Globe Editorial – The necessary pain of ending the TFW dodge
If the postings on the government of Canada’s job bank site are to be believed, hardly anyone in this country wants to work, whatever the wage. Never mind rising unemployment, particularly among young Canadians. Good help, it seems, remains impossible to find.
Companies seeking permission to hire a temporary foreign worker must first prove that they could not find a Canadian willing to do that work. As of Thursday, there were 4,594 positions listed. The type of positions, and pay, vary wildly, everything from a psychiatrist position in Ottawa paying (at least) $450,000 a year to a slew of minimum-wage jobs in agriculture and food service.
About time. And I doubt that the corporate class will “suffer” much at all when the scam is gone.
Boo Hoo! The Liberals will lose a GDP dodge and the affinity vote bloc harvest.
