Is this the Liberals deciding, a bit late in the day, that the best way to take on the Conservatives is to imitate them?
Libs have been centrist and pro-business for sometime now. While other liberal governments had balanced policies between pro-business and social responsibilities, this liberal government seems to have exuberantly responded to business wants when it comes to labour needs. This is the mess we have here.
The Liberals have been unambiguously pro-business since Cretien. It's just which businesses have been the focus of their support that's changed somewhat over time. Neoliberalism has been at the heart of the party since the Red Book.
The current administration has been throwing all of its support behind big city "businesses businessing businessly" businesses. Think of Bill Morneau and his family enterprises, or anything B2B where it seems like something the client company could just do on their own, but they gain a lot of connections by working with the other business.
You know. Rich people bullshit.
Are you joking? Conservatives love TFWs; I guarantee the owners of places that employ most TFWs are right wing. They get to take advantage of them for however long, paying them shit wages and refusing to respect their labour rights.
Clamping down on TFWs is good for Canadians, both immigrants and those born here.
