  • The thing that frustrates me is my dad votes conservative, they underfund things and withheld specific health funding while attacking the rights of nurses, then he complains it takes forever to see a doctor and flies to Mexico and pays there.

    Except his children can’t just fly to Mexico, we’re stuck with it.

    It’s so frustrating that they’re allowed to withhold this funding while shelling out hundreds of millions to private companies to sell beer and liquor at gas stations.















  • This is frustrating.

    The free market should be increasing wages not enjoying subsidized wages for below the legal market rate.

    I’m not racist but this is why people are very upset about immigration numbers.

    “For example, Joh2Stone Inc. – the operator of several McDonald’s Corp. franchises in Eastern Ontario – was approved in the fourth quarter to fill 78 food-service roles. Many Tim Hortons franchises also received approvals,” read part of The Globe and Mail’s report.

    Shame on them, this is disgusting.

    There were also some industries – accommodation and food services – that were temporarily permitted to hire up to 30% of their staff through the low-wage stream of the TFW program, up from a previous 10% cap. Most of the other industries were permanently bumped up to 20%, according to the report.

    In March, the federal government announced it is limiting the use of the TFW program to those who absolutely cannot find Canadians who can fill job openings. Effective May 1, employers will need to explore every option before applying for a Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIA). This includes recruiting asylum seekers with valid work permits here in Canada.

    That’s just trading one group of artificially cheap labour for another.
