Stopped ?

Absolutely stopped ?

Why do you say that ?Right - your input here is an example of the type of dialogue that prevents open discussion, IMO.

 

Yes absolutely stopped. Why? Because it serves CANADIANS no purpose other than to drag our wages down. The only ones who benefit from that program are those who take the money and run, leaving Canadian taxpayers to fill the void.

 

Ya, and open discussion means what? Another 5-10 yrs of this bs program while some rigged study panel looks into the 'merits' of it while they're being paid off by the corporate filth who already benefit from it? That type of open discussion?

Do we need to limit the temp worker program ? Maybe we do.

There's no maybe about it, that program should be stopped immediately.

 

Our unemployment numbers are going up, more and more are under employed, more and more are struggling to make ends meet because wages haven't kept up with the cost of living..

 

The last thing this country needs is the filthy rich corporate scum bringing in TFW to steal jobs from Canadians so they can increase their profit margins.

Well at least Ralph Klein will have someone to hang out with in hell.

 

Good riddens to her. As Elvis Costello once wrote: Tramp the dirt down.

 

On a side note, I downloaded 'Ding Dong the witch is dead' on I-Tunes to help push it up to the top of the charts.

 

We'll see if the BBC has the stones to play it in their weekly countdown or if they succumb to the pressure of the Thatcher elitests.

And now we know who and what saved Canada economy in the first place. The opposition.

I'd hate to think where we'd be today if not for them...

Given that those two economic idiots, Harper and Flaherty couldn't see the  the looming recession that everyone else knew was already happening.

Dumb AND dumber those two...

Ya the Canadian economy is just chugging along...  

OTTAWA - Canada's economy nudged forward a disappointing 0.1 per cent in May, falling well back of analyst expectations for a robust advance prior to the anticipated summer slowdown.
May's number released Tuesday left April's 0.3 per cent expansion as the only stellar month for the economy so far this year.
Economists had expected a more robust showing of 0.2 per cent, and some even 0.3 per cent, given previous indicators that suggested retail sales, manufacturing and wholesale trade would all contribute to growth.
Retail sales did perform strongly, rising 0.7 per cent after a slightly larger decline in April, while wholesale trade edged up 0.1 per cent, the sixth consecutive advance.
But manufacturing fell by 0.5 per cent, mainly as a result of lower production of machinery, computer and electronic products and primary metals. Construction was also down, by 0.2 per cent, a further sign of the slowdown in the residential housing market.
As well, transportation and warehousing services declined 0.5 per cent, although that was largely attributed to a decline in rail services due to the late May strike at Canadian Pacific Railway.
"All told, this sets the second quarter on track for no better than two per cent growth, and will lead to downward revisions in the consensus for the (second) quarter," said Avery Shenfeld, chief economist with CIBC World Markets.
