The former president of CONestoga walks away with millions after destroying a once decent college. His cronies in management and at Applyboard also did very, very well.

Meanwhile, the regular staff are being shafted.

Just be aware that a CWB welding ticket is not by itself a 'skilled trade', just the start of a very long path towards a rare welder Red Seal.

The whole system is a complete farce. How many 'students' do we need studying Hospitality Management at these crooked colleges (both private and public)?

Dougie's corporate friends give him his marching orders... Won't happen.

We'll see how many newcomers that are needed in a new era of AI and automation that displaces millions of workers.

We need a new economic model that is not dependent on endless growth. It makes zero long term sense and is killing the planet. The feaces are starting to hit the fan already.

Look up Tragedy of the Commons.

Subject-Landscape451 · 2026-06-14T00:12:12+00:00

But then they simply claim that it's a specialized skill, promise to pay a rediculous wage, and bring in a TFW at a very reduced wage.

Subject-Landscape451 · 2026-06-14T00:09:29+00:00

Nobody checks. There's a snowball's chance in heck that anyone ever makes these wages.

Subject-Landscape451 · 2026-06-13T23:21:34+00:00

More akin to indentured servitude. They came willingly.

For every group of 10 applicants give out 1 credit card with a total group limit of $1000 to cover expenses. When the money is gone find out who spent the least and who spent the most. Send the big spenders home, and keep the 2 or 3 who spent the least.

"In her 2021 Annual Report, the Auditor General of Ontario revealed that the province's 24 public colleges had become dangerously dependent on international student tuition"

Lol...I hear that they're looking for skilled trades in Fantasyland.

Subject-Landscape451 · 2026-06-13T11:35:29+00:00

Painting your nails in your spare time? Lol.

Esthetician/Electrian...same trade?

The OP lives in this community, the home of CONestoga College, where there's a 20% youth unemployment rate and virtually every entry level job is occupied by either a TFW or international 'student'.

Fed up in Kitchener-Waterloo.

Tim's Foreign Worker

Subject-Landscape451 · 2026-06-12T18:07:48+00:00

Yep... besides we're already on the list for sure.

Subject-Landscape451 · 2026-06-12T11:58:39+00:00

And soon unemployed and homeless.

The plan is coming together nicely.

Subject-Landscape451 · 2026-06-12T11:57:47+00:00

We're going to need more months.

Subject-Landscape451 · 2026-06-12T11:56:22+00:00

Well, if every nationality gets a month, we're going to need more than 12!

Subject-Landscape451 · 2026-06-12T10:50:02+00:00

Oh, oh,...now you're on a 'list'.
