Just about all housekeeping jobs here are foreign workers. The Govt pays half their salaries so why wouldn't the hotels and motels hire them first? (that and most Canadians think that job is 'below them' is also a factor)

so then no problem because they can't find Canadians to do the jobs, this is about jobs that Canadians are currently doing and then losing to temp workers who won't be temp but will remain here working for ever under the guise of temp...down the road they will open for terrible abuse because their jobs are tied to their employers...it's a mess and we'd best fix it right now.Just about all housekeeping jobs here are foreign workers.

Which details do you think are missing?
Possibly none, we just don't know until we've heard the whole story.
it's a mind set ES (although I get what you are saying I do not agree with your perspective)
...the people I despise are those who want to keep people down in subtle or not so subtle ways...I want things to be fair...that is not a political bent but a mind set...and it's not about a political party or left leaning or right leaning... right is right and wrong is wrong...this issue is about our rights as Canadians to be able to support ourselves via employment.
It's about an employer taking unfair advantage of a procedure that was meant to help them to run their business but not take an unfair advantage of current employees.
So how can I sound like the people I despise? Fair is just fair and here it is quite black and white.

Oh, O.K. I hadn't heard the employer's response! -We already have heard the whole story.
Slave alien labour is what gives us the extra spending money we all love dearly.ICE raided meat plants all over the mid-west a few years back. Rounding up all illegal aliens. They were doing jobs Americans didn't want to do. However when the company had to hire US Citizens to stay afloat... the lines stretched forever for Americans trying to get these jobs.

And just last week we heard McDonald's in Canada is importing labor and putting them up in apartments with other imported labor and back charging their employees for rent.
Just like the Coal Mine towns of 1920s Pennsylvania.
Not just any apartment either. A penthouse. What was the thought process on that?
I wonder how many they can fit in that?

The employers response was clear as a bell on the ROE.
They were charged the going rate for rent and utilities. $12 an hour pay is 20% higher than minimum wage.
A Canadian paid the same rate would live alone after getting rent supplements from the Gov.
take home is $1660/month IF no CCP, or EI is deducted. That's not much. Specially if you're hoping to send some home to your family pay your rent, phone, utilities, food, clothes, tranportation.
TFWs don't pay into pogey or CPP because they can't collect it. They do get all the other benefits Canadians do like getting a health card.
$12 an hour is a lot better than minimum is it not?
They pay TFWs $13 in SK for Mc D's. Is that too little too?
too little for what?
