  1. It’s probably not the only one, and the other question is why the Unitards are putting up with it.

  2. Thank goodness that LMIA’s are providing with the lowest service employment and allowing our MOST adept school graduates to fill high paying and retirement government jobs. Ummm, unfortunately, native born kids don’t have an entry position to start the first step for employment. Ahhh well, such is modern life.

      1. Labour Market Impact Assessment. The impact of foreign workers employed despite native employment.

      2. They are what “Republican” John McCain scolded you about. Those amigos and slopes who are “doing the work … Americans (and Canadians) just won’t do”. Won’t do for slave wages and oppressive employers.

        1. There’s no such thing as ‘slave wages’. Immigrants are just better workers than you. Cope, mald, seethe.

          1. Hahahaha … I am in a CREATIVE industry where talent determines work and wages. Low wage slaves from desperately poor countries are of no matter to me – personally. But unlike you, I understand the value of a vibrant and healthy middle class. Undercutting the wages of the core demographic of a nation never ends well. The ultra wealthy will thrive for a while … until they lose their heads. Literally.

          2. Nope. See at the Walmart. Brown always takes chances, makes mistakes and gets messy. Maybe they watched too much Magic School Bus in Hyderabad?

  3. This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are other mechanisms at work besides LMIAs, including granting permanent residence status to refugee claimants who can find a sponsor. I have been researching this for the past month or so.

    1. Most Canadian youths aren’t worth a shit…lazy f*ckers with no drive. I get 20 of those apply for entry level and maybe two show up for an interview. I go through another 20 of those to find one that’s maybe worth a toss. I can see why some businesses hire brown folks who got their eye on the prize, for half the money, and work their asses off. Good deal if all they’re doing is shlepping coffee or fast food…terrible deal if you’re trying to find someone with half a brain to develop into a long standing skilled productive employee who isn’t going to f*ck things up and piss off customers…most brown folks ain’t that…most of them are dumber than a sack of rocks.

      1. that is because they are a product of our education system which only teaches hatred for conservatives and everything is free under the liberals

  7. Labour Market Impact Assessment
    A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that an employer in Canada may need to get before hiring a foreign worker. A positive LMIA will show that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job.

  8. Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a process where employers tell the government that they can’t get dirt cheap workers to exploit, so the NDP/Liberal racist government must import cheap labour.

    It obviously helps keep canadian wages low across the board, little poverty loving canadians are now behind the lowest wage State in the US which is Mississippi. For canadians this is a badge of honour.

    Voters in canada want to keep rich people rich by giving them monopolies, they will sacrifice their young to ensure wealthy NDP/Liberal racists can live up to socialist first principles of envy and greed.

    It’s a canadian thing…

    1. But, but, but … if you don’t support third world wages mandated by your government … your toaster will cost $300 !!!! You wouldn’t want that would you?

      1. True. At this point the working/middle classes have been sold out by our wealthy left wingers, to begin manufacturing quality products again will require a steep investment that needs to be paid off.

        If big liberal socialists here had not sold out workers, it’s hard to say what a North American toaster might cost in a true competitive environment?

        Not as cheap as what slaves in China could produce of course, but there should always be tariffs on countries that are not free.

        1. Somebody’s making a bundle off of those cheap Chinese-made toasters! It’s obviously not the people who actually make them, and I doubt the people who sell them aren’t making that much of a markup either.
          So who is making all that money? Maybe we should ask Mr. Wonderful, Kevin O’Leary how the distribution model works.
          As a wise young man once said… “Follow the money!”

      2. I’m in my last quarter and if I live to 80, I believe I can wear out a dozen toasters made in China and sold at WalMart currently forr c. $30.

        A toaster made to last twenty years wouldn’t need to sell for $300 to return a worthwhile profit, but that formula wouldn’t employ several useless eaters in marketing and advertising.

  9. I have a cottage in Northern Ontario, this summer I noted that 3/4 of the employees in the shops were from India. There’s a reserve 10 minutes from the Walmart. Last year, 1/2 the employees were either young people from town, or natives from the reserve.
    3 years ago 0 of the people in town would have been non white or non native.

    1. Try driving across the ”fair country” of canada!
      You will find that at the very least 9 out of 10 gas stations are run by east indians. Hotels and motels across canada not so much except in BC. Same damn thing.
      Is it because of ownerships changing.
      Most likely but I’m not sure.
      Damn distressing tho.

        1. Not a racist nor a snowflake but one who recognizes change.
          When you keep letting those from over there come over here, how
          long before over here becomes over there?
          Just wondering UnMe

          1. Never. That never happens, because places are the way they are because of their institutions and quality of Elite Human Capital. ‘The People’ aren’t what drive a country, and in the even that they do, your country is in serious trouble.

          2. So UnMee … please explain how Oakland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles … which were once all vibrant, SAFE, and beautiful places to live now resemble lawless third world shitholes?

            The institutions and (so-called) elite human capital have never been stronger. CA is ground zero for elite human capital and leftist institutions. That’s obviously intact … so please explain the rot.

          3. The unone is not capable of rational thought. It also does not care if canada is destroyed. It is part of the problem that free people face these days.

  10. It’s simple … LMIA workers don’t talk back and will take whatever shit the employer dumps on them … including substandard wages. What employer wouldn’t love that wet dream of an employee (don’t call them slaves).

  11. What is the benefit to companies who hire Temporary Foreign Workers, or whatever they are called?

    As I understand it, they must be paid the same wages as an equivalent Canadian worker. The official position is that is fills “jobs Canadians wont do”?

    Does it avoid Union headaches n paperwork?

    It dont see why companies find it attractive…

    1. Work hard and shut up or you’ll be deported. They work hard as hell, live 15 to a one bedroom apartment, save their money and quickly buy a place.

    2. And these kids didn’t go to unionized indoctrination factories we call schools, where the only skill they learn is spotting oppression. And being trans. And being woke.

    3. Canadians won’t do these jobs, Eagle. They haven’t been willing to do these jobs for decades. Without temporary foreign workers, there would be no fruit picked in the Niagara fruit belt. Same thing goes in California and Florida. There are a host of jobs for which there is zero supply of local labour. All of the workers have to come from out of country. This applies particularly in places like old age homes. Particularly for things like janitorial services.

      Companies find this essential because otherwise none of these jobs will be done. And forget about “youth” employment. Those snowflakes are mostly too busy playing computer games in mommy’s basement to soil their hands with anything resembling work.

      1. I’m going to call you on that cgh. My son worked evenings and weekends in Walmart to save money for uni. He often ended up doing the harder work because the “brown guys” said it was too hard. They were older than he was. His friends, mostly white, did the same. One took a summer job in landscaping. The expectation was that he would be ready to roll by sunrise and he worked until sunset.

        I know that is anecdotal evidence but to say no Canadians will do the work is misstatement. BTW, I worked picking fruits and vegetables in high school and while there were West Indian crews, there were also local kids doing the work “Canadians won’t do.” The big problem was we went back to school so the farmers needed the WI’s to finish the harvest.

        1. Anecdotal evidence means nothing. This is about an economy including millions of jobs; individual cases are irrelevant. Canadian youth generally won’t do any of these jobs. Just look at the thousands of snowflakes on university campuses across North America wearing “Queers for Palestine” t-shirts.

          As I stated before, the inability to get young Canadians of any kind to do thes jobs has been going on for decades. Have you ever employed anyone? Do you know the sheer dead mass of paperwork in which to employ anyone? Particularly if they are Canadian nationals? The administrative burden of employing anyone is enormous.

      2. Finally, someone besides me who isn’t a moron. TFW is a godsend to Canada and it’s a shame companies even have to fill out a LMIA. It’s their business. The Americans are going to find out the extremely hard way what the consequences of mucking with immigrant labor are. IE food shortages, no service

        1. “Finally, someone besides me who isn’t a moron.”

          LOL…yeah, you just keep on telling yourself that while the rest of us keep laughing at you…

          1. Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the biggest moron of all?

            His hygiene is rank, and his pants smell of pooh. UnMe is a thousand times more moronic than you.

            Merry Christmas to all the morons and bot beeyatchs!!!

        2. It’s worse than that, UM. There are a host of skilled jobs for which Canada supplies virtually no training or applicants. Our apprenticeship programs are dismal. Without a large, continuing import of labour from offshore, Canada’s economy will grind to a halt in weeks. It nearly did during the Trudeau government’s bungling of the Covid crisis a few years ago.

          As for FredfromBC, he can keep laughing at himself while his bottom is being washed by a Phillipina in his old age home.

    4. It’s common for rich people in other countries to pay the store owner for the work visa. Going rate is over CAN$20,000 now. They “work” 2 years, then apply for Permanent Residency.

    1. I was at Walmart a couple days ago. The cashier was a 50 year old off the boat Indian man. Interesting how a presumably an established man in a foreign country would move to a failing country like Canada and take a shithole job.

  14. Look, names in a database. A few comments by rationalizers. A few more comments by toothless conservatives who are shocked this going on. OK. Look, names!

    1. The guy named Fenris says “Look, names!”…ffs.

      He and Bronwyn Eyre should have a kid, call it Fenwyn Dickbutt.
      .

  15. There are a lot of government impediments to hiring youth as well. Child labour laws etc. I have a couple of Ukrainian refugees working for me. They want to stay in Canada and become Canadian citizens. I fully support them in that effort. I didn’t hire them because they are cheaper as I don’t discriminate in wages. If you can do the job you will get the same rate of pay as anyone else. The two Ukrainians I have working for me are the best workers I have on staff. Always on time and always ready to go to work.

  16. Good. Willing employer finds willing employee. Wealth is generated. Companies have no obligation to employ teens or any other specific segment of the population. WORK HARDER

      1. Personally I do not got to Timmies anymore since they fired all the old ladies that used to work there in the morning. Bunch of surly children from Mississauga work there now, so I make my own coffee. Timmy ain’t making money off me anymore, because I don’t trust the employees not to spit in my food.

        Dear Timmy, are you listening?

  17. “Dirty Jobs” TV series by Mike Rowe is proof positive that there are not any jobs that regular people won’t do, some of the jobs he highlights are absolutely disgusting.

    So why do regular people do them? Because they are paid well enough to do them. That’s it, that’s all.

    Farm owners, wealthy liberals who want landscaping or servants, convenience store owners, personal care workers – all these employers need to cough up a few bucks.

    Will that affect their bottom line? Yes, absolutely. But that will also encourage them to invest in greater productivity which will make everyone more wealthy in the long run. Obviously.

    Our workers should not have to compete directly with slaves in a dictatorship, they will lose every time.

    Our wealthy scolds in the chattering classes will remain rich whether they exploit people here or overseas, so deny them the opportunity to exploit imported workers here, and tariff the imports from dictatorships.

    1. “all these employers need to cough up a few bucks”

      FO slaver. Employer have no such obligation to do so, or ‘invest in productivity’ whatever that means. It’s not their job to make ‘everyone more wealthy in the long run’ (Magical thinking right there).

      “so deny them the opportunity to exploit imported workers here, and tariff the imports from dictatorships.”

      No, no. You go ahead and tariff yourself, and feel free to overpay for bad labor as much as you want. Leave my wallet out of your stupid ideas.

      1. Productivity is fairly easy to understand, it’s why Henry Ford created the production line.

        If you’re okay with buying a hand-made Rolls Royce good for you, but everyone lives better with Henry Ford’s production line.

        Wealthy communist dictators in China have a billion people to exploit, many people are okay with slavery if we can buy cheap stuff, but as a matter of conscience and public policy we should not support these wealthy leftists in our country or overseas.

        1. “We”? There is no we, and there’s no evidence that slavery is but a trace problem in China. Willing buyer, willing seller. If a company is slaving, then it’s appropriate to apply sanctions to it. It is not appropriate to use it as an excuse to impoverish Canadians.

          1. Oh come on, look around.

            Canadians are getting impoverished thanks to being sold out by our wealthy liberals, we’re now behind Mississippi, the poorest US State.

            If there’s no “we” in this place called “canada” then why are “we” poorer?

          3. there’s no evidence that slavery is but a trace problem in China

            It is a massive problem in both China and the Middle East. And you know that.

          4. “…there’s no evidence that slavery is but a trace problem in China…”

            Everyone in China outside The Party is a slave. That’s what Communism is.

  18. But these temporary foreign workers are absolutely necessary otherwise how are our wise leaders supposed to be able to afford their nannies, groundskeepers, housekeepers and sex workers at affordable rates as well as all the new Liberal voters?

  19. Politicians are working for the wealthy, corporate, globalist interests; this is why Trudeau / Singh are hated by so many citizens.
    Government’s job is to benefit the citizens. I hope Poilievre puts the citizen first and doesn’t follow the Libs/NDP/PCs and sell out to corporatists, wealth and globalists.
    Galen Weston has one vote and should receive no more consideration or influence than any other voter.
