yep, lots of Canadians around to take those jobs. And they will stay here and spend the money they earn in the Canadian economy.

So why is there a shortage then??

Cuz the newfies are getting EI while they take seasonal Jobs!

Fair enough.
So what would you rather have:
- someone you pay a full wage to that is going to go back on UI after 6 months of work or,
- someone you can pay half the wage to, that you can send home when work is completed?
Language won't factor in either, as neither speak Enlish anyways, b'y [/b][/quote]
For a Business Owner I would opt for the cheap labour of course.
But speaking as someone who is not a Business owner and I want the country to get the most benifit out of the oil sands project I would much rather employ people who are going to spend the money here.
I would prefer not to outsource too much... i have a hard time feeling sorry for businesses who have to pay a couple extra dollars an hour to local people so they only have a 299 million dollar profit margin rather than a 300 million dollar profit margin.
Now citizens of another country who plan to immigrate here or start a new life here I would not have a problem giving the jobs to.
