When you’ve even lost the headline writers at the CBC, it’s time to take a long walk in the snow…

Specialized workers coming to install specialized/proprietary equipment and then training local workers on how to use them is not the type of temp foreign labour we should be bitching about.

>There are about 70 foreigners working at the NextStar job site, according to government data. That’s a relatively small number compared to the 2,000 Canadian construction workers who are working alongside them to get the Windsor plant up and running.
What a fucking joke. 70 out of over 2000? Is there *anything* Poilievre is honest and genuine about?

…why don’t they just ask Doug Ford then? Half the deal is provincial.

>As confirmed by NextStar, less than four per cent of the workforce on the site currently are temporary foreign workers. Our government is committed to maximizing Canadian jobs and Canadian workers.
4%? That’s it?

“Eight years ago, under the conservative government 300,000 manufacturing jobs were lost in Canada.”
Does he not know who was in government eight years ago?

I’m not sure what else people need to see to know that PP doesn’t actually give a crap about the economy (or housing or healthcare or the environment or immigration)

There is nothing worse out there than Trudeau so just get rid of him for Pierre or a Gold Fish I don’t care

This is type of shit that gets unions a bad name. The number of foreign workers is tiny, and it’s a temporary construction project that hasn’t been done before. Unions leaders get paid to complain but they should be at least somewhat aware of how their antics reflect on public sympathy for the labor movement in general.

Don’t we already have factory in Canada that was supposed to hire Canadians and instead they brought in 1500 foreigners?

We’re worried about foreign workers, all of a sudden?

This is a good example of them pretending to care and stirring up controversy. If they really cared they’d want to investigate Loblaws, Walmart, Tim Hortons, and all the other corporations that have become reliant on abusing the TFW program to import low-wage labour instead of being forced to compete in the market. But the conservatives (as with the other parties) would never do that because it benefits corporations and their profits over Canadians.

The “CONS” aren’t worried about anything. They’re just using this bullshit to spread more false information to rile up their base of ignorant numpties. Great job CBC playing right into their hands instead of calling them out and providing the facts!

There are no details. The Liberal party doesn’t have a business plan or even a business case to support the decision.

This is shit Pierre. I’m gonna vote for you, and I generally prefer blue governments to red ones (but not always); but this is a bad take on a non-issue.
I appreciate that it’s one of the duties of the opposition to take government to task on issues, and please keep doing it. But let this one lie. It’s a good deal and we need it.
