Is it fair to McDonald's or any company really that they have to put up with employees who can't work until a certain time or refuse to work weekends, long weekends....some employees think they're too good for their job and that is where most of the problems arise from. Nobody wants to go above and beyond at their low paying job. Good Canadian workers willing to work for minimum wage are scarce.
It sucks that some Canadians are paying the price but truth is foreign workers are MUCH more loyal than Canadian workers. Don't whine as much as us or complain about working certain days. I think we still need Foreign workers. Maybe scale back the amount a certain company or restaurant can use but getting rid of it altogether is not a good idea IMO.

Yeah, the problem isn't the program as much as it is abuse of the program, which I am getting the picture is starting to be a bigger issue in some places. It's too easy for some employers to get around labour laws when they are dealing with workers that either don't know the laws or are too happy to ignore them as well.
I'd be a big hypocrite if I said no more foreign in Canada as I am the child of a someone who came here as a foreign worker and refugee. I sure wouldn't want to have to do the grind that he did though.
