You can hardly refer to the perpetrators as victims of their criminal partnerships. At best they’re coconspirators.

I didn't want to pry but I'd love to know how they do their banking. Canada isn't going to set up a Trumpist ICE mob, instead people whose visas expire lose their SIN numbers, and with it their ability to bank and obtain credit.

There has to be a way outside of ICE. For starters, I’d prevent any new entrants unless we have two verified exits. As for banking, they’re being paid cash or via the likes of WeChat and Telegram. Which gives the RCMP and CRA the opportunity to go after their fast food, factory, retail and warehouse/logistics employers under the Al Capone tax invasion approach.

Why the heck did Trudeau look at Canada in 2015 and think, we need this flood of unskilled temporary and pseudo-student labour? Instead, during the pandemic labour shortage employers could have been forced to improve incentives (doesn’t have to be wages) to the existing labour force and also to invest in innovation to reduce labour inputs while increasing investment spending in the economy.

For people who didn't pay to game the PR system, I still feel bad.

I spoke with someone working a patient support role who was an RN back in India. This was at a retirement home in 2021. They were very well spoken. This is back when conscientious people were double and triple masking.

They told me they weren't getting paid overtime and showed me their digital paystub. I suggested they threaten to file a complaint with the Ministry of Labour. I still wonder if that ended up being more trouble than it was worth.
