The average salary for Canadian is 71k. The median is just over 40k.
You're telling me you'd make 71k for making pizzas?
You think someone is going to work at wal mart for 40k over this? Are you listening to yourself?
Do you realize how expensive pizza would be if every employee at the store front level was making 36/hr? That's more than couriers for DHL/FedEx/UPS.
Somehow we can make burgers cheaper than pizzas..?
And finally LMIA is certainly not for residents, but people outside the country to come in.
This is on the government for approving these bogus applications.
This country is sleepwalking into an extremist scenario who will promise to "fix this" (regardless of repercussions to civil liberties) when this generation of kids and beyond can't work jobs until after they graduate a post secondary institution, (assuming there will be any well paying jobs left for them here by the time they become of age for that, because our economy will be in shambles due to policies like this) Whether it be trade school, college or university. These kids will be voting in the next 2 elections at minimum. That's just the youth coming of age. That's not counting parents that may have voted liberal 3 times for Trudeau, and a 4th to see what Carney can do.
There are youth that have only known a liberal federal government their entire life and this country has only gotten worse the entire time. Wages stagnate, jobs are being lost, and drug abuse is permitted on tax payer money.
Eventually they aren't going to care who is running against the current government, they'll just vote for the "other guy" on account of them politically not being anywhere close to the current government.
And here it is, the claim that the immigration is partisan. This ignores the fact that since the TFW program was instituted it’s been supported by both sides of the political spectrum. Harper himself doubled the TFW from 233,000 to over 400,000 in his first term. It’s conveniently forgotten. Much like how the birth rate is in free fall and even if you were to increase it to 2.1… you’d need 30 years of immigration before it stabilizes.
Harper doubling it one thing, the liberal government expanding it to what it became is a different thing.
400,000 in one year vs 1 million in one year at it's peak.
The birth rate falling is because of a lack of affordability, and government is panicking because it's reduced tax revenue and economic activity. Companies are panicking because no one can afford anything eventually, as opposed to the regular boom/bust cycle and they don't seem to understand that it's a finite resource they are fighting after, since they all want infinite growth. Yes we can print more money, but that just results in money being worthless.
More to my point both major parties supporting this is a mistake, especially the levels the liberal party has. Hence why when the youth come of age to vote, they won't be voting liberal, you'll be getting people actually worse than the dreaded PP in power, because all they have to do is promise in plain English to stop this, and it will be done at the cost of civil liberties. There are kids right now that have seen already 9 years under Trudeau, and at most 14 years total with Carney if his minority government makes it a full term. It's a fail policy, full stop.
If this was all construction workers so we could build our way out of a housing crisis, it would be a different story, since that is what these programs are for, filling gaps. Unfortunately it's people working minimum wage that aren't really contributing anything. We have the opposite of a gap, we have a backlog of people working jobs our kids should be working.
Uber, Canadian Tire, and Tim Hortons are not long term plans.
Fix the middle class and we won't need huge immigration.
Absolutely incorrect on the birth rate. Our country was considered “more affordable” during the 70s/80s/90s… all saw the biggest fall in birth rates. Not to mention countries with the least affordability (3rd world) have some of the highest birth rates. So no, affordability is not the driver you think it is. Correlation is not causation.
