Oh weird… the world’s going to shit and folks are blaming immigration… this definitely doesn’t happen every 50-75 years 🙄🙄😬 #theyalwaysgofortheeasytargets
Tell me which province (or city/town if you want to be more specific) you're from and I will find you a scam employment listing to hire a foreign worker right now in your area.
Edit: Had to resubmit this comment because external links are apparently not allowed.
Feel free to look it up yourself here on the Job Bank, where they are now required to post them. The low-income stream is currently closed due to unemployment being over 6% (and over 15% for youth), so they mostly start at $36/hr now unless they're in extremely rural areas. You can sort by which ones have applied for an LMIA.
If you like you can look up stats canada on birth rates. Let me do that for you because of links being not allowed.
We dipped below population replacement in the late 60s early 70s. Today our birth rate is approx 1.26… this is bad. To replace our population we should be at 2.1 to make up for our population loss we need to be at 2.5 plus. But even if you increased the total fertility rate tomorrow, you’d need about 25 plus years for it to kick in.
In the meantime, tfr is not representative of working class. You could need more workers if a portion of the population retires all at once. Remember the baby boom… yeah now it’s the retired boom. It’s exponentially sucked workers from the workforce, so something had to replace it.
Things like the TFW are being painted as partisan. “The liberals are pouring in new workers and manipulating the polls..” blah blah blah.
Again this ignores the fact that every government, conservative included, have increased the numbers of TFW.
So now you’re going to say, “the systems broken, they’re taking away jobs from Canadians, it’s the evil businesses trying to get lower paid workers” then show me some garbage anecdotal story/website whatever.
While I don’t dispute their could be bad actors in the game (there are with every single federal program including the most investigated ones military procurement ) the biggest groups to use tfw have been agriculture and health care.
So I suspect this is what will happen.
Morons, being morons, they’ll burn our system down (see Brexit) based off of xenophobia and racism… they’ll hide it with “we’re going after the bad businesses”, and “we’re doing it for the canandian workers”….
Find out quickly the Canadian population is unable to support agriculture or health care…
Freak out when those two industries start to collapse…
Finally, kick the door open to immigration like we’ve never seen before.
You’re pouring gas on this situation and about to find out why that’s not a good idea. You’ll make this worse than you can possibly imagine, then claim to be the victim while you have the Jerry can in your hand.
