My favourite TFW scam was the admission of close to 900 women as exotic dancers years ago. Apparently Canadian women don't like to work in strip clubs where about 70% are pressed into prostitution. I guess Canadian women were too lazy and unenlightened for the Canadian government who felt the the upstanding business model of human trafficing/sex trade industry deserved support.

Carnage is always saying businesses/people are asking for this.... WHO? I don't know anybody who's asking for this. Who's he talking to? Probably talking to himself.

The Conservatives have been drawing attention to the Temporary Foreign Workers program ( which is good) but I recently found out about Canada's International Mobility Program which seems even more concerning because it does not require employers to complete a Labour Market Impact Assessment because it supports "economic, social and cultural objectives". I read that Canada has brought in about 302,280 in the first half of 2025. I'd like to hear more about this.

The whole of the “System” and most “Systems” in general are Exploitively Evil!!!

Tim Horton’s is also no longer Canadian as it was taken over by Warren Buffett!!! It deserves to go down. Warren Buffett is not an upright business owner. Take a look at Wells Fargo; another of his companies.

Bravo, Dr. Michael Bonner! There was a Serbian restaurant in Nepean where my family ate about once a week. One of their waitresses was in Canada under the TFW program. She was a lovely, charming girl who spoke OK English. Much of the clientele, including my wife and son, were Serbian speakers, so they liked her because she was Montenegrin and spoke their language. When she was not waitressing she was useful in the kitchen because she knew from her upbringing how to make special Balkan dishes. Her TFW permit was not extended and she went back to Montenegro. I would be interested in knowing how Dr. Bonner would think about whether what was left of the TFW program would treat someone like her. I suspect he would favour excluding her from it, but it is not so clearcut as bringing in someone from a Third World country to work at Tim Horton’s.
