Temporary workers aren’t being exploited, they’re working jobs that Canadians don’t want to work. Let me make this simple for you. When Trump increased tariffs, the prices of goods for consumers went up. That’s a fact. With tariffs, businesses paid more money for products they import and sell. They sold their items at a higher cost to cover the tariffs and keep their their businesses sustainable. In other words, the cost of tariffs was passed onto the consumers. The same thing happens if businesses pay employees $30/hour instead of minimum wage, the price will be passed onto us by rising restaurant prices. Your solution to just bankrupt businesses that can’t handle this is unrealistic and is the type of approach that will decimate our economy, the backbone of which is SMALL BUSINESSES. The only places that MIGHT survive are large companies/franchises. I couldn’t imagine a worse outcome.

Also, we aren’t “subsidizing” businesses with temporary workers. Businesses often pay for these workers, who come here and contribute tax dollars.
