If there isn't the same amount of negative reaction to this hiring plan as there was to the Hd Mining plan to bring in Chinese miners , then I think some hard questions need to be asked about the extent of xenophobia that exists in BC

I think the BC government should place an onus on all companies working in BC to prove that they have tried their best to hire BC workers and Canadian workers before they go outside of Canada

If an American based company wants to hire a Canadian ,they have to explain exactly why they have to hire someone from outside the US and why they weren't able to find an equivalent person inside the USA

You never get to the point on anything!
Taxpayers know that business pays them a pay cheque and not the unions.

taxed to death: Does nothing sink into your brain? I do not lead a double standard of life style like you!

Since the Falconator led a taxpayer funded entourage to London to "inspect' fare gates in the Underground, fare gates that we have now heard loud and clear won't stem fare evasion, it's only fitting that the overpaid Meter Maids of policing would hire British Transport Police to help deal with this latest Translink boondoggle. Seeing that our gas prices are now at $1.36 a litre is there any wonder why I'm off to Bellingham to fuel up at $3.25 a GALLON!!!! When will these calamities ever end?????? When will our politicians show some leadership???? Oh, I guess when we get them away from the trough!!!!!! Sad, really sad.

taxed to death: Maybe you better think twice of who should change their ways?

taxed to death: Or are we now a little upset?

F A N T A S T I C! That is what I want to see!

BY_7463: Your unions. An example of what happened in Manitoba.
Unions supplied election workers for 13 NDP candidates.

The NDP campaign office paid the respective union the regular daily salary each worker would normally earn. The unions then kicked back the exact same amount as a "donation" so that the actual cost to the NDP campaign was zero.

The campaign agents for each candidate listed the workers as unpaid help-donations-in-kind-which are eligible for a legislated 50 percent susidy from the province. But the paperwork was first sent to a central auditor. There, the official election expense statements of the 13 campaigns were altered so that the union workers were listed as paid help.

The altered documents were returned to the official agents who, seeing no changes to the bottom lines, signed them and sent them in to Elections Manitoba. The trick was that now the NDP would be reimbursed from the public purse for half the "expense" of the union help.

The NDP were caught and their answer was that they made an accounting error.

Just a little too much corruption!

One really wonders that when the NDP destroys a province, people like you will not admit that you voted for them.
