Alberta’s bogus labour shortage | The Common Sense Canadian

Read this article by Tony Clark at rabble.ca which deflates the idea that foreign workers need to be brought in for Alberta projects. Excerpt: “The Certified General Accountants Association of Canada released its own report with similar findings. Their findings include ‘Labour shortages are difficult to observe and measure directly’ and ‘Where sufficient data exists, an assessment shows that labour shortages occurred rather sporadically and did not persist for more than one year at a time over the past ten years.’
These bad numbers lead to bad public-policy decisions.” (August 7, 2012)
