DOOOOOM..........200 chinese coalworkers on way to canada at half usual wages.

whoa.

it's things like this, slipping under the fucking radar we should be shouting and screaming about on here!

ENOUGH!!!

Do you have a source for this?

Methinks the time for action has long past.

Its head for the hills time.

You mean you never heard of it? I guess they didnt put it on the TV on the evening CBC jewshour.

Want me fish it out?

Anyone reminded of that movie "Campaign" and the "Insourcing" gag?

In daily life, white Canadians felt free to show their dislike of Chinese people without any concern for the consequences.

Children tormented Chinese peddlers on the street, tipping their carts and destroying what they had to sell, while politicians and newspaper editors condemned the Chinese in speeches and writings. Sometimes public swimming pools were off-limits to Chinese people. As well, Chinese people were only allowed to sit in special sections of some movie theatres.

The above and worse is what canadians will have to look forward to if chinese become dominant in canada.

Ever hear how Tibetans are treated?

just a matter of time till they do that here in the USA. They've got a lot of dollars to unload. Offer slave wages and then bring in their own people.

Please check your source(s) ...

They are being paid approximately $32 an hour.

Wow!
A stunning precedent is being set.
Canadians need to speak up on this one and nip it in the bud.

There were Canadians who applied ...
They also came with previous mining experience...
In the end, they were not hired.

CBC Radio had an interview with both a Chinese worker who near the end of his gratitude also stated he would be sending home the monies earned here to his parents AND a Canadian drill operator who said his experience did not matter to the employer who in the end, did not hire him.

I almost missed it ...

CBC jewshour ... LMAO

lmao glad you mentioned Tibetans so we fully understand what kind of retard you are

VANCOUVER - A mining company that has hired hundreds of temporary workers from China for its northern B.C. coal mine advertised those jobs in Canada for $10 to $17 less than what is paid for similar work at a nearby mine, a lawyer representing two unions told a federal court judge on Friday.

Thanks for the link ...
Possible that the earlier CBC Radio version was wrong.
Perhaps the $32 was meant to be related to the "near by" mine which holds unionized workers.
In any case, I am not interested in the small details just yet, the fact they are 'importing' labour while unemployment still exists is where I feel our policy makers are not representing the average Canadian population.

Sold out by our so-called representitives.

I am suprised there is not much reaction.

Haha! Your Mexicans are Chinese.

nothing a well placed charge couldn't get rid of.

Its called economic treason by your government, enjoy it!

Man, they built the railroads back in the day, is this history repeating itself?

Back then we had the brains and the ball to send them home when they were done.

Now???????? Ah hahahahaha.

Mexicans are mild compared to chinese.

balls*

USA POPULATION 312 MILLION MEXICO 114 MILLION

CANADA POPULATION 35 MILLION CHINA POPULATION 1,300 MILLION.

HEEEEEEEEEELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the nineties american workers flocked to walmart to buy cheap made in china shit. You didn't worry about slave labor then.

Worry now.

Like hell bud. I was worried about china 20 years ago.

B.C. mining company required workers speak Mandarin: court docs

A mining company under scrutiny over its plan to bring 201 Chinese miners to a proposed project in northern British Columbia listed Mandarin as a language requirement when it applied for temporary foreign worker permits, newly released documents reveal.

The Federal Court released a package of documents Friday linked to HD Mining's proposed Murray River underground coal mine, which has been overshadowed by controversy over the use of temporary foreign workers.

Among those documents is one of HD Mining's applications, listing Chinese as a language requirement, to Human Resources and Skills Development Canada for a labour market opinion - an assessment conducted by the federal department that assesses the need to hire foreign workers instead of Canadians.

Several unions have accused the company of failing to attempt to hire or train Canadians before resorting to foreign workers, pointing to several job ads that specifically referred to Mandarin.

conflicting figures

Now it has been revealed that the offers of employment at the Murray River project include the requirement that applicants speak Mandarin. HD Mining is seeking mining engineers, industrial electricians and underground mine workers. Advertised pay rates for these positions range from $25 to $40 an hour.

Maybe 25. to 40. an houtr, still thats 10. to 17. less than union or going rates, I am not sure which.

Once the chinese workers get here the chinese government will start taking all the workers' money. The chinese company will also ignore environmental and safety standards, NO doubt of that. And where does it all stop?

Whats to stop china from buying thousands of canadian companies and bringing millions of chinese here? Really now, what are 50 million people to china?. Eventually canadians will be starving and freezing in their formally own country.

yup they want to bring in 3000 skilled workers in now WHY?

So the base rate falls in half? So that people are forced to rent rather than to own?

I am sure there are 3000 OF OUR OWN PEOPLE that would be glad to get into trades to better their lives! INVEST in them not the turds that will suck our COUNTRY dry!
