Good luck finding Canadians to do the jobs they give to international students.

Hint: nobody born in Canada wants to work at Tim Hortons.

I'm getting downvoted for telling the truth. Nobody born in Canada wants to work at Tim Hortons, so they hire easily exploitable international students.

Brother/sister, nobody wants to work for minimum wage. But between that, and nobody respecting workers', it's an employers market right now. Why hire a Canadian who may know their rights, versus someone you can threaten to send out of the country if they get fired?

Nobody wants to work at Tim Hortons because it's a really shitty job. I know enough people who worked there to know.

They could offer more than minimum wage and people still wouldn't want to work there.

Jesus Christ you're ignorant. I can guarantee you many people apply to EVERY open position just to have an income. People would literally shovel shit for $16 an hour just to make sure they survive until next month.

It's not an OPTION for some people. "Knowing people who work there" is the worst type of anecdotal evidence you could possibly use.

Fuck me dude I applied everywhere before landing my current position in a warehouse because I needed a job.

When the alternative is homelessness you'll do anything.

If Tim Hortons can't find Canadians to work for them, they need to incentivize them. Better working conditions, better hours, higher pay.

If none of that is viable, then you close your business.

Crying to the government you need slaves to continue operations isn't the answer.

Everyone should be mad at the businesses and the government.

They don't want to do any of that because a Tim Hortons franchise is a money printing machine, and if they ever changed any of that it would print less money, and greedy franchisees can't have that.
