hidden jewels
this piece discusses Canada's new approach towards immigration. they are trying to shift "the focus of the traditional immigration preference for university educated migrants including engineers and doctors". they are looking to find "hidden jewels" amongst incoming migrants. by locating and accepting more skilled migrants, their country and job market can prosper and grow. there are 1.4 million Canadians trying to find work in Canada and by only really accepting the highly skilled immigrants, more Canadians can receive work. Olivia Chow said "Canada has relied on immigration too often to fill needs in the labour market, where there are plenty of options at home. only bringing in workers would make it difficult for those who gain residency or citizenship to bring their families to Canada". they are also trying to possibly make it easier to deport people in order to only have the best. however, Chow and others disagree and claim that the only big change need to be more border security. this idea is relevant because it brings into question whether or not immigration really is a good idea; if they take so many jobs that citizens could, then what are they really helping?

ReplyDeleteBoth of these entries explore the extent to which government involvement in our lives has merit. Looking at immigration issues (particularly in Canada) or at specific tax laws are complex but timely and intriguing.
