Majority Government and Prime Minister Stephen Harper

Prime Minister Stephen Harper: Indeed, we would be nuts to be anything but skeptical about this effort by the government to "change the channel" on what really is a national scandal, according to Rabble. I don't think anyone has missed it that -- at least until Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his reformed Reform Party gang got their hooks into a majority government -- Canada was a desirable destination for working people and their families from every part of the world. People quite literally risk their lives to come here and Canadians are within their rights to be highly skeptical of the long list of changes to the Harper Government Temporary Foreign Workers Program announced yesterday by Employment Minister Jason Kenney. First, there has simply never been any reason for a temporary worker recruitment program in Canada except as an illegitimate mechanism to suppress wages and weaken the bargaining position of Canadian workers.
