TTC spokesperson Wanda Dunkelwasser explains why TTC no longer hires recent immigrants

Here is her explanation.

Yup, that's all too true and at the same time it's entirely fake news.

But often enough fake news turns out to be truer than true. Here's a very current story about the school-bus driver shortage in the Toronto area.

There is an obvious remedy to this driver shortage - pay the drivers a living wage already!

In Toronto, a unionized cement truck driver delivering concrete to a construction site makes about four times the hourly wage of a school bus driver.

Tells you something about our priorities as a society, doesn't it?

Knowing how things work in Justin's just society, nobody's gonna give the bus drivers a raise. Instead, the bus companies will produce a "labour market analysis" that shows Canada has a grievous shortage of qualified school-bus drivers, and voila, the floodgates will open to thousands of temp foreign workers who have driving experience.

Even if that driving experience consisted of driving twin oxen instead of a V-8.
