Carney in 2013 on the Temporary Foreign Workers Program.
"One doesn't want an over-reliance, certainly, on temporary foreign workers for lower-skilled jobs, which prevent the wage adjustment mechanism from making sure that Canadians are paid higher wages."

Canadian-Born Punjabi Trucker UNLOADS on Corrupt Employers: “They Destroyed Our Industry”
(WARNING: Crude language.)
A Canadian-born Punjabi trucker speaks to @MediaBezirgan about what he calls the corruption and negligence destroying Canada’s trucking industry, laying blame squarely on exploitative employers from India, weak government oversight, and unsafe practices.

“They should go back to their fing countries and stop fing with mine," expressed Sunny, a 15-year veteran truck driver frustrated with what has become of his industry.

Sunny highlights how corrupt foreign firms are driving good Canadian companies out of business by cutting corners, underpaying unskilled non-citizen drivers, and neglecting truck maintenance.

"You guys destroyed my fing industry — charging LMIA drivers $40,000 to start, enough for a down payment on a brand new truck — and then you pay them cents on the dollar, if you even fing pay them. On top of that, you neglect f*ing maintenance — I don’t know why the government allowed you guys to do this, but it’s unacceptable."

"Tomorrow somebody could beat me up because they're frustrated of these Indian drivers that wear flip-flops and don't take s*** seriously," added Sunny.

Sunny spoke about the recent accident in Florida where an illegal Punjabi truck driver took the lives of 3 Americans by making a U-turn on a highway.

"That guy didn't even fing care -- and that's what these guys are all like -- they do this everyday -- since these immigrants started coming here our truck insurance has doubled up."

Sunny calls on all truck drivers to not work with corrupt trucking firms and instead work with long-established Canadian firms that cares about public safety.

I read the liberal platform. I know a thing or two about govt budgets having worked for a Finance minister.

This plan will lead to Canada losing its AAA credit rating.

Markets were expecting (wrongfully) something serious to come from an ex-central banker. They were wrong.

And mark my words they will react.

The craziest thing in there is the creative accounting regarding investments vs. spending. Liberals will pretend that "investments" (I presume infrastructure? who knows cause there aren't any details!) don't count in the deficit, and so they will be able to "balance the budget" by 2030.

Unfortunately, their 250 billion dollars (!!) in new spending will still add to the debt. You just won't see it. Canada, in its current state, can't afford this.

As an economist, I honestly was expecting more from Carney.

Section 464 of the Criminal Code lays out the distinct offence of "counselling an offence that is not committed," making the counselor (say, MP Bounty Hunter) liable to the same punishment as someone who attempts to commit the offence (harm by the Chinese regime).

🇨🇦 now warning citizens not to travel to the 🇺🇸 or 🇨🇳 because it no longer has diplomatic capabilities.

In just 3 years, 🇨🇦 went from having a top passport due to its diplomatic strength to one where its citizens can’t visit places w/nearly half the world’s population.

Ronald Reagan declaring that the US should not listen to American demagogues willing to start trade wars with peaceful allies.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Ronald Reagan: “Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies; they are our allies.

We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends—weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.”

@Marilyn66099348 @ctvottawa The largest cuts to the Canadian government workforce occurred during 1995 under Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and Finance Minister Paul Martin as part of their efforts to reduce the federal deficit.

[Marc Lévesque @MarcLevesqueEco]

Here they go again about hidden agendas. They do this all the time, as they did with Harper, but the hidden agendas never materialize. In fact, the only true hidden agenda I can think of was the Liberals' intention to never balance the budget. THAT was a hidden agenda in 2015.

The Bank of Canada's actions have nothing to do with your "economic plan" and in fact, your "economic plan" is not helping the Bank at all.
