From what I understand, a significant amount of the evening 'work' hours involve mandatory boozing with colleagues. That probably takes the edge off.

I don't know, have you ever worked with the Japanese? We were doing a project with them and they just destroy you. Everything as per the schedule, complete with all the documentation in the world to make you look bad, endless questions of the mundane issues that don't matter that require formal response just in case.

They will out perform you.

That doesn't sound like outperforming that sounds like wasting time and being extremely inefficient.

Actually, he's not wrong. Historically, new immigrants to Canada gravitate to the Liberal party. Source, I remember this from a Canadian Political Behavior class I took and this article shows it from the last election:

This was one of Harper's main strategies in the lead up to his first win. They looked at the Liberal's grabbing immigrant votes and felt like most immigrants were actually more conservative (socially and fiscally) but that immigrants identified with the party and leader that were in power when they were brought in.

How so? You dont think that youth/young adults & and immigrants wont be competing for the same low/entry level jobs in the workforce? Especially with all the heavy job losses across the country recently? Im all ears here.

And troll? I have a different opinion than you do, so you start name calling.... I bet you are a far lefty, arent you?

But they have the time because they work 16hrs per day and you don't.

No,

We don't have enough people to be sustainable long term. The notion of competing for jobs is a dog whistle. The immigration issue should only be looked at as a solution to a demographic problem. The specifics of the economy when well structured takes care of itself.
