The Prime Minister seems to have a pathological aversion to taking responsibility.
When the Liberals first took office, the federal cabinet featured some reasonable and moderate ministers who could think for themselves.
Unfortunately, people like Jody Wilson-Raybould, Jane Philpott, and Bill Morneau were pushed aside in favour of individuals further to the left of the political spectrum.
These new cabinet ministers have since reinforced Justin Trudeau’s worst instincts.
With little pushback, the government now closely resembles Justin Trudeau himself, showing a near-pathological aversion to taking responsibility, combined with an incessant drive to blame others.
And so, having wrecked Canada’s once-vaunted immigration system by ramping up intake under the Temporary Foreign Worker program, the Liberals now plan to blame Canadian businesses:
“Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government is mulling a change to help crack down on abuses of temporary foreign workers — publicly naming individual business managers or owners who violate Canada’s labor rules.
The measure would be part of a broader set of reforms to clean up the country’s migrant labor system, according to people familiar with the matter, speaking on condition they not be identified.
The government is facing heavy criticism for a policy that has made it much easier for companies to bring in temporary foreign workers, or TFWs, and for lax enforcement of rules intended to protect them. Trudeau’s administration, responding to concerns about labor shortages, increased the limits on low-wage TFWs in 2022, allowing firms to hire up to 20% of their staff through that program — with a 30% limit in certain sectors, such as construction.”
Read that part again:
“Trudeau’s administration, responding to concerns about labor shortages, increased the limits on low-wage TFWs in 2022, allowing firms to hire up to 20% of their staff through that program – with a 30% limit in certain sectors, such as construction.”
The Trudeau government decided to ramp up the TFW program, yet they now plan to blame businesses for the consequences.
It’s utterly absurd.
After nearly nine years in office, Canadians are tired of Trudeau’s “it’s always somebody else’s fault” shtick.
