Stop Temporary Foreign Workers

Update:

Here in One Trick Pony (aka "Alberta") the oil industry is freeing thousands of truck drivers to pursue other opportunities (like unemployment). These newly available truck drivers will have a ripple effect across Canada. So where are the Temporary Foreign Worker truck drivers now that we have even more Canadian truck drivers not working as truck drivers than usual? The Temporary Foreign Worker truck drivers are still here, with more on the way! As if wages weren't bad enough to begin with, trucking company owners are using this opportunity to drive down wages with Temporary Foreign Workers! I'm not sure if trucking could be any more ridiculous.

 

CBC: TFW's in the Maritimes

"Picard estimates 80 per cent of trucking companies in Atlantic Canada use the program."

Failed State.

 

To be more precise, if you are a trucking company in the maritimes (highest unemployment in Canada) you cook up a fake LMO and displace Canadians with TFW's. Truck drivers in the maritimes then flee the maritime TFW's to Alberta only to be replaced by more TFW's in Alberta (which is still using fake LMO's to employ TFW's despite thousands of Canadian truck drivers recently being laid off in Alberta).

So truck drivers are fleeing the globalization of truck drivers wages thanks to the Government of Canada which is complicit with lying trucking company owners who are on a mad race to the absolute bottom, which would be the country with the lowest truck driver wages, Sierra Leone. The minimum-wage in Sierra Leone is three cents an hour. So eventually a truck driver in Vancouver (where a house costs a million dollars) will be earning three cents an hour and will be forced to flee to Saint John, New Brunswick only to be replaced by a TFW in New Brunswick because the New Brunswick trucking company owner cooked up a fake LMO and hired some Filipino truck drivers (with typically fake Filipino qualifications) who are more compliant than Canadian truck drivers because the trucking company owner can threaten the Filipinos with deportation.

Trucking company owners would prefer slavery but the TFW Program is the next best thing!

And the Filipino TFW killed a Canadian family in a minivan because he did not know that snow is slippery.
