Labour Market Impact Assessment

That's the H-1B visa in the US.

[laughs] And in Canada it's the LMIA and the TFW program.

[laughs] But isn't it interesting that on one end you have VP Vance saying, "We're gonna tackle it.

We're gonna bar Microsoft from basically creating a new system of indentured servitude"? Meanwhile, Canada is like, "Well, the best I can do is about a billion more LMIAs to save them horns." [laughs] The elite oligarch class is trying to suppress workers and replace the domestic population with cheap, subservient foreign workers.

That's a well-known thing.

Does it destroy the national fabric, the culture, the social cohesion of a country? Yes, but who cares? Profits, baby.

Uh, instead of giving them a, him a three-year work permit, they gave him only eight months, so he's moved with to Toronto with his four kids, and now he has, I think, six months left.

They need to check on what to do next, uh, on, on the LMIA on his, or sorry, on his work permit.

So, um, and then we've had other cases where it just got flat out refused, um, because the company's not profitable.

So this is the, the Carney government's now policy in place where if a startup or a tech, any company is not profitable or at least has, doesn't have a specific amount of profit, uh, in the previous fiscal year as the amount of the salary, so if the person has a hundred thousand dollar a year salary, you need to have at least hundred K's in profit last year.
