What happened to our once great province and why is BC always in race to the bottom in terms of wages.... Well... the population has doubled in the last 25 years or so. That’s a lot more competition for jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckingainteasy Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Any updates on this topic? Still going on during covid? I've heard of a few trucking companies in Surrey/Abbotsford who are making $100-$150k annually cash from LMIA scams as of 2019. (Many of which are mentioned in the OP with safety violations, along with others...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violator Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Generally the government doesn't care about the bottom feeders a few dead bodies along the way meant cheaper goods for consumers.when BC does nothing but import goods they have to allow stuff like this to happen.

It's a shame that this is happening as some of the people that are applying for these jobs are being absolutely destroyed in terms of working slave hours and putting up every penny their family has in order to work and some don't even get paid. A few West Abbotsford based companies (Mt Lehman, Fraser Highway area) are still at it in full force getting LMIA's from immigration consultants and exploiting poor working immigrants not to mention committing massive tax fraud. Wish the CBSA and CRA would do something about it but they need to be exposed also as they just turn a blind eye.

Yeah, but we have a "birth crisis", heaven forbid rich companies would actually have to compete for workers for once and incentivize people to apply for jobs by offering a decent living... no... we have a birth crisis. Guess this so called climate problem won't have a problem with another 7 billion people. Edited November 18, 2020 by canuckster19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 We have a "birth crisis" because the average home in this country is over 600,000$. It's hard to have children when you can't afford your own place and have to live with mom and dad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have plenty of room in Canada you could add one million people to places like Edmonton Calgary Regina Winnipeg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckingainteasy Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Absolute shame that this is being tolerated allowing the exploitation of poor working immigrants in hopes of providing a better future for their families and children and in return they get slaved working for what in most cases comes out to nearly half of minimum wage, and when they complain they're let go without getting all or even any of the pay they worked hard for over the months. I know of many cases where these immigrants took on massive debt for the job and then at the end couldn't even buy bread to feed their children. Trucking companies need to be put on notice for this.

KelownaCanucksFan Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I’m not shocked by this at all, I used to work for a lumber reload facility in the early 2000’s and we would deal will immigrant truckers all the time, one of them over drinks spilled the beans on everything; they take a course back home on how to take advantage of our systems here (including welfare), when they got here were told where to go for a license(no training) and were taught how to evade scale stops and fudge log books. It’s a shame that people have taken our good nature as Canadians and abused it, but can’t say that nowadays without pitchforks coming out, I’m all for immigration but only if they are going to adhere and assimilate to our Canadian values, sadly that hasn’t happened and our country is worse off for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
