^^Its a reality! Get used to it. Canadian workers are in competition with global resourcing centers all over the world. Make no mistake about it, these are not sweatshop jobs, they are skilled labor(with multiple degrees in some cases) and very keen. Canadian kids growing up today will have it tough.

To be clear, the Canadian government is completely passive on this file, and we may have no choice because Canada has always been a trading nation. Essentially job related protectionism is something where there is consensus in the US between the left and the right, it will not change.
