Conservatives called for an end to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program because youth unemployment is skyrocketing and wage growth is stagnating. The Prime Minister confirmed today that these issues are simply not a priority for him. Watch as Carney fails to commit to Canadian jobs for Canadian workers:

Pierre Poilievre said the quiet part out loud: businesses in Canada don’t need Temporary Foreign Workers—they just want them, because they’ll work for less. That’s it. No mystery. No labor shortage. Just greed. And the Liberals, under Mark Carney, are happy to oblige. So here’s the story. Booster Juice—advertises a job paying $36 an hour. Not bad for blending fruit. And who do they say it’s for? A Temporary Foreign Worker. Not a Canadian kid trying to pay tuition. Not a young person stuck at home because rent is unaffordable. Nope. A foreign worker. Are we really supposed to believe no Canadian teenager would pour frozen strawberries into a blender for thirty-six bucks an hour? Please. That’s more than most trades apprentices make. But under Mark Carney’s Liberals, Canadian youth don’t even get the chance. They’re cut out by design. And that’s the point. This isn’t about “labor shortages.” That’s the line the media repeats while nodding obediently. The truth is simpler: corporations don’t want to pay Canadians a fair wage, so the Liberals hand them a pipeline of cheap, desperate labor from abroad. It’s exploitation dressed up as policy. And the Liberal elites love it. Carney, Trudeau’s banker-turned-prime-minister, promised to be different. He’s worse. In just six months, he’s blown past his own cap on TFW permits—105,000 already issued. Keep that up, and Canada will import over 200,000 low-wage workers this year. Meanwhile, youth unemployment is 14.6%—the highest since the late 1990s. If you were trying to design a system to crush Canadian kids, you couldn’t do better. But don’t worry. Carney will tell you this is all very sophisticated. Globalization. Free markets. Necessary labor mobility. The kind of word salad elites recite while your rent doubles and your job disappears. The reality? It’s a scam. A scam for corporations, by corporations, with Liberals in Ottawa playing concierge. Poilievre called it what it is: scrap the program. Canadian jobs for Canadian workers. Period. Because if a Booster Juice gig at $36 an hour is “unfit” for a Canadian student, then nothing is. And the fact they said it out loud tells you everything about the contempt these people have for their own citizens. They don’t even bother to hide it anymore.

Canadian Tire facing backlash for not hiring Canadians Why is Canadian Tire NOT hiring Canadians? Not only that, but some stores are also violating the rules of the Temporary Foreign Worker program! Say it ain’t so…! When it comes to retailers, it doesn’t get any more Canadian than Canadian Tire. “Canadian” is in the company’s name, after all… And yet, it turns out the Toronto-based corporation is now hiring foreigners to work at its stores as opposed to Canadian citizens. Not only that, but one west-end Toronto franchisee was actually caught red-handed violating the rules of the Temporary Foreign Worker program! Rebel News reporter Alex Dhaliwal recently chronicled the odd case of Canadian Tire owner, Ezhil Natarajan. He was recently fined more than $100,000 by the federal government for violating the Temporary Foreign Worker program rules. Natarajan is also under provincial investigation for alleged exploitation of foreign workers. Here's the skinny: Employment and Social Development Canada found Natarajan violated the TFW program rules by not matching pay or working conditions to job offers as well as assigning workers to different roles than hired. Last year, 13 foreign workers at the Canadian Tire store located at 175 Vetiver Dr. resigned or were fired by Natarajan, alleging wage reductions and unhired job assignments. Federal data indicates that Natarajan’s store was approved to hire 34 Temporary Foreign Workers from 2022-2024. But why? Especially given the high national youth unemployment rate in Canada. It should also be noted that the overall unemployment rate in Canada is currently a jaw-dropping 7.1%. Yet it has become fashionable for certain corporations (we’re looking at you, “Singh Hortons”) to hire noncitizens. Indeed, temporary foreign workers now comprise about 1% of the entire national workforce! Sorry, but this does not compute. If Canadian citizens can’t find jobs, why is Ottawa importing noncitizens to work here? And it should also be noted that many foreign workers did not have a great experience working for Natarajan. Rowell Pailan, a former employee of Natarajan, says his wages were cut from $20 an hour to $16.55 per hour after he was demoted from supervisor to shelf stocker. Isn’t that called “bait and switch” in the retail world? Rebel News thought it would be prudent to get Natarajan’s side of the story. We also wanted to find out what Canadian Tire’s corporate had to say. As per usual, emails to Canadian Tire’s media relations department went unacknowledged. We also reached out to Natarajan’s store by phone and left a detailed message. Our call went unreturned. So it was that the other day that we decided to pay a house call to the store. Alas, we were about as welcome as skunks to a garden party. Several staffers demanded we vacate the premises, and we did. But the irony is perverse, isn’t it? Canadian Tire wraps itself in the Canadian flag. Its slogan is “Canada’s Store.” And this is no sad-sack corporation. Canadian Tire’s revenue for 2024 was more than $16 billion. Such a shame that “Canada’s Store”, based in Canada, is more than happy to sell merchandise to Canadians. But it doesn’t seem to be all that enthused about hiring Canadians… There oughta be a law…
