Not in the People's Republic of British Columbia...
•• VANCOUVER •• "A partner in HD Mining was granted permission to bring in nearly 100 temporary foreign workers using documents listing Mandarin as a language requirement, a Freedom of Information Act request has revealed."
"Ninety-five of the LMOs (Labour Market Opinions, a prerequisite required by Service Canada) — to prove the company made sufficient efforts to find Canadians for the jobs — listed Mandarin as the sole language requirement for the positions."
"The jobs paid between $28 and $52 per hour, as well as management positions at $150,000 per year."
Hmmm... anybody know the current rate of unemployment in Lotus Land?
