i.e. "Canadians don't like being exploited so we need people from India who don't mind it or simply don't know any better".
Why the hell should we bring over people from half way across the world to serve shitty coffee and crappy food? Canadians WILL work these jobs if you pay them enough. If you can't pay the people that already live here a decent wage then shut down. The fact they feel they have to bring in people from India and pay them shit shouldn't be tolerated.
You vastly overestimate the number of people who would choose higher prices in order to support higher wages. Vastly. I mean you almost sound crazy the idea is so out there. I wish you you were right though FWIW.
As a whole, society rewards the lowest acceptable quality at the lowest possible price. It's called capitalism and it is, in fact, the direct cause of the in progress collapse of civilization. And there's nothing you can do to stop it, because your neighbor will still happily line up for 15 minutes to get a lukewarm, incompletely cut bagel with 98% of the cream cheese on one side, with a mediocre coffee, served by a temporary foreign worker.
It's not the immigrants/TFWs, it never was, it never will be.
I agree with you but lets be fair here prices are going to go up regardless. in fact they have gone up regardless of the fact the majority of fast food places are now run by TFWs. But I feel like it's either one excuse over another "prices have gone up because you won't allow us to use TFWs" or "prices have gone up because of something else even though every store is now 100% TFW."
