I understand completely how a global economy works, what I don't understand with the FIPA deal is how it benefits Canadians at all? With gas jumping the way it did, I'd prefer if we kept our oil and started exporting gasoline, diesel and other refined petroleum products.

You just told us that you completely understood how global economy works !!!!!!
Sorry but I can no longer partake in your discussions as I can no longer take you seriously.
I hope the good lord helps the lefties to see the errors.

I don't believe that. If I have a Journeyman Electrician working for me I'd pay him the same as a Union Electrician. Then theres no issues. If I can no longer pay him a union wage I would offer other incentives. Unions only come in when employers treat there staff like crap. Most places will chase them out if the employer has been good to them.

Unless there is an NDP gov't. It then restricts all gov't work to unions only, whether employees want one or not. Been there. anyone who tells you different has not got a clue.
Look at this $15 minimum wage. Who is in favor of it? Those who will get it, those who are already making more than minimum, those who are not employers who's bottom line is directly affected and those who don't have to pay for it. What employee is not going to look for $5 more an hour? Again who is in favor of a $5 raise. Anyone who doesn't have to pay it.
When will people learn there is no free lunch and that when the government 'gives' you something, it was already yours or they took it from someone else. Government does not generate wealth.........except for politicians.

Quantity might be the same, but 9 out 10 the quality of work for the union member will be much much better........its called training........not grabbing the cheapest labour regardless of skills just so you can make more money. That is the contractor way........all about money and if they happen to actually have some quality of work and don't have to come back 2 or 3 times to fix it ...........bonus.

There's actually a lot more truth to this than you realize. The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (started in the 1970s) was significantly expanded in 2006 under Harper's leadership and between 2006-2014 over 500,000 temporary foreign workers were brought into Canada. It's only once Canadians realized their jobs were being replaced and everyone including the conservative base protested that they put in place the current restrictions, announcing these as if they weren't at fault in the first place.

I'm just saying that it's illogical to say look at Greece's debt problem without acknowledging that we've consistently had deficits under the Harper Government. If your blaming Greece's situation on socialism you could just as easily look at Sweden and Norway as successes in socialism.

Ya I see the influx of foreign workers too.
Sad as it may be.
But some of them have become good friends with very interesting and sometimes very disturbing backgrounds of their homeland.
