Why is it all Indians being brought in as TFW's, are people from other countries not willing to do this kind of work? Seems odd to only bring people in from one country instead of several different places but I guess if you need to live in a basement with 5 dudes to make it here that might be the case.

Not only that but 90% are from one state - Punjab.
Why build 10 different people pipelines when just one will do?

I have talked to a lot of business owners and they are all having a hard time finding workers. | I prefer actual factual evidence rather than anecdotal evidence, which is why I pulled out the numbers and official data from StatCan. I linked the data in my post so you can even see it yourself.
Like I mentioned in my previous post, numbers are just numbers. Things are never that simple. The questions you answered are too specific for StatCan to provide data for, but I used criteria to narrow it down as far as I could to provide you with a proper response.
All I can say is that the data and the numbers support the take that there is no unskilled labour shortage. Throw in hundreds of thousands of international students and TFW and it further supports that take. It's all objective and non-anecdotal.
Perhaps there is a labour shortage in your area, but that isn't reflective of all of Canada. People line up for blocks for a single entry level jobs in parts of Ontario right now. If I were to assume that everywhere across Canada was like that, we'd be at record unemployment levels - which as the numbers shows is not.

You got any friends or family desperate to come to Canada?
I have to ask why where almost all the pioneers from only a few European countries?

From my understanding, all the smart and educated ones go to the US or UK. Canada is a fall back plan for everyone else.
Those countries also put a limit on permits per country, something that Canada doesn't. I think the last official data for international students in 2023 had Indians being the majority at 40 something percent. It's probably a bit higher now.
As to why they're all from Punjab, maybe Manic knows?

Manic, please make a compelling argument for the benefit of Canada bringing over half of uneducated Punjab.
Outside of propping up these globo national corporations that provide virtually nothing to Canadian society in your Tim Hortons, Wendy’s, Subway, McDonald’s, what exactly are these people bringing to Canada?
They come here with undiagnosed medical conditions, they clog up the healthcare system, they abuse and are abused by labour laws, for what? The sake of peoples convenience with shitty fast food on every corner? Most aren’t even competent enough to be labourers in the construction industry.
Get rid of a third of these places these people work and we wouldn’t need their labour a longer.
We are losing educated professionals in exchange for uneducated labour. At the same time driving up rent prices, promoting disgusting housing arrangements, and generally deteriorating Canadian society.
Your “average” person is now coming to grips with what a problem this is. What’s going to be fucking hilarious is that PP is probably going to win a majority govt with barely a plan because all these liberal issues are just snowballing and coming to light more and more everyday.

Getting rid of 1/3 of those places would be terrible for the economy. People like your cousins husband who does commercial Hvac would be out of a job.
If you want to help the situation why not pop out 5 or 6 kids instead of running away to a country that has a min wage that's less than 1/2 of what we have in BC.

| You know when your buddy goes to a new restaurant and then the next day tells you how awesome it was? same thing here. You have a classmate or friend/family member come here and then start telling everyone how great Canada is. Canada has a very strong Sikh community that was started in the late 1800's. So it's easy for people from India to adjust to Canada. You would have a way easier time moving to a place in England than a remote village in China. You also have a lot of split families. one brother or sister may have come to Canada in the 60's or 70's while the other stayed behind. Now there are bringing over there nieces and nephews form India. Finally You have a whole immigration system in place with companies and agents in place to help people come to Canada.
Does not matter who wins the next election JT or PP it's not going to change.

The more people that come to Canada the more money I make. I am not the only one benefiting from this.

Honestly, it's given me a new understanding of right-wingers and how such sentiments start to build, too much of one thing at one time can create a real adverse reaction, such as this.
I miss the Filipinos at my local Church's or McDonald's, I like going to a small town and seeing a mix of staff. Heck the US still reminds me of that, you'll go into a fast food spot, and the staff is a mix of everything.
Why can't we have that? These new guys suck. We've created a class of service workers all from 1 specific country on the other side of the bloody world. | It's funny how many restaurants that were formerly run by Filipinos and replaced with Indians ended up tanking in their Google reviews. The people commenting even state it was 'better when the Filipinos ran it'
I wonder if getting a 3pc meal from Church's @ 120th St gets you a free referendum ballot vote for the next 'free Khalistan election' held at your nearest Uncledeep's marble-floored basement.

We have a few hundred apartment units being built down the street from us. Those construction workers many of them Mexican come to our store.

I’d also say that propping up all these shitty chains with cheap labour obviously has an adverse effect on small business and hole in the wall restaurants as why would any restaurateur want to try to afford a space next to a guy who can staff a subway with 8 TFW sharing the same bed? It’s impossible to keep up with the rising rents paid for by cheap labour, both on the housing side and business side

It's a race to the bottom for these establishments. Cut cost on the labour, cut cost on the food, and make money off of volume based strictly on there being no other options.

Seems like it might be a good idea to shut down any old social media accounts and start off completely fresh again if anyone ever has aspirations to go into politics...

Aye. I thought about it too.
I had an opportunity recently to move to Tacoma. Get paid in usd for quite a bit more than staying here but we just got this house and are still settling in.
I’d have to go rent a place down there for 2k usd a month and only see the wife every weekend. Didn’t seem like it’s worth it.
