I'm so old that I still remember when working in the fields picking fruit was a thing that local teenagers would occasionally do. And I'm not really that old, it was the 1980s. It's been quite a rapid change.

It's so funny to me how transparent these capitalists are. "We can't find any employees!" That's strange because all of their competitors who increased wages have employees and there are 1.4 million Canadians looking for work. Damn lazy entitled business owners and the politicians that enable them.

I don’t have a problem bringing in foreign workers if there’s a need for the skills or talent, but the minimum wage for those workers needs to be at least 70% more than Canadians citizens.

If a company has no alternative they’ll bring them over but otherwise they’ll give jobs to Canadians first.

This is a rare case where an article title phrased as a question is answered with "yes."

Not even young people. My company is setting up and firing their older staff to replace with TFW because cheaper... while simultaneously holding meetings about deteriorating deliverables quality...
