When asked about hiring Temporary Foreign Workers for jobs that are highly sought after, the CBC CEO said "I don't exactly see the issue that you have with this process, but maybe I'm not familiar enough" Amid rising unemployment in Canada, the CBC was caught hiring temporary foreign workers...

So here’s Patty Hajdu, Canada’s Jobs Minister, explaining why it’s totally fine that young Canadians can’t find work. She actually said this: “Temporary foreign workers are about 70% less than a few months ago. Low-wage TFWs are less than 1% of the workforce.” Sounds good, right? But then in the very next breath she admitted the program is still “critical” in areas with low unemployment, the kind of loophole that allows McDonald’s and Tim Hortons to keep importing cheap foreign labor while Canadian kids sit at home without jobs. And when she was pressed on that abuse, she didn’t deny it. She bragged that the process is “onerous.” Employers have to post on the Job Bank for four weeks, pay a fee, do an interview. Then Ottawa “tracks” the applications. In other words, she defended the bureaucracy, not Canadian workers. But the real kicker came when she was asked about youth unemployment. She admitted it’s spiking, but shrugged it off with a metaphor: “Many economists say youth are the canary in the coal mine.” The canary in the coal mine? Imagine being twenty years old, can’t find a job, rent’s through the roof, and your government calls you a canary. So let’s translate this. If you’re a Temporary Foreign Worker, life is good, Ottawa built an entire program to protect your job. If you’re a Liberal insider, life is even better, you get the contracts and the consultants’ fees. But if you’re a young Canadian? You’re the canary in the coal mine. That’s not a jobs plan. That’s contempt.

Tim Hortons loves to wrap itself in the Canadian flag, but why won't they hire Canadians?🍁 Rebel News visits a Tim Hortons location and the company's corporate headquarters in Toronto in an effort to get answers to why this supposedly proud Canadian company is hiring temporary foreign workers instead of Canadians. Canadian companies hiring temporary foreign workers is out of control. The summer job is merely a memory, part-time jobs for students are vanishing. And meanwhile, the unemployment rate is a shocking 7.1%. So why are so many companies — profitable companies with revenues in the billions of dollars — hiring temporary foreign workers? Well, it’s strictly business, baby. Companies can pay temporary foreign workers less money. And these people are far more “compliant” than “domestics” given the prospect of losing one’s job likely means a trip back home. Meanwhile, temporary foreign workers see this opportunity as a means to become permanent residents and eventually full-fledged citizens. It might be win-win for corporations and temporary foreign workers. But it is a losing proposition for taxpaying Canadian citizens who want to work. People are not amused. A recent Abacus Data poll indicates that 44% of Canadians want to see the temporary foreign worker program scrapped given the high unemployment rate — especially among young people. And even though Canada’s biggest foodservice company is Tim Hortons — a company that loves to wrap itself in the Canadian flag — Timmy’s (which is now owned by multinational corporation Restaurant Brands International) is actively seeking temporary foreign workers rather than Canadians. Every penny counts, it would seem. Shameful. We recently visited a Tim Hortons at the corner of Lawrence Avenue and Yonge Street in north Toronto. According to the federal government’s job bank, this franchise is taking advantage of the temporary foreign workers program. One ad posted in July of this year indicated it was seeking to hire someone at a rate of $36/hour. Apparently, this store could not find a Canadian willing to work for $36/hour and therefore needed a temporary foreign worker for the position. Does anyone believe that? If you do, then we have some beachfront property for sale in Saskatchewan… The manager at this store was very evasive when we asked questions. We left our contact information hoping to speak to the franchise owner, but at time of writing, never heard back. It also appeared that the lion’s share of the staff at this Tim Hortons restaurant was from the Philippines. Our next stop was the palatial head office of Tim Hortons in downtown Toronto. Even though this company has an entire media relations team, nobody would receive us. Cowards. Are you disgusted with major companies gaming the system is such a fashion? Then kindly sign our petition at Tim Hortons may be making money hand over fist (RBI’s revenue jumped 5.4% in 2024 compared to the previous year). But it clearly has a public relations problem given its strategy of shunning Canadians. After all, when a growing number of Canadians now refer to this chain as “Singh Hortons” rather than “Tim Hortons”, that’s a problem. Meanwhile, the NHL legend the chain is named for must be rolling in his grave…

93 Tim Hortons locations are still hiring foreign workers right now! Tim Hortons lied to you. A couple of days ago, every regime media outlet in the country ran the same cheerful story: Tim Hortons, long notorious for importing cheap foreign labour, was turning over a new leaf. They were going to hire 10,000 “locals.” What a turnaround. What a company. Pass the double-double! I didn't buy it. So I went to the government's own temporary foreign worker website and did a quick search. I was shocked to find 93 Tim Hortons locations are actively advertising for temporary foreign workers. Literally at the same time their spin doctors are claiming they’re hiring Canadians. So I printed out the job postings, fired up our billboard truck, and headed to one of the foreign-staffed Tim Hortons to ask for the manager. The Tim Hortons I went to was offering $36 an hour for a restaurant manager. Their government of Canada job listing claimed that no Canadian would do the job. The Tim Hortons executive in the store told me he'd “never seen” the foreign worker ads before. Really? They're on the government TFW website. Anyone can look them up. I showed it to him live, on camera. He should tell that to the father I met outside, whose 21-year-old son can't find work. I spent nearly an hour out front talking to passersby. Not one person — not a single one — said Tim Hortons should keep hiring foreign workers over Canadians. And many of the people I spoke with were immigrants themselves. It's only Tim Hortons that disagrees. (Tim Hortons, by the way, is not even a Canadian company anymore. It's owned by a Brazilian hedge fund called 3G Capital.) Tim Hortons is lying about quitting cheap foreign labour. So we're going to drive that truck to the other locations still hiring foreign workers. It’s bad enough that they’re hiring foreigners instead of locals. It’s worse that they’re lying about it! I've been doing this long enough to know that corporations only change behaviour when they feel it in the till. REPORT by Ezra Levant 🍁🚛:

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…

Controversial Whitby councillor bashes Canadians opposed to Temporary Foreign Worker Program So, who in blue hell is Victoria Bozinovski? For starters, she’s a councillor with the Town of Whitby. She’s also supposedly a conservative. We have a recent picture of her posing with Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. But Bozinovski recently made headlines by stating that if you are against the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, that makes you: “xenophobic… racist… garbage…” Wow. That’s harsh! Yet, her sentiments are also inexplicable given that by supporting the Temporary Foreign Worker Program Bozinovski is going against the official policy of the Conservative Party of Canada which states: “The Temporary Foreign Workers program would be permanently abolished with a separate, standalone program for legitimately difficult-to-fill agricultural labour.” So, if Bozinovski identifies as a conservative, why would she go against Conservative Party values? Is she (ugh!) a female version of Erin O’Toole, perhaps? We would love to interview Bozinovski to get her side of the story. We tried to do so last month after a Town of Whitby Council meeting. But she literally ran away from us – and even sic’d her security guard to illegally get handsy with us. What a coward. And given her recent flip out regarding the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, that classic line from Hamlet springs to mind: “The lady doth protest too much methinks.” So, we did a little digging regarding Victoria Bozinovski. And we think we now know the real reason why she is such an ardent defender of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Which is to say, Bozinovski is a broker with Toronto-based Titan York Realty Corporation in Toronto. And one of her specialties is hospitality. Hospitality would presumably include fast-food restaurants. You know, like Tim Hortons, which absolutely adores the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Talk about a eureka moment! You see, the Temporary Foreign Worker Program works very well indeed for Bozinovski’s clients and would-be clients. Which means that the Temporary Foreign Worker Program also works very well for Bozinovski’s own financial enrichment. How sad. It would appear that Victoria Bozinovski, is putting money ahead of the party she allegedly supports. She is presumably also putting the almighty dollar ahead of her own country. Shame. For that reason, we don’t think Victoria Bozinovski is fit for office. What kind of patriot throws homegrown Canadian citizens under the bus so that multibillion foreign nationals can hire cheap foreign workers? That’s disgraceful. Bottom line: the last thing our once great dominion needs is yet more self-serving phonies who are conservative in name only. REPORT by David Menzies:
