Employer attitudes and behaviors that need to change in BC

I was recently privy to some disturbing information from a Manager of a popular Home decoration outlet. This manager is responsible for hiring, and rather than post job opportunities for her store in newspapers or the internet she will march directly to a Immigration Employment office for potential candidates or she would actively seek a temporary foreign worker. She reasoned that Canadians would not apply for night shifts or shift work, they would either quit or turn down the opportunity, and lastly that foreign workers have the training that Canadians lack for the position and they will work for less money. Even more disturbing, she stated that English language skills was not a condition of employment because she uses a phone app to translate and communicate with her employees. I am disgusted by her hiring practises that don't favor Canadian citizens, her prejudiced beliefs about Canadians not being skilled or dependable enough to fill the positions, and I am appalled that she is a managerial position.

British Columbia should include in their Employment Standards Act that they will only hire Canadian citizens that speak the official language(s) of Canada. That Canadian employers will no longer post positions that prefers the candidate to speak a non-native language of Canada because this practise heavily discriminates against Candian citizens, and creates cultural and racial exclusivity in the workplace. Lastly, Employers will have their business licence revoked if they hire temporary foreign workers, outsource their business outside of Canada, do not pay taxes or send majority of their profits to another country, or discriminate against hiring Canadians in their workplace. Respect and preference for jobs in BC needs to be given to Canadians.
