“Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre wants the federal government to axe the temporary foreign worker program, saying it has flooded the market with cheap labour and made it harder for young Canadians to find work.”

TFW are not stealing jobs. They are not cheap labour. Employers must pay TFWs at least the same wages that a Canadian citizen would receive to work in the same position.

Where else have we heard this type of argument? Hmm? 🤔

They are infact stealing Canadian jobs leaving Canadians destitute.

A perfect example of that is the Laborers in Fort Mc Murray. They are Canadians that are ussually from economically depressed Cape Breton and have come to depend on these in the Albertan tar sands. They make 39 dollars per hour.

Last year a new worker showed up. They are Indian from India and they were making 17.50 per hour. Which to brag is 2.50 more then minimum wage.

So to say that TFW are not stealing jobs is false. To say that they are not cheap labour is false.

Employers do not pay at least the same wages that a Canadian would make in the same position.🙂

A TFW worker in the tar sands makes 21.50 CAD less then a Canadian doing the same job in an industry that is posting record profits.

Well, I have given you enough time to respond, and you are a purveyor of fake news and a spreader of outright lies. You should be shamed of yourself. The youth are suffering because of your lies.
