CFIB head defends foreign-worker program
There is no doubt that foreign workers may add to a national economy where a nation’s own citizen’s are lacking in numbers or demographics and geographical availability.
Due to the economics of global commerce and instant NET communications, people that would otherwise have been unaware or simply had missed the boat on the possibility of hoping on board towards a new life and dream in another country especially third world would simply have stay in their own native countries.
Because of the shift for example in Canada on the low population density of a little over 30 million with such a huge land mass, no doubt there is plenty of room for more. The problem however stems from the fact that Canada has very few major population centers called aptly Cities and mostly in the lower southern tiers of the country.
That makes and exacerbates the issue of displacing Canadians who would otherwise be available for work. It is no surprise that most Canadians are not up to speed due to the long lasting mindset over time of one job for life and little in the way of opportunities to relearn, reshape and adapt to the changing needs of the economy. Simply put, if let’s say for argument’s sake that we had taken the low points of the economy in the past and again for argument’s sake the ’90’s as a transitional and transformational period where even Governments where in the business of change and IT Industries were starting to make their marks due to NET changes and access, even then the issues of unemployed Canadians with little to show in skills and with resistance and inabilities to adapt to change would have been a moot point.
So with that the need for ever increasing numbers of immigrants. Rightly so due to economics and industries in need. However once again the whole scenario is a bit more complex that simply adding more people.
Immigrants themselves when faced with a new country’s requirements find themselves short changed in being unable to find suitable employment and vertical access to better jobs themselves. There are probably as many reasons as there are people as to why. That puts a secondary burden on social programs to keep the masses inline and moving in some way shape or form.
Those who benefit the most are those who take advantage of the tug of war between Canadians in need, but lacking here and there and new arrivals who are not totally up to speed. The difference lies in the fact that both are looking for something non-existent and purely a visual illusion and sound bite of what could be. A never ending chase for something that may happen like winning the lottery, only on to those with survival of the fittest in terms of endurance and determination.
What we see as a result quite often are the breakdowns of social discontent and madness in the expressions of violence and mayhem towards vulnerable sectors of the public who entrust their lives and safety in the hands of those who rightly or wrongly serve the industries who scream and shout for more labor.
Where we used to export and call it offshore – now we import and call it inshore. Same diff. Whether here or there people are fooled into believing that they have a truly great chance at winning the dream lottery.
Yes they can, however removing the blinders and seeing the wasted efforts go a long way farther than just pedal to the metal and stepping on the gas. In the ‘HEAT’ of the moment, the accident becomes the risk of losing oneself in total dismay as to the ‘WHY’ things are not working out.
That requires CRITICAL THINKING Questioning and Answers by observing and making connections through leaps of faith at even the smallest things around oneself.
The pay-off comes when you finally get it – and that requires time and patience.
