Dominion Society of Canada - Just not good enough

In this episode, we discuss the election of the new Bank of Canada Governor, Mark Carney, and his potential impact on immigration in Canada. We also talk about the impact temporary foreign workers are having on Canadian society, and whether or not they should be allowed to stay here.

00:00:00.000 But also, I don't want to stay too focused on on Pierre Paglia, because, like, frankly, I think that the liberals, the conservatives, both of them are equally as likely at this point to kind of embrace ideas to restrict immigration.

00:00:12.940 Embrace remigration. Embrace it. 1.00

00:00:15.960 Yeah, I mean, preferably to embrace remigration. I'm not I'm not that bullish on Mark Carney, not just yet. 1.00

00:00:21.860 but we have seen him tone things down throughout the year could be taking the steps especially in

00:00:28.020 line with these more economic arguments we know this guy's a banker him and poliev are both kind

00:00:32.740 of you know economics nerds so i could see i give them equal odds at taking policies more in line

00:00:38.420 with our thinking as they try and maintain or get a hold of power it's our job though to keep pushing

00:00:43.700 the envelope it's not enough to just reduce the numbers at this point especially after a decade

00:00:47.780 of justin trudeau's absolutely insane radical policies it's not enough to reduce the numbers

00:00:52.500 we actually must reverse the flow and it's not just temporary migrants like there are a huge 1.00

00:00:57.780 amount of people that are kind of on a pathway to citizenship this can still be easily annulled

00:01:02.500 permanent residency can be more easily legally revoked than say citizenship and we need more

00:01:07.700 drastic changes like it's things like the temporary foreign workers program like it's not enough to

00:01:12.020 just reduce the numbers like this this program has no place in canadian society it's a completely

00:01:16.340 anti-worker program it depresses wages it started out as like it was introduced in the 1970s as like

00:01:22.340 an agriculture specific program it was for like it was literally for like the stereotype of

00:01:26.920 strawberry pickers which people will throw in your face when you when you criticize temporary

00:01:31.280 foreign work it was people that would come here for like a few months and work seasonal jobs that

00:01:35.820 didn't exist year-round and then leave and now we've seen an international mobility program added

00:01:40.300 to it we've seen massive expansions in the temporary foreign workers program so people

00:01:43.920 are working at fast food places and stuff like this like this is obviously not a place for for

00:01:49.040 such a program to be taking jobs from canadian citizens as they start talking about it you know

00:01:53.600 it's it's good to you know you can give them a bit of a pat in the back but it's just not good enough
