Carney expands TFW program while unemployment soars and wages are stagnant

I did not think it was possible but Carney is even worse for the working class than his predecessor.

Why are Liberals expanding temporary foreign worker program?
High unemployment, a jobs crisis for young Canadians and yet the Liberals are pushing ahead to broaden it

On the same day that Statistics Canada revealed a higher unemployment rate of 6.7% and a youth unemployment rate of 14.1%, the Carney government made it easier for some employers to hire temporary foreign workers. On March 13, the latest Labour Force Survey showed that Canada had lost 108,000 full-time jobs and that over the past year had added more than 30,000 people to the unemployment line.

Still, labour minister Patty Hajdu announced that employers would be allowed to "increase the allowable share of low-wage temporary foreign workers from 10% to 15% of their workforce in eligible rural regions."

And they are not doing anything about scam international students either.

Canada's immigration department only conducted 4,057 investigations in 2023 and 2024 out of a total of 153,000 cases of potential non-compliance under Canada's international student program, according to a new report by the auditor general released on Monday.

The report said nearly 93 per cent of 700 Canadian learning institutions submitted reports between 2023 and 2024 that flagged the 153,000 cases of potential fraud or non-compliance.

But the department only has funding to investigate 2,000 cases annually. Of the investigations the department did conduct, the report said the department took "limited action" in confirming non-compliance beyond contacting the student for more information.

Economic bad news again from Ontario. The Algoma steel plant in Sault Ste. Marie has started to lay off hundreds of workers today. And take note because of radical green policies that forced this company to go to electric furnaces, this company could no longer compete in the free market.

Ontario is our economic bread basket and she is getting hit terribly on the manufactoring front. Up to 1000 workers will be laid off in an already weak economy here in Canada.

But dimwitted progtards just keep electing Liberals. You who are economically and politically illiterate who get all your insight from the legacy media.

Our country is in a dangerous mess and we have the worse people running it.

Big cuts to the number of temporary foreign workers was one of many campaign promises he broke as soon as he won the election.

Well, just another liberal promise broken.
