    I've been reading your posts for a while. You are strongly against the influx of foreign labor . I can fully understand your point, what you fear already happened here in Europe, and it created fear, pain and ...slavery.
    I've been running long-haul for some 28 years. My last 3 employers laid me off, cause they couldnt keep up with the way things go here; me, Dutch driver with centuries experience, by law required a salary of around $4000 net a month. A bulgarian, now allowed to drive anywhere in the EU, driving for..less than $800 net an month.

    Getting the picture?


    We're not talking the infamous 15% less here, are we?


    Canada isn't the country of my dreams. After 3 verry demotivating attempts, i'm even contemplating to give up.

    You can think you want no more immigrants, but hey, what were your ancestors???

    Or are you first nation? if not, I think you have no right to be against ..me.


    And don't blame me for undercutting wages. I have turned down 2 applications cause of the narrow-minded LMO- you-gonna-be-my-slave-thing.

    Preparing an ad with resume for Kijiji, I will put it here...

    My ancestors didn't come over from one of the two FOUNDING countries to steal jobs from Canadians on a temporary foreign workers permit.

    From 1763 until the Canadian Citizenship Act came into force on January 1, 1947, people born in Canada were all British subjects. Since immigrants born in Great Britain and the Commonwealth were already British subjects, they had no need to become naturalized or to obtain British citizenship in Canada.

    Semantics. Where would this country, or North America for that matter, be without all of the post war immigrants? I agree with you on the TFW program, but what's wrong with someone wanting to immigrate to another country to make a better life for themselves?

    The problem with your theory is IF you're used to living in a mud hut, then a sod hut is an improvement to you!

    I have no problem with that, the problem I have is that there is NO DRIVER SHORTAGE in Canada so when we IMPORT truck drivers it doesn't allow the free markey system to take place and IF the alleged truck driver shortage were to take place then wages would increase without the influx of foreighn driers.

    It's full here. You can come so long as we get to send one back. Probably won't be a Dutchman we choose either.

    So now you resort to name calling because you lack basic english comprehension skills. I even capitalized the pertinant word for you so you wouldn't miss it. That's unfortunate....
