Just Not ready

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Locals should be embarrassed for even going to Tim Hortons.

I hit them for an ice cap every once in a while during summer.

At the risk of sounding like a racist prick.....tell me where they come from?

Every fast food place in my town (except McDonalds) got hit with health code violations this year. Over the last 3 years ALL of them have been purchased by families from India and employ workers from India.

Good friends of mine from India, who have been in Canada for a few years, are not surprised. They say that the local colloquialism back home for how you feel after going to one of the many quick stops for food is a "Delhi Belly".

Welcome to the new world Canada. You want to let these people come here and not hold them to our standards, then congrats, you have what they left behind as the new norm.

Some of these jobs seem to pay pretty well.

Part of the problem is that a ton of Canadian-born young people don't want to work at a Booster Juice or Tim Hortons. They also don't want to go work in an industrial setting because the labour is too hard.

We literally just hired a handful of people here where I work that were unqualified, all but one of them can't do the job worth shit, but hey, guess what, regular every day Canadian folks don't want to do the job so this is what we get.

Congrats British Colombia.....your loved ones who require an ambulance might actually end up having two people show up who you cannot understand, and cannot actually figure out what to do for you if you don't answer the scripted questions in the right order and with scripted answers. It's absolutely terrifying.

Jeezus, that's not good, Mëds. In that case, the new generation won't be able to carry the country forward.

I have a hard time believing there aren't Canadians willing and able to manage a Booster Juice franchise in Calgary for $36.50 an hour, but maybe you're right. My gut says a lot of this is just gratuitous Liberal globalism though.

I would bet an Xtra large double double at Singh Hortons that there was no job at Booster juice paying $30+/hr

If there was there would be a lineup for it
If you need air...call it in

That's not how this program works Cuz. These positions are for foreign workers only.

Canadians can go pound sand.

*Pierre Pollievre is one of the sources for the story btw.

Did he also mention that only 10% of workers can be foreign at each work location. So Booster Juice would have only one such worker.

Also call BS on the restriction of jobs to foreign workers. He might be thinking of the occupation-restricted foreign work permit for things like nannies. This is different than the temporary foreign worker program.

Cypress must have a huge workforce then, because they seem to be employing 37 of them.

LOL I dig it :D

Now if Pollievre's staff is allowing him to go in front of the camera and complain about a bogus story, that's going to be all over the news.
