Getting a bit tired of hysteria about TFWs
Yawn, so now Kenney (who supposedly is now the minister of employment, not immigration) has said that the TFW cannot be used by fast food restaurants. And there was that whole RBC scandal with the TWP.
On the basis of what can only be described as some hysteria whipped up by CBC.
I appreciate that maybe some of the employers weren't following the rules but on the other hand it's not clear cut. There are various legal avenues, employment standards, human rights complaint, etc. but no, let's have hysterical reporting by the CBC knowing full well the employer can't comment for legal reasons. Apparently you can also complain to ESDC directly and get the LMO revoked: http://www.esdc.gc.ca/eng/jobs/forei..._revoked.shtml
I know years ago I went into fast food restaurants that appeared to be run by children the labour shortage was so bad (and so we had radio ads explaining the child labour laws) and the local BK used to close on weekends(!) because they didn't have enough staff (now apparently they are all Filipino).
There's a legal procedure here and it all seems to be knee-jerk at the moment.
