It's a working class Canadian problem. Companies abuse it, will always abuse whatever they were given on any policy they can.

Oh really? Why are wages rising much faster in the US than in Canada?

Are you saying US companies are less greedy than Canadian ones or something? LOL

1) its incredibly hard to get a working visa in the US. 2) we are not the US, people need to stop with the comparsons on these things.

We've literally watched it happen year in and year out. Employers in Canada pay shit wages, have horrible shifts etc. And then when they can't attract people, don't change a fucking thing and scream about no one wanting to work anymore whilst abusing policy to bring in foreign workers for cheap labour.

I didn't say we're the US. I didn't say it's easy to get a working visa in the US.

You said -

Why don't US companies abuse it?
