Bob Long Posted Tuesday at 10:23 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:23 PM 1 minute ago, Elias Pettersson said: Trudeau literally said there are too many people coming into Canada. So I guess I must be agreeing with Trudeau then. My bad... again, you're not really being honest. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the government wants to rein in the number of temporary immigrants coming to the country, saying the situation needs to be brought “under control.” “Whether it’s temporary foreign workers or whether it’s international students in particular, that have grown at a rate far beyond what Canada has been able to absorb,” Trudeau said at a housing announcement in Dartmouth, N.S. https://globalnews.ca/news/10397176/trudeau-temporary-immigration-canada/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spur1 Posted Tuesday at 10:40 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:40 PM What ever happened to doing it yourself instead of an under paid wage slave. Many businesses in the day were family run and had very few employees. These days business owners want to live like a 9-5 wage slave and have tons of time off to spend their exploited money.

Tim's can't find enough employees like most other businesses right now. 1 hour ago, King Heffy said: There's a lot of jobs that people born here, for whatever reason, aren't willing to do for the amount and conditions being offered. The alternative is Tim's either jacking up their prices or going out of business. The cons will blame Trudeau for that too. Yeah, I think some people are conflating housing shortages with work shortages and I think that's misleading....especially if immigrants are being blamed for both. We've seen a ton of students from India here and yes, there are challenges with finding places to stay, but none of them have had much trouble finding work. As long as you're willing to work in the service industry, you should be okay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought fish and chips from a Syrian lady who owned a little shop on the wharf in Pictou NS. She told me that she talked to family that day and it was 45c where she came from, her brother was still imprisoned, she had 12 friends & relatives including her father that had been killed. She came here with her 12 year old son and a sister. Loves Canada and is so thankful to be safe. Don’t know what she pays for rent but… Don't know WTF you're talking about Pete....

Sapper Posted Wednesday at 12:07 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:07 AM Oh the irony..... Both PP and Truduea behind the scenes are concerned about yesterday's byelection This could be the push that turfs truduea for new leadership and that has PP concerned Imagine a new Liberal leader ... Say it's Mark Carney Act 1 - replace finance minister Act 2 - declare that following the next election everything carbon tax will come under provincial only jurisdiction. Feds set carbon target and leave it to provinces to implement , collect and anything carbon rebate related no longer comes from the feds .... It comes from the provinces only ( this would potentially cause Alberta and Saskatchewan to change governments when rebates stop coming for millions of their voters lol .... ) A new leader and those 2 items could potentially turn this into a majority for them ..... It would eliminate 2/3 of the reasonable.voters concerns Too bad truduea is too ego driven to take that walk in the snow ..... That he needs to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
