They have tried to solve this problem by bringing in more foreign workers and lowering wages for domestic workers, making life (and housing) unaffordable for everyone. They need to solve this situation by respecting union workers and encouraging Canadians to get into the trades, instead of importing cheap labour.
“Otherwise, their circle will not only be malicious, but domestic. [Canadian] “Tradespeople and foreign workers alike are finding that under this administration the Canadian dream is increasingly nothing more than an illusion,” she wrote.
