Royal Bank not very Canadian

It's pretty much the way of the future. Our whole shopping experience is changing and will continue to do so. It will be huge conglomerates and then little local guys. The little locals will survive due to low overhead and community support but the days of semi-large are fading fast.
We do! This was ust a thinly veiled attempt at circumventing those laws and now the word is out the same ministry that approved all the temporary work visas is going to investigate the issue. It seems that either Citizenship & Immigration were either complicit in the plan or incompetent in their initial evaluation of the applications. Either way it does not give one any confidence that our govt is adhering to or upholding the laws that they ask us to abide by.
so just another usual day in the neighbourhood then... until it hits the media.
Not really.
iGate staff are in IT, those being laid off are from regulatory and financial applications.
I can see how that might not raise flags.
I'd wager nothing comes of an investigation, since the two dept's are not related.
I also believe in respecting jurisdictional boundaries. And when we consider that free trade generally benefits the poorer country, yes support for free trade can be viewed as humanitarian.
Not that wealthy. But I could afford to pay a little more in taxes easily enough to provide education to those who need it. You see, I'm not that bad after all, eh.
No, not against outsourcing per se. However, I do want the cost of my products to reflect their true cost in non-renewable resources. Raising the cost of such resources woudl do that. Funny how that works, eh. The fact that it would reduce certain types of imports and exports would naturally promote local consumption. That's not my intent, but tht would be a natural consequence of my proposal, which I thoght you'd like.
Maybe, maybe not. But it would definitely make distance an increased cost to business, no?
I dropped a Friend off at work earlier today, and she had her first two
customers before I left. One guy was just there as the other guy tried
on a few different motorcycle helmets 'till he found the fit and brand he
liked.
Then he left to go home and see what that same helmet (Maybe $200
retail in that local shop) could be found for price-wise on-line now that
he knew what brand & size suited him best. In this instance, it doesn't
matter what the little locals overhead is, as it would have to be stuffed
into the retail price that the online virtual outlet wouldn't have, and this
sort'a thing happens often. I wouldn't want to own a shoe store at this
point in time.
ITs in India? I wonder if they're related to the ones who keep phoning and telling me they're from Microsoft?....
Being a Canadian Citizen has it's rights and privileges and protections and when the federal government brings in foreign workers so that companies can lay off their present employees so they can pay less than minimum wages as far as I am concerned that government is committing treason.
The Federal gov't did no such thing.
You could at least try and stay ground and within the confines of reality once in a while, there are already enough nutters running around here.
Looks like governments are excempt from treason but seems to me that the Conservatives are selling out Canadians because of all their free trade agreements the signed

That bears no weight in supporting the nuttery contained in your previous post, nor does it contain anything that the present gov't is guilty of.
Maybe you and PNhead should get together and start a group session so you can get past your paranoid delusions.
I'm a consultant Machjo; so each time I succeed, I come to an end of the contract, essentially, I 'lose' my job a few times a year
That said, I think that I would be suitable for skills training in the niche area of beer drinkin' at the nudie bar... The course is quite extensive and regrettably, pretty expensive with all the beer and a lot of money in five dollar bills for tucking into the g-string of the performers.
... When can I expect to receive the re-training funds?
ChRETIeN set the pattern. Apparently Harpy is just following the pattern. Get it?
I understand that you're babbling out your *** and can't answer my question.
Isn't that enough?
