its very hard to go to work when you have a young kid at home who needs to be taken care of especially If you are only earning $12 an hour.

No shyte! Really?

Do you also think people that turn 65 and retire should also collect?



You should run along and let the adults talk





No, all the Mennonite farm workers drive them here. BMWs are big to.

Farm "workers" don't get F plates. Owners do.

It's nice you've changed your opinion tho.

No seriously. Let the adults have a conversation.

Now now, Stuart, be a good boy.

Not really. One can ask veiled, pointed questions like, if the applicant has a family of their own. If the answer is 'No', the employer might want to think about hiring someone else.



You have to find a way to ask if the candidate is of childbearing age, or has children who might get sick, or has elderly parents who might get sick.

It's better to import 3rd world people

Well, if you hate Canada and cry yourself to sleep every night at being a member of the oppressive majority culture, and try desperately to paint your skin a darker shade so you can feel like a member of the victim culture, perhaps.

Those who think we have a pretty decent country and don't want it overrun with third world barbarians think differently.

No he thinks 3rd world people are beneath him and needs to boost himself up by bringing those beneath him up to where he was.

A full time year round job would have done the same for him.

Or even if you just realize that we need more taxpayers to support the pigs at the trough. My preference would be to cut off the gravy train but since that isn't going to happen, massive immigration is the next best option

That you like the country the way it is, is irrelevant. It's not sustainable.

Who is the victim in the immigration story other than the poor suffering white people who only want to keep things the way they are?

Do think that the fact a discussion about parental leave devolves into a rant against immigration is an issue.

Yes. I really do.

IN fact if you want to know why we aren't really allowed to discuss these kinds of issues on the CBC website - this is why.

Immigration would not be a hot button issue at all if they were only coming from a select few (read mostly white) countries such as Australia or the UK

Separating metal, glass and plastic is a highly technical job that requires a lot of knowledge don't you know!

Does it bother you to have your ass handed to you on a regular basis by a recycling sorter...or is it an unemployable living in his mother's basement? It seems to change from hour to hour
