The Globe and Mail – Union Calls for Review of Temporary Foreign Workers Program
A union is calling for a review of the impact the temporary foreign worker program has had on the construction industry in Western Canada, saying a federal government report ignored the issue. The Western Canadian arm of the Labourers’ International Union of North America says a report released last month by a House of Commons committee fell short, and failed even to acknowledge a 123-page submission from the union.
CBC – CBC-Angus Reid Institute Poll: Canadians Want Minorities to do More to “Fit In”
In a national polling partnership between CBC and the Angus Reid Institute, 68 per cent of Canadian respondents said minorities should be doing more to fit in with mainstream society instead of keeping their own customs and languages. The same question was put to Americans, with only 53 per cent of respondents saying minorities need to better adjust. The Canadian response represents a hardening of attitudes away from multiculturalism over time.

CBC – Hungarian Voters Appear set to Deliver a Blow to EU Migrant Quotas
For months, the Hungarian government has blitzed the country’s public spaces with alarmist messages designed to whip up fears of immigrants ahead of Sunday’s referendum on the European Union’s plan to resettle refugees across the bloc. […] An 18-page booklet distributed to millions of Hungarian households warns: “If we don’t take action, in a couple of decades we won’t recognize Europe.” […] Fuelled by these anti-refugee sentiments, the government appears on track to win the referendum by an overwhelming majority. Such a victory would be touted as a national demonstration of opposition to the EU’s plan — currently proving ineffective — to ease the refugee crisis by asking each member state to resettle a certain number of people. In Hungary’s case, it would be about 1,300 of them.
Saskatoon Star Phoenix – Viewpoint: Provinces can Help Protect Temporary Foreign Workers
The provinces can do more to ensure the rights of this vulnerable group are protected. Despite rules in place to prevent abuses, many Canadians would be surprised at the challenges and precarious situations many temporary foreign workers face. There are stories of unscrupulous recruiters abroad charging inordinate fees to find temporary foreign workers a job in Canada. After arrival some employers even demand reimbursement for their travel to Canada, and overcharge for accommodation while on the job. There are some employers who may require people to work significant overtime without pay or, despite rules that say they must be paid at the median wage for their occupation, pay them less than that.
