we also hire fron austrailia when we can
so nothing cheap about it
X2. A buddy who runs a greenhouse brings up the seasonal workers from south america. they have had mexicans, trinidads, and others. They simply cannot find the workers here in canada to do these jobs. Nothing new in the ag business. They work hard for less than us greedy canadians will. Why would this have anything to do with the swine flu anyways... The tourists are spreading it.
