i.e. "Canadians don't like being exploited so we need people from India who don't mind it or simply don't know any better".

Why the hell should we bring over people from half way across the world to serve shitty coffee and crappy food? Canadians WILL work these jobs if you pay them enough. If you can't pay the people that already live here a decent wage then shut down. The fact they feel they have to bring in people from India and pay them shit shouldn't be tolerated.

Thank you! I've got nothing against immigration, it's an important part of any healthy society. But I always bristled at the idea we need them to do our shit jobs.

What does that say about us as a society that we can't build our own homes, serve our own food? That we need a steady supply of desperate dark skinned people to fill these roles at rates we would turn our noses up at? Nothing good.

It's the modern version of importing slaves.
