Holy shit.

What a country we've become.

Would it be right to say this started under Harper but continued under Trudeau?

I don't know if the TFW program was used that way back in the 80's. I was too young to remember.

This abuse of the TFW program seems to have started with Harper. It's the first time I heard about this problem, but I could be wrong.

It was abused by millionaire farm owners who didn't want to pay Canadians high enough wages and cried to the government about how hard-done they were. They did, at least, have an excuse, in the form of keeping food prices low.

It's since moved on to multimillionaire Tim Horton franchisee owners who need the TFW program so they can afford payments on their second mistress's third Mercedes.
