O'Toole is just paying lip service. He wouldn't want to alienate his wealthy donors and drive their money to the Liberal Party. The wealthy want to increase their return on investment as much as humanly possible. And that often involves outsourcing labour abroad. They see labour as an expense, not an asset.
The TSX is down 13.17% from the Feb 20 peak. The wealthy investor class is not loyal to Canadian enterprise, let alone Canadian labour. They invest in whatever they feel is going to give them the best return. And right now their preferred investments are in Canadian real estate and foreign enterprise. And they prefer cheap foreign labour to expensive Canadian labour.
This is a good message for the CPC to have, although if they want to be fully pro-worker they should run against mass immigration.
Fist step: cancel the Harper FIPA China trade agreement.
Also remember when the "liberal media" attacked Harper for selling us out to China?
