Oil and Gas are more profitable than they've ever been and are paying historically low royalty rates.
If they can't afford to pay people, they are doing something wrong.
How did all these companies exist before Temporary Foreign Workers?
I mean, during the labour shortage in Alberta referred to earlier, when fast food places were closed because they couldn't find enough staff, isn't that a good thing? Low unemployment, high wages, satisfying positions? Lots of potential starting positions for part-time or youth workers? Competitive wages to entice attractive employees for the restaurants that remained in business?
