Except there is no labor shortage in the farming industry, and certainly no labor shortage in the fish gutting industry.
There is a labor shortage in the energy industry though, and the fact is that Canada has unemployment of 7.3%, which by all accounts is a bit high, and a labor shortage at the same time.
So obviously your point about not offering enough doesn't really apply. Obviously people won't work for pennies, which is understandable, but there is an apparent problem with the modern day Canadian or even American not willing to do dirty, physical work anymore. There is a reason the US couldn't function without the illegals, and there is a reason Canada is increasingly looking towards immigration to fill job positions.
As for the oil business not being a paradise, nobody ever said that. But it is better than EI.
