00:00:00.000 You won't believe this. So over the last 18 months, Tim Hortons has lobbied federal MPs and
00:00:04.540 officials to expand the temporary foreign worker program, pushing for looser caps and easier
00:00:09.880 renewals so franchises can rely more on temporary foreign labor. This is documented in lobbying
00:00:16.020 records. So why are they doing this? Well, they claim it's due to labor shortages, but in reality,
00:00:21.120 it is a major corporation asking government to bend rules to make them richer. Think about it
00:00:26.260 very logically. Temporary foreign workers are tied to their employers. They have less ability to leave 0.97
00:00:31.800 and limited bargaining power. Companies love that setup. If you were a company, you'd be stupid not
00:00:36.640 to because it keeps wages lower and it ensures your workers won't walk out on you. And it's not 0.98
00:00:41.980 just importance, it's happening everywhere across the food service industry and the retail industry.
00:00:47.020 That's the policy choice Ottawa has made. Now, not only is this economically harming us, but it is
00:00:51.440 culturally harming us. Because, plot twist, the vast majority of these foreign workers are 1.00
00:00:55.820 incompatible third-worlders. When you bring them into functioning, developed Western countries, 1.00
00:01:00.320 you are literally begging for disaster. This is why Canadians increasingly hate importance
00:01:05.980 and call for boycotts. Service is garbage, food is disgusting, locations are dirty, 0.99
00:01:11.640 and communication barriers are constant. They don't even bother to learn our language. 0.98
00:01:16.480 You can't understand them, and they can't understand you.
00:01:19.800 So what happens?
00:01:20.700 Orders get messed up routinely.
00:01:22.860 In what world is that even semi-acceptable?
00:01:25.920 That's why people say, I wish Tim Hortons could go back to the way it was.
00:01:29.820 I miss the old Tim Hortons.
00:01:31.340 I say that.
00:01:32.360 And of course, you got these leftists who respond by saying, you just don't like brown 0.88
00:01:36.940 people. 0.98
00:01:37.580 This is anti-brown dog whistling. 1.00
00:01:39.780 My boyfriend has PTSD from you, racist. 1.00
00:01:42.740 Okay, shut up. 1.00
00:01:43.820 Here is the reality. 0.98
00:01:44.800 Tim Hortons has declined because of these imported workers from incompatible cultures 1.00
00:01:50.940 who just happen to be brown. Like, if you order an ice cap and these incompetent morons hand you 1.00
00:01:57.160 a donut, they should be handed a deportation letter. And I got news for you. If these immigrants 1.00
00:02:02.740 were white, spoke perfect English, and were fully assimilating, we would still have a massive
00:02:08.760 problem from the sheer numbers overwhelming the country. Public services are stretched in,
00:02:13.920 hospitals overflowing classrooms over capacity emergency services unreliable housing limited
00:02:20.000 cost of living is skyrocketing but the situation is far worse because they don't align culturally 1.00
00:02:25.980 and with so many arriving at once assimilation is impossible and the result is replacement look at
00:02:32.640 branton look at surrey they've been taken over and they will not stop there they will keep going
00:02:38.240 until the entire country is theirs. 0.96
00:02:40.660 Canada will become India 2.0 0.98
00:02:42.460 if we don't do something,
00:02:44.040 if we don't take action.
00:02:45.980 We must stop corporations
00:02:47.360 from lobbying the government
00:02:48.500 to erase our identity for profit.
00:02:50.740 It is time we push back.
00:02:52.800 Do like I do.
00:02:53.820 Boycott as many fast food restaurants
00:02:55.520 as you possibly and humanly can.
00:02:57.600 And remigration is inevitable. 0.99
