The polling numbers must be huge against this if even the commies are on board.

Careful Davey Boy, those CCP people that pay you won't be happy with this. They bring in their families under this sham program.

Holy Fukushima! First sane thing that this emasculated incompetent has said since taking office. Now, the only downside is that he is a racist fo saying it. That's the word on the street

What was also missed was the impact on Healthcare. With aging parents myself in the 70's and 80's it's not just young people missing out on jobs, it's the impact on access to timely healthcare across Canada.

What we might be witnessing now in the Western world is an emerging cultural dominance of right-leaning populism and nationalism over the hyperprogressivism that peaked in 2020

Escobar Eby come back from vacation! He is one of the causes why people are losing their jobs too and we have so many drugs addiction problems and why the food banks are filling up. Thanks to the NDP government who’s been in power since 2017

Eby is not a serious politician. He pretends to care about people while he robs us of our property rights and access to parks and crown land with his insane policies. The only thing I want to hear from him is that he is resigning in shame for what he has done to BC.

Ending the program is a start. But not enough. The TFWs and Student Visa holders must be remigrated to their countries of origin.

BC has 1240 Vacancies listed today. Look and see the Businesses that are looking to import foreign workers and how much the jobs pay and you will not convince me they can’t find Canadian workers to fill most of these jobs. jobbank.gc.ca/jobsearch/jobs… @MichelleRempel @AaronGunn

I think his children are becoming teenagers and they might want a job soon so he's just preparing so that he doesn't have bad table talk when his children are in high school

Translation: Eby and the BCNDP recognize that newcomers are coming from countries with conservative family values, capitalist, religious, valuing private property, are unlikely to embrace sexual identity politics, signaling future irrelevance for their party.

Again, we assume young ppl are qualified for these jobs. Many of the jobs require schooling. Many jobs would not even be considered by Cdns. Eby is sounding as simple as PP. Eby should concentrate on training BC youth for the jobs of the future and quit bitching at the feds.

Hell has frozen over. @Dave_Eby has shown a shred of common sense. Too bad it's far too late to save his pathetic career.

This is just talk intending to scapegoat foreigners. Instead of cancelling a foreign worker program, BC businesses need regulations that prevent them from exploiting foreign workers but of course the government wouldn’t dare to do something that eats into their profit margins.

Completely agree. And actually it seems like the TFW program has excessively brought in workers from just one country, India.
