This workforce represents a real investment for those who know how to manage human resources and the economy intelligently.
Analysis of immigrant labor's economic impact on manufacturing, wages, costs, and profitability.

Trudeau is a joke. While he is pushing his agenda. Fur starters, he fails to mention the trade deficit with the usa. So bottom line while everyone loses, canada loses more. The us can survive a lot easier without canada, while canada will suffer a lot more without the usa.\n\nWhen i bring cheese from the usa to canada, there is a 200% tax on anything above my $20 personal exemption, the save is not the same when bringing dairy to the usa.\n\nIf you want to be treated fairly, treat others fairly.\n\nAfter watching zelensky from Ukraine, Trudeau is pretty stupid if he thinks he will win this one.
Focuses on trade deficits, tariff asymmetries, and economic disadvantage to Canada in US relations, with specific examples of pricing disparities.
