Marci McDonald and Jason Kenney

Jason Kenney: Most observers of Canadian politics know about efforts led by Kenney to woo "hard-working Canadians" -- recent immigrants -- to expand the base of the governing party. McDonald lays out problems in the Kenney/Harper approach that could come back to haunt the Conservatives at election time, according to Rabble. Light shed on TFWs with no right to remain in Canada caused grief for companies such as McDonald and the Royal Bank when it turned out TFWs displaced Canadians workers and In her much-discussed Walrus profile of Jason Kenney , award-winning journalist Marci McDonald questions how well immigration policy designed as part of Harper Conservative political strategy is playing out. The Temporary Foreign Worker TFW program has Kenney working overtime on damage control. The high-publicized replacement of Canadians by TFWs scared the minister into making changes to the program. This raised the ire of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, a key backer of the Harper Conservatives. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
