In recent years, Canada has seen an explosion of low-skilled temporary foreign workers. Though outsourcing is not new, the practice is under renewed scrutiny—especially given the recent alleged in-sourcing of workers at RBC and the HD Mining case in British Columbia. On this morning’s episode of CBC Radio’s The Current, CCPA Senior Economist Armine Yalnizyan does a great job of contextualizing the outsourcing problem in Canada and its troubling consequences, including a disappearing middle class.
Listen to Armine, here.
The CCPA Monitor is the only place I know that one can go to for accurate and honest reporting on the state of the world. I would hate like hell to ever be without The CCPA Monitor; it would be like losing my sight and my hearing. I heartily recommend it to anybody who gives a damn about the condition of the world.
