Some of the living conditions on farms are ridiculous.
This type of thing is where the Conservatives fail (not to give the Liberals a pass but I don't recall this when they were in power)....They believe that if you put a program in place that people will just do the right thing and not abuse it.
So...they won't police it...won't put people in place to check on it.
They wait for the complaints to come in then deal with it according to the criminal code...the idea has merit but in the mean time people will abuse it...it just a given.
on a positive note though...
It is a huge benefit to come to Canada for some work though.
Talked to a merchant in La Crucecita in Huatulco that had come to Canada during the summer to pick crops.
It took many summers but that is how he had built his house.
It is unfortunate something that can be beneficial can be taken advantage of...especially when it comes down to how you treat people.Comment
