There has not been 1 inspection.

Yeah, read that headline earlier, but passed on commenting since it said they're scheduled to begin in the fall. New rules just passed now say 1:4 must be inspected...here's hoping they stick to it.

What exactly were the 40 or so inspectors they already had on board doing then? This is just putting lipstick on a pig. They should have started from scratch.

Inspecting accoring to the old ratio of 0:4, I suppose.

Could sure cut down on the 'need' for TFW if welfare & EI were much harder to get.

Improved.

I don't know about other provinces, but "welfare" as a continuing benefit doesn't exist in Ontario. A person must be on disability or otherwise may be able to receive a temporary stipend while in "Ontario Works" which is job training/placement program, which has a maximum duration.

Min wage is 'justification for higher education'! Paid training is available to everyone. I worked 2 min jobs. Raised family & went to college at the same time. It was a real grind! I made the choices that got me into that situation and I made the choices that got me out of it!

Same with BC, you can collect welfare 2 out of 5 years, and a single employable person gets the munificent amount of $625/mo. You also have to show you're looking for work and accept any job offered. Doubt too many people opt for welfare over even min wage job. EI, is what now, 50%? 50% of a min wage job isn't much more than welfare. Plus how long can you stay on EI, and don't you have to prove you have looked for work? Doubt Yogis solution is the key here. The people who are on welfare are the damaged ones - nobody would hire them because they just don't have what it takes to do any job.

Exactly why if welfare was applied as per my 'solution is the solution'.

[andyt]

Fuck all of a solution. There just isn't some huge hidden potential workforce living it up on welfare that would be ready and able to work if only they reduced the pittance that welfare is now.

As for EI, yep, on the East coast, there's people living on pogey a good part of the year. Thing is, they have seasonal jobs. If you make them all move to Alberta (as many already have) who's going to do those seasonal jobs? I do agree with the recent changes tho that make EI collectors take jobs that earn less than they were earning on the jobs they were laid off from. If your job is seasonal there's no reason you should be able to live on EI part of the year, you should have to take those fast food jobs if they are available. But, people are laid off in the down season, probably exactly when the fast food industry also needs less people. I have no problem bringing in TFW's for seasonal work, as long as they go home when the season is over, and the jobs are offered first to Canadians. Like agricultural workers, say.
