One in four new jobs went to temporary foreign workers
Well, it looks like Kijiji isn't the only problem with the Conservatives' job numbers.
It turns out that a good chunk of new jobs in Canada -- one in four, to be exact -- were filled by temporary foreign workers, while unemployed Canadians couldn't find work.
The recent report from Parliamentary Budget Office spells it out.
The office found that the increase in the number of Labour Market Opinion (LMO) confirmations for temporary foreign workers in 2012 was equivalent to 25.6 per cent of the increase in employment, "despite total LMO confirmations representing only 1.1 per cent of the labour force."
(A snapshot of the labour market in 2012, the period under review by the PBO, showed that Canada's unemployment rate sat at 7.3%. The youth unemployment rate was much higher, at 13.9% for people aged 15-24. That translates to 394,000 young people.)

If your children or grandchildren want to work in Canada I suggest you send them to a foreign country to apply for work in the Harper regime controlled workplace
