Tent cities disrupt Parks Canada camping program for immigrant families

I can’t think of a more Canadian story than this.

Apparently Parks Canada have been spending $6 million a year or so to teach “urban families and newcomers” how to camp. Using city parks and waterways. But now all those pesky homeless Canadians are getting in the way, how dare they!

My favorite part is that 48% of the recipients of this taxpayer camping program, report that they probably wouldn’t ever go camping for real, because it’s too cold and uncomfortable.

A community that was vocal in their desire for many TFWs, is now losing their biggest employer, the Howe Sound Pulp and Paper Mill. At least 400 jobs lost. Will they still claim there’s a labour shortage?

This is happening on the Sunshine Coast in BC. We had one of Martin’s investigative posts on the town of Sechelt, a couple months ago. Basically every business in town was filing for LMIAs. Now there are going to be hundreds of locals out of work and with less disposable income to spend in these businesses. Will they start applying for these LMIA jobs? Will the mayor and business leaders continue to agitate for more TFWs? The topic is of course not mentioned in the news story.
