Canadian workers passed-over for cheap labour – Liberal-NDP govt has sold out Canada. Let’s go down this shady, abusive, scandal ridden rabbit hole …

Sure, we’ve all heard the complaints, we see the changes with our very own eyes, we see titbits of information here and there, people are called racist when they point it out… but after hearing the UN blast Canada for slavery, it seems many have been sounding the alarm for a long time. I don’t claim to know much about any of this in depth, but I didn’t want to lose sight of this gigantic rabbit hole, where others explain in much more detail.

Canada's immigration system is broken.

But instead of fixing the problem, the Liberals have chosen to play the blame game. 

That’s not surprising. But where they're pointing fingers is.

I work in the government department that does LMIAs. (Ask Me Anything)
LMIA: A Labour Market Impact Assessment is a document that an employer in Canada may need to receive prior to hiring a foreign worker. When a Canadian employer is seeking to hire a foreign worker, it must first be determined if an LMIA is needed or if the position is LMIA-exempt before applying for a work permit.

Now combine the fact these businesses in one of the posts earlier are incentivized to hire newcomers for minimum wage working in rough conditions and you can easily see why it’s almost impossible for Canadian youth, vets, the disabled or those just wanting to work to find jobs.

Make no mistake, this is a direct assault on Canada’s working class.
