1st question on job resume: do you speak mandarin?

Albertans should pay close attention

Mandarin required in worker permits for B.C. mine project - British Columbia - CBC News

I guess the question is which coast?

The northern gateway pipeline to Bc that Enbridge wants to build and ship unrefined crude to china.

Not a big difference?! If you worked in a facility you would feel differently.
How would you feel if you worked in the balzac gas plant, or the Bowden refinery .

And the downward spiral begins!

I don't agree with hiring temporary foreign workers at all. Those projects get government approval because they are supposed to mean jobs for Canadians. Not to outsource labor to foreign countries and siphon profits out of Canada.

Oh come on, none of this matters, he got rid of the gun registry....... That's what is important........

There was an article about this in the papers a few weeks ago. It's not about "bringing in cheap foreign labor". It's about Canadians who would rather receive gov't benefits as opposed to working in Northern Alberta. The wages are more than fair, but people don't want to work there. Basically, we are inviting cheap foreign labor because people are "too good" to go where the work is. Sad really. I tell ya, if I am out of work....I'll go there before I line up for work at Walmart or 7-11.

It has already started in every corner store and gas station most fast food joints and taxi cabs. We are a spoiled province and most are to good for those jobs and welfare is way to easy.

you moving dave? seen alot of frac trucks heading towards drayton valley area friday night, bj, trican, calfrac, and a pile of service trucks. must be some big push all of a sudden, as the price of oil $84 or gas $3.45 dosen't warrant that big of a rush. must be something coming down the pipeline. or one of the oil companies is trying to attrack a big sale. penn west? cnrl?

Really, they said that they would rather sit at home and live on the pittance that the government hands out than got to work for Ft Mac wages.? Or that is the spin that the people bringing over the cheap labour put on the article. You don't think that these companies would rather have a captive workforce that doesn't really understand the language or their rights and are willing to work for much less than Canadians as opposed to Canadians who will demand fair wages and treatment?
How about scheduling projects to follow one another and keep a Canadian workforce employed for decades as opposed to happening all at once to create a false labour shortage so they can dilute the workforce with cheap foriegn labour and drive the wages down.

Not sure what you getting at, but the sprial started to happen awhile ago, and the sale IMO is another piece of the puzzle.
My point was, Id like to see new facilities getting built and a canadian product refined in Canada. Why should canada rely on modern forign refinerys when the refinerys here are getting out dated and shut down.
