100% agreed. If you work in Canada you should be paid and treated the same as any Canadian

Ignorant people will blame the TFWs for low wages and the housing problems we’re facing, but I won’t fault a person for coming here to create a better life for them and their families.

The fault lies with the government allowing them to be treated as second class citizens, which saves the megacorps money.
