Our politicians are so gullible to believe businesses needed TFWs to fill jobs. They have to understand that it’s always only about increasing profits. Not only should they not have brought in TFWs, but minimum wage needs to be raised to be a livable wage. If a business isn’t making enough to pay every employee a livable wage, then their business model is a failure and they don’t deserve to be in business. Not only Tim Hortons, but Walmart and Amazon are forcing governments to subsidize their low employee wages by having employees need food banks and other social services just to survive. It’s criminal.

And companies should be required to hire the majority of positions as full time, rather than having a bunch of part timers so they can avoid paying basic employee benefits.
Nobody can afford to live on part time wages, especially if the employer forces them into random swing shifts so the workers can’t even have a second part time job to try and get a livable income.
