Watch

They will bring foreign labour to exploit and abuse while inflating the profits of the one percent and weakening further our middle class. Then when it is politically expedient, the foreign labour will be transmuted by a lapdog media into vagabond interlopers, to be ghettoized, scapegoated and expelled. Really, if you are already on top of our dung hill it's all win-win. Provided you are ALREADY on top. Such a pity so many of our home grown temporarily embarrassed millionaires believe that to be their case.

Another discredited harperite speaks.

So this is an exercise in damage control. A controversy rises and you pretend that you were on top of it all along. Even making Finley look a fool is no problem. Jason Kenney has shown himself to be just another lying puppet of Harper's so what is new. They won't rescind the permit, it was what they wanted all along, the public be damned.

Oh

So it was just a bunch of trickery, was it?

Jason please BS, Balderdash, Twaddle, theses are the first printable words that come to mind

We need to organize a United Front Against Austerity and carry

out a General Strike. All the oppressed from those downtown B.C to Nfld...Unions non union employed unemployed disabled a General Strike is the only way to stop the austerity bus and the devastation to our environment.

CYA At It's Finest

A ten year old child could read both Ministers statements and conclude somebody is not telling the truth.It is really quite sad how this behavior is tolerated,or at least not paid attention to.Shame on us all,time to wake up and start screaming foul at the top of your lungs!Teach your children to pay attention to their world and to question those in power.

are you kidding me?

Kenney confirms a couple of important points here. When he says "the conservative government has been reviewing this program for months" he's admitting not only is he useless, he's a moron. Or if you prefer, a useless moron!
Time for the BC Fed and the Unions in this province to grow back the stones they seem to have lost in the last 25 years and start playing hardball with these neocon scumbags. Start by issuing a "hot" edict on this site (and any other like it) and cut them off.

Chinese Mining Workers

In Africa, we have countries where labour is imported from neighboring states where people are starving and will work for less. In Indonesia, gold miners at the richest mine in the world are paid less than $5 per hour. In Canada, people won't work for $18 an hour because you cannot live on it .... but you can always find starving people somewhere else who will.

This is blatant, and it is terrible policy for Canada. It was done with the approval of the government -- period. Everything else we are being told is just damage control and it is only happening because the media got into the story and would not let it go.

Thank God we have at least some media that are not controlled by the same people who would bring the miners in, treat them badly, and leave them behind as an expense for Canada to deal with.

Look at the meat packing plant in southern Alberta as another example of exactly the same policy and practice.

Come on Canada ... WAKE UP.

Your country is being eroded and sold out from underneath you. Every day, a bit more.

In Canada and in many Western

In Canada and in many Western countries. the presently ruling neoclassical theory, combined with deregulated money creation by private banks, and "foreign investment", has inflated living costs by over 1,000%, housing by several thousand percent, impoverishing and destituting people, while their imaginary GDP figures are "growing".

Now, the same "conservative" and capitalist governments who permitted and legalized this crime wave by inflation, against their citizens, claim that the workers "priced themselves out of jobs".

This fraudulent claim gives them licence to sell the country from under citizens' feet and move industries abroad to slave labour economies.

As far the "Harper government" is concerned, beginning with the chairman, they look, act and talk like escapees from some institution. So, what can anybody expect from them at their IQ level of 10?

What happens at the end of their work term?

I can imagine a number of the workers would apply for refugee status just to avoid going back to overcrowded China. Then, of course, the taxpayers of BC would be responsible for them. Meanwhile, they might even be able to get relatives to come over and join them. Are the workers bilingual when they come to Canada? Are we creating a ghetto of Chinese workers in Tumbler Ridge? I heard we had enough trouble with the Newfie preponderance taking over local parks there. :)

When you see line ups at the

When you see line ups at the food bank in that region. When you see people stuggling to pay their bills. When you see homeless people with no work. Then you see that this company has brought in temp workers with the approval of the government you have a reason to revolt. Shame on you Harper and your trained seals. Harper listen to this, temp workers dont VOTE, we do..... moron.
