Re “Temporary foreign workers taking jobs from young Canadians”
This [wire service article reproduced in the FreeP] article is deeply troubling, in large part for the way it has been framed.
You have a choice with a headline. The story is really about how the Conservatives accuse the Liberals have broken their promise to Canadians about limiting immigration numbers. The “stealing jobs” boogieman headline is clickbait, not actually elucidating the article.
Equally irresponsible: nowhere in the article does anyone clearly and in simple language refute the obvious mendacity about temporary foreign workers stealing jobs from young people.
Canada is a deeply racist country that maintains a temporary form worker program to obtain a workforce do the jobs Canadians won't do, certainly not for those wages nor under those conditions.
In fact, immigrants create jobs. It takes an entrepreneurial spirit to leave the familiarity of home to strike out somewhere new. That courage and ingenuity often extends to starting a business.
I am disappointed that the newspaper would aid and abet the tired, false, hatemongering political rhetoric about immigrant stealing jobs through this poorly reported article.
You could have reported on the discrepancy between Liberal promises and Liberal action without repeating Conservative lies.
