Temporary migrants come to Canada to work in industries Canadians Welfare Recipients are not willing to do – May 12, 2020,
Reality check, low wage-earning Canadians are given the option between working in industries like agriculture, food services, hospitality, and care-giving or taking a government welfare check and who can blame a vast majority of them for taking the Government welfare check which pays just as much if not more than the low wage jobs and also allows these Canadians often to live in major cities, which is a privilege, not a right!
In the article titled: “The coronavirus reveals the necessity of Canada’s migrant workers” the writers make the case that:
Temporary migrants come to Canada to work in industries such as agriculture, food services, hospitality and care-giving, in jobs that are often characterized by low wages and difficult working conditions. They are jobs that Canadians are not willing to do.

That’s only part of the truth, the reality is that the flaw of democracy is exposed as to why there are jobs that Canadians are not willing to do. It’s called WELFARE, Canadians can vote for WELFARE, not only can Canadians vote for Welfare, but as long as equalization payments exist, people who work hard for a living will have to pay for the public sectors of the people who don’t as hard.
Why do those labor-intensive low paying jobs when welfare and the benefits of welfare equal or exceed the money I’d make working in industries such as agriculture, food services, hospitality, and care-giving?
I think it’s a legit argument that we entitled Canadians have in our minds, why should I work a low wage job if the government will take care of me? I personally think that’s a legitimate argument entitled low wage earners in Canada have in their heads. Why work hard if this politician says I don’t have to?
I used to work with the homeless and oddly enough, this might surprise people, a lot of the homeless population at that time didn’t want to be on welfare, they wanted to work, it’s just in many instances they were barred usually via regulations from pursuing their dream jobs, which by the way weren’t always being in a rock band or something glorious.
Many of the homeless I met wanted to work with children, wanted to be mechanics, wanted to be plumbers, etc. however Government regulations or bad luck prevented them from doing these jobs and eventually the challenge of the barrier to entry got to many of these homeless people and they found themselves on the streets.
In a capitalist society, there’s an abundance of jobs and an abundance of ways to get ahead, unlike the socialist society that Canada has now where not only are people and big businesses are rewarded for being inefficient and unproductive, they’re also rewarded for thinking like an entitled person or entity.
What do you mean “jobs that are often characterized by low wages and difficult working conditions? They are jobs that Canadians are not willing to do.” if you’re on welfare, why aren’t you willing to do those jobs? That should be the question asked but they skip over that part and focus on the migrant workers, who they’d like to make citizens and then voters who will vote for more socialism.
This entitlement mentality in Canada as I’ve stated over and over again began with the Union culture we have in Canada, in which many of the Union bosses are very influential in writing job-killing legislation. This has all been blended into Canadian culture now and there comes a period of time when it starts to deteriorate.
I think Canada is headed down the path of destruction of our economy and what worries me is that unlike America and other countries like Germany and Switzerland where at the very least people comprehend the limitations of government, in Canada, I don’ think most Canadians comprehend a market economy and therefore similar to Argentina, if a crisis hits, the assumption will be that the Government can easily solve this problem, which will lead to voters, voting for what Socrates calls the Sweet Shop salesmen.
I’m a little bit scared for my country, but truth be told, if I were you and you comprehend my argument, I think you should be making sure your house is in order in the best possible way it can be, because this is novel territory Canada is in and I nor anyone else can predict what’s going to happen as the world becomes less productive during COVID-19.
Less productivity equates to the unexpected happening, things you’d never imagine, things you take for granted breaking down and there’s nothing money or printing money can do about it!
Hope for the best, but consider preparing or being prepared for the worst!
