed canucks who can work in restaurants and processing facilities eh?
It's not that there isn't anyone to do the job, it's that the restaurants and food chains want to keep paying cheap wages that are near unliveable to 3rd world workers who are recruited and flown in to serve up fast food and gas to the same kids who can't get a job in town, because said company doesn't hire anyone local anymore.
It's more PROFITABLE to import slave labour.
In actuality, in the middle of the biggest manufactured economic crash in the last 70 years where there are unprecedented numbers of unemployed, unprecedented numbers of people who don't qualify for EI, disability or provincial scam social security,
in the midst of all that, there is no mention or move by the gov't to stop the HUGE numbers of workers being imported.
Shut the tap fully off, and make colleges offer 3 month courses in any sector that needs new recruits, courses that ANYONE who's unemployed, regardless of their status can take for free.
We can't keep importing third world workers for slave labour.
There are more than enough people right here to do the work, people of all colors, CANADIANS, that need the work.
We have people leaving college IT courses every year that AREN'T getting jobs, because people are being flown in to fill the spots for less. Every construction site is filled with workers on visas.
Why?
So more people will lose what little they have, and anyone with money can sift at leisure for bargains?
