Stop Temporary Foreign Workers

I guess companies are sick and tired of listening to Canadians moaning and there lazy work ethic

 

It's simple. Companies are not paying a living wage... for Canadians. For immigrants, where there's 3,4, or even 5 people pooling incomes in a family, the cheaper wages don't have such a negative effect.

 

There is a shortage of skilled guys willing to work. I'm looking for a man right now in Medicine Hat Alberta. I'm offering more money than most people have ever seen and more money than others in my area.
I have no resumes from anyone with any experience at all. None. Zero. I'm considering looking abroad.

Not sure what real estate is like in Medicine Hat Albers but my daughter sold her non descript 3 bedroom bungalow in Ft Mac Alberta for $790k in 2014. Wages have to be in line with COL. Ft Mac had serious shortage of employees at the big box stores.
$40 a hour a guy would be living in his Yugo

 

Lucky her. She got out at the right time. Despite the fire taking out a lot of homes the real estate prices here are still way down.

Still a lot of good paying work here though so its still worth riding it out. I'm optimistic for this winter.

 

Not all people wishing to work in Canada are trying to escape the persecution in there own country and looking for a better life. I for one , it's been a life long ambition to drive through Canada and the State , not to make it rich but to see the country and meet the people that make the place tick. Do local driver really dislike foreigners that much? I know of 3 Canadian drivers working here in NZ and love the way they're treated .

 

Thats funny ,the only trolling l do is out the back of my boat . Actually we have almost the same legal driving hours as Canada, l do my 14 hour day and 70 hour week every week . If company's are bring in cheap overseas labour to drive down wages then l absolutely agree with many of your and others comments on the subject, but if there is a genuine "shortage" of suitable applicants then why not allow foreign drivers to full the shortfall. We have the same issue here in NZ , and l have always wondered if it's a shortage of drivers or shortage of money's to pay suitable people thats the real problem . When l was eighteen l couldn't wait to get behind the wheel but now days young people don't seem to look down the "truck driver " job path .. As for seeing your country been there done that, and what a wonderful place it is , it's just l love my truck driving . Don't be over sensitive buddy EH
Can't wait for Marlin season so l can do some more trolling.
