I believe in banning international students and migrant workers in Canada. Canada must stop modern day slavery and abuse. We talk of correcting our past, but won't focus on the current problems at all. In 100 years we will be saying sorry for what we do today.

The USA is nothing but slaves.
Let me explain;
Where I work, we sell $250,000 worth of weed edibles every month.
There are only 3 females that make ALL the caramel and potdots.
Each makes $16.50/hr before tax.
The business pays these ladies basically $1000/bi weekly.
That means, where I work is paying $6000/mo to bring in $200,000.
We'll say the $50,000 is for supplies so these 3 ladies can actually make the caramel.
(although I know it's not even that high)
Now, if you ask me...
Labor extortion, is slavery.
It wasn't abolished, it was made legal for all to have slaves as long as you paid them some money. Today, its now ok to not even pay enough to live off of any more.
"You are free!" Really meant;
Give them a bit of illusionary freedom as i control them with money, instead of brute force like when a slave tried to run away, because that's alot of work...
Like I know business need to make profit, but do they really have to hoard so much value while the ones earning and producing them that value, struggle to eat?
It's crazy to me when businesses wonder why turnover rate, is so high....
But that sort of job requires such little skill that it's not worth it to a company to pay people more. The pay is based on the supply of people willing & able to do the job. Simple, straight forward work that almost anyone can do = low pay. Like flipping burgers it's entry level stuff that good for little other than proof you can show up which constitutes the job experience needed to move on to something better at some point in the future.
You whine. A LOT.
Those ladies are infinitely replaceable.
You are also infinitely replaceable.
The people that own the business are not.
They figured out:
The lease
The production pipeline
The accounting
The licenses
Banking (difficult with weed)
Hiring
And a million other smaller things.
———-
Quit bitching and figure out how to be less replaceable.
I'm so replaceable, I'll walk out of any job MYSELF.
🤣
I watched the last place I worked hire 5 people to take my one spot doing plant work for cannabis plants... I watched them doing the interviews, hiring, etc as I pick my g/f up...
They all wave and tell me I'll always have a spot if I wanna come back...
🤣🙄 Yeah... I wonder why....
My labor, is all I have in this world to earn any sort of value currently with my 8th grade education and zero tech skills...
NOBODY is going to out work me at any 9-5 I happen to be working at. EVER.
Why?
👇
I AM THE LAZIEST MF YOULL EVER MEET AT WORK AND I WILL FIND THE FASTEST AND EASIEST WAY TO PRODUCE THE RESULTS DESIRED OR EXCEED THEM.
Pay me a fair wage for what I make your business or its a fucking joke to me.
I've been homeless making igloos at parks to sleep in...
Think I won't sleep in the 08 benz I have now?
🤣
We all juggle the balls of life.
Friends, family, jobs.
2 of these balls are glass orbs and hard to repair if dropped.
1 ball is solid rubber.
I'll let you figure it out.
There are a lot more posts like this one. Mess with employees.. They hold the business together often enough. You know how many jobs I have had where I am the only one who knows how to do something? Or an account only I have the password to?
Sure.
Then demand your actual value.
This does not seem to be the case for the whiner.
Can say I whine all you want....
Sure I have opinions...
But You know I only have and 8th grade education, you've engaged enough with me to know the life situation I'm in, I hide nothing about it...
And "become less replaceable" is your advise?
Sounds like some vague bullshit you just say to make yourself feel better and to have an excuse to validate to yourself that "your helping"...
The only mfs on nostr that's even took the time to think about the life situation I'm in, and offer any sort of solid doable advise...
I CAN COUNT ON ONE HAND.
I'm whining for fucking help and ideas to improve my life and others but its like I'm brand new shouting into the void...
(I know it's just yall mf don't have a fucking clue what to do cuz your not in my shoes though)
Start here:
Download an audio book:
Brian Tracy, No Excuses.
Listen to it over the next month, slowing doing the exercises in each chapter.
Your situation won’t change unless you change.
Get back to us in a month and let us know how it’s going.
“the people that own the business are not” …oh, that’s where you are wrong.
"Labor extortion, is slavery.
It wasn't abolished, it was made legal for all to have slaves as long as you paid them some money. Today, its now ok to not even pay enough to live off of any more."
If only more realized this fact. 📢
“Slavery is not paying people what I think is enough” cheapens the horror of slavery. Slavery is forcing people to work with the ultimate threat of physical violence.
If you consent to work for even 2¢ an hour then you consented to it. If you volunteer to work for free, you’re also not a slave. These ladies are free to quit anytime, no one will hunt them down if they leave.
Why is internaltional student program slavery?
Allowed to come here without being able to pay for schooling. Forced to work slave labour jobs for minimum wage in Canada that cannot pay for them to live here or pay for school. Multiple international students pumped into houses with 16 people living in them. We have whole cities looking this way. Schools do it because they receive huge sums of money for allowing them in. They do it for the money, not to help an international student. All these international studens here need to pay for housing and school somehow so they take all the lowest wage jobs, keeping minimum wage low. They are essentially forced to work our countries worst jobs or be deported. Its a government tactic to keep wages low and act like they are woke by allowing these international students in. The students here are not happy with what is going on. They were promised a good safe life and are living on scraps as slaves. Its terrible. I feel for them.
Hmm...
So they are not required to show proof of ability to pay for schools before they were admitted by the schools?
Correct.
Wow what?! That doesn't make any sense...
WELCOME TO CANADA!
Wow
It's bad. Worse than I thought.
Anyone that has tried to call out these thing in the past has been called a racist. Only now is the majority of the Canadian population admitting these issues we are having. It gets even worse. Most of our housing problems, come from the government allowing millions of immigramts come here over the past couple years. Self censorship isnt a concept from China. We self censor in Canada for years now.
Man...
I have heard that Canadians have become complacent but really only because what happened the last 3 years.
Do you think it's related to the nice nature of the ppl there?
Yup. Our culture is very apologetic and afraid to confront issues. We try so hard not to be like the US. Due to us not being very confrontational, our government and businesses take advantage of us.
Canadians are apathetic and trusting to a fault. Their identities are founded upon a past that no longer exists. They look at the world outside, shrug and say, "Well, I guees it could be worst." Rather than using what they have at their disposal to make life better for themselves and the rest of the world.
Some Canadians.
Do you think it's most or even majority, for it to get where it's at now?
Based on our elections, it would be a majority of Canadians.
I dont think elections represent this very well.
How so?
What youre saying about Canadians cannot be determined by how we vote. We vote between two parties basically. It means nothing regarding who we are as a peeple or culture. Those are just two options we vote between.
I think you may have misunderstood me. I believe you can get a general idea of the culture of a country by looking at the policies and politicians that the majority of constituents vote for. If you took the policies of the Canadian government and transposed those on another, such as the US, many of them would be rejected outright by the majority of voters. This, one could argue, is a result of the differing cultures between each nation. I didn’t mean to suggest that you could determine everything about a country just by looking at their political parties.
“Peace, prosperity and good government.” Isn’t that the old Canadian saying? That represents a culture. I was agreeing with what you were saying in an earlier note.
Some, or most?
Some hotels in Niagara Falls have been converted to apartments because of how bad housing is here. I'm sure our revenue won't drop from the decrease in tourism, though.
Why wouldn't it drop?
I have personally seen it with my own eyes. They wander around loitering. 100% tourism has dropped. Me and my family as an example. We go less now. Thanks federal government for putting refugees from roxham road at our main tourist attraction!
I want to see Niagara falls tho. Almost went this year. Plan to go next year.
Still go. Its not ruined. Its just a lot of the businesses there have people loitering around them now. The falls is still breathtakingly beautiful. A nice trip for sure.
Stay on the US side. They have a park.
US side is depressing. All I hear about the US side is how fun the Canadian side is. We can also see both sides of the falls with amazing view. Parks are a plenty here.
Banning until the government handles it ethically.
agree.
I work in the food service/hospitality and have been bothered by these programs for years, the J1 work visa.
Horrible programs.
Indeed modern slavery, indentured servitude.
in the USA, BTW
"Modern slavery, indentured servitude."
Yup. Our countries are so great eh?
A couple Filipinos I work with just bought a house for around $700k for 8 (I believe) of them to live in. A couple others are planning to do the same. Currently looking at a new build that's closer to $800k...
WTF
I'm slowly becoming the minority at my job.
Hard to watch, comment, or confront any of it or you're deemed racist.
It's certainly interesting.
Why does every country use its own currency again? Oppression.
I’ve seen this in oz with Vietnamese refugees back in the day. A bunch buy one house all live in it. Pay it off quick by another house and rent it out. Pay this off even quicker. Rinse repeat and before you k is it they all own a house. The compounding effect is massive. They then buy a business and do the same. More power to them. I admire the hard work and building from nothing. We all need to learn from this
No we dont need to learn from this. We have the whole city of Brampton looking like this in Canada. Stuffing as many people as they can in 1 house. 12 cars parked out front. Huge fire hazards. Sanitary issuss. Its wrong and illegal often enough.

Fair comment. Hadn’t considered that
Its a big issue here for sure. They are hard workers though. Hard at working to exploit our system and take advantage of Canadian hand outs from our Liberal government. These people are not here to escape death etc. They are here to benifit themselves while fleeing their country instead of improving it. These are not refugees.
These schools taking in international students are diploma mills.
From Reddit:
If every TFW and student from India left the country overnight, just imagine what 2-4m less people would do for the country:
Fast food may need to pay beyond minimum wage, but prices will increase slightly;
Generally, upwards pressure on minimum wage jobs;
Rent and real estate prices decline;
Less strain on infrastructure;
No need for hundreds of billions in public spending in housing;
middle class standards improve;
standards of the wealthy decline.
How terrible.
