Corporate Canada’s Useful Idiot in Ottawa…

Might I suggest Mark J Carney take some advise about temporary foreign workers from his old boss?  He might learn a thing or two

“Evidence began to accumulate that many temporary foreign workers were being hired for entry-level jobs that unemployed or underemployed Canadians might be doing, in sectors from fast-food to retail, sometimes even in regions of high unemployment. Jason Kenney, then minister of immigration, pointed out that this was surely driving down the wages of lower-income Canadians – and despite the demands of some employers, lower market wages should not be an objective of government policy.” – Globe & Mail, Aug 28th 2016

  1. lower market wages should not be an objective of government policy.

    Hahahahaha ha ha ha ha
    Hahahahaha ha ha ha ha

    Tell that to the RINOS and the Chamber of Commerce who want to REPLACE American workers with pliable, desperate, illegal invaders.

  2. If we know anything about Globalists, we know they’ve really succeeded in ruining Canada for Canadians.
    Their man Carney is going to double-down until the youth unemployment rate utterly dooms the future of an entire generation.

    1. exactly. and IT WILL WORK. a whole generation demoralized KNOWING they ‘have the right stuff’ and NOWHERE TO APPLY IT.
      those extremely vital early years of etyhs wages ‘cutting your teeth’
      then you got the chops and run with it. lm perfect example;
      $1.80 operating among other things a PDP10 mainframe 1970.
      fast forward 1985 time to walk away from mainframes into the big swirling mass of desktops and private consulting. lm STILL living in a house purchase via tradeups/downs with the equity INTACT that l earned in that time.

      (psst dear arts majors, its called ‘STEM’ aaaaaaand all youse Liberal voters do think carefully. no reflex voting based on propaganda m’kay?)

  3. Before you cheer on the policy, remember this: the program was brought into place because the productivity of the average Canadian worker is really quite abysmal, particularly in service sector jobs like fast food. Eliminate the foreign workers and those businesses will simply close. The marginal consumer will never pay what it takes to make up for that decline in productivity. Wages won’t go up either because the real minimum wage is zero. Businesses in these marginal sectors will opt to close and fire the staff rather than lose money. Only the largest firms with sufficient sales volumes, with access to cheaper capital, will opt to replace the workers with robots.

    1. Gee, Sunshine, with that logic we would be better served with ‘doctors’ from Shitholes who get fast-tracked and will work for less so the Health Care System can remain feasible.

      Now lets discuss the trucking industry.

  4. In Carney’s defence at least he is useful to someone.
    He’s a useless idiot to the rest of us.

  5. A lot of people are starting to notice what I’ve been screaming since Carney popped up: He’s a deeply stupid man.

  6. To be fair, some Canadians did vote to election the Temporary Foreign Worker Carney as Prime Minister…
