166,000 unemployed but BC recruits construction workers in Ireland

This isn't right!

Here's the latest numbers from Statistics Canada.

166,200 British Columbians officially unemployed but the contractors lobby has finagled the approvals to import workers from Ireland.

It's up to the unions, the employers, and the education system to ensure that Canadians are trained up to do those jobs.

And it's up to governments both in Victoria and Ottawa to show some leadership in making that happen.

Shame on all of them!
