An acquaintance was doing some work for a major American company. He was running over budget so the Americans suggested he hire some Mexicans because they work cheap. He found some and hired them then sent his bill in to the big company. The major company then asked him why the invoice was so high. He explained that this is Canada and we have strict laws regarding paying people and just because the Mexican workers were new to Canada they could not be exploited and paid less than Canadians.

@hippyjoe1955 Canada is upset at America for their right-to-work laws because treating workers like shit in America means corporations would rather go there, and the Canadians think that's a really slimy thing to do.

@BlueMetalChick No actually Canada hates all business and is doing its best to destroy it. Did you hear that the government is now trying to boost the taxes on small businesses just because it doesn't like business. Then the provincial governments are working over time to make their province a 'have not province'.

@hippyjoe1955 ...yeah I think you just made that up right now because Canada is not trying to eradicate business, especially not when I just gave you a clear example of Canada trying to increase business.

@BlueMetalChick You obviously don't live here or run a business.

BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F

@hippyjoe1955 Not anymore, but I used to live in Montreal.

And again, I did just tell you how Canada is trying to entice businesses into the country.

@BlueMetalChick Yeah sure. I live in Alberta and the exodus of capital is stunning. Then there is Quebec which just sunk billions into a company that gave the farm away to a European company to build airplanes in the US. Don't get me started on the fact that Ontario has priced itself out of the manufacturing market with its exorbitant energy costs. Add to that the fact that the small business person is paying 42% income tax and it is about to go up.

@hippyjoe1955 Yeah, I WISH those airplanes being built in the US weren't worth money but they need something to sell to the Muslim terrorists. America is arming them to the teeth while simultaneously pretending not to like them. That's plenty of business for you though.
