Describe slavery here in Canada?
I’ve worked with over 100 hispanics in road work construction and residential concrete and landscape for the city. None of them had papers or were legal citizens. Some were on temporary visas, and that’s about it. The ones on visas 99% of the time wanted to work extended hours after 8-10 hours and would rather work 13-14hours + without complaints.
To paint the picture, 2/3rds of the ones on visas either tried to flee to the states or tried to find shelter in hispanics communities here in Canada and would forever work for cash work rather than return home.
It’s funny that people think the employers are the ones to blame for this so called “slavery work”, but it’s actually the opposite. The same Hispanics are the ones finding these people and giving them work, while also charging them 500-700 in rent monthly and shoving them tightly in one home, usually 7-10 per house.
The same applies here with East Indians, they franchise your Tim hortons, mucho burritos, basically any food franchise you can name, they find students on temporary visas and employ them rather than the youthful Canadian for half the cost.
Also, this has been happening for a long long time, you just didn’t hear about it because now Canadians are complaining that they can’t find work.
It’s not a slavery problem it’s an immigrant problem. The faster you realize that the better you’ll be off.
I think what their refering to is the international students coming in through study visas, they pull out loans from their home country to send them off here, they run out of funds and get stuck having to work here to pay off the loan. Tack on the cost of living it does look like slavery. Now not every immigrant goes through that route. Those hispanics you work with are the smart ones. They dont incure debt and go straight to work.
