Canadian business: 'Please send Mexicans'
Canadian business: 'Please send Mexicans'
Posted by John McGrath
27 Feb 2007
From the unfolding saga of "how Canada can suck ever more oil from the ground" we get this little news item:
Canada and Mexico should accelerate efforts to import temporary Mexican energy workers to alleviate the skills shortage in Alberta and other provinces as oil sands development ramps up, top North American CEOs will recommend today.
It's mildly amusing that the most heavily Conservative region of Canada is so desperate for workers that Mexicans are apparently necessary. But the facts are that there's very little in the way of opposition to major developments in Alberta. Both provincial and federal levels of government have historically favored a strategy of growing the tar sands as rapidly as possible. The low-ball estimates see Canadian oil production tripling by 2020, with all the increase coming from the tar sands. And if something as trivial as "wages" or "willing bodies" is keeping the precious, precious crude from flowing, then it's clearly time to bring in replacements.
It's not so much that everyone loves the idea of defiling cubic kilometers of land and water to keep U.S. cars running, it's that nobody has any strong vision of an alternative -- selling Americans raw materials is kind of what we do up here, and it's a tough habit to break.

Oh come on! Canadians drive too! The World accuses America of doing everything and anything, and I'm sick of it....China is spitting out all the pollution now, but is anyone saying anything?
Do not vote for Party this year, vote for America and American workers!

Cows: Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that our government can track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington? And, then track her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give them all a cow.

U.S. Probably wouldn't need so much gas and fuel if 30 million illegals
(according to south American papers) went home. that would cut down on some major fuel right ther!

No this article does not say the Canadian tar sands industry want to get our illegal aliens. What they are after is getting some of the trained Mexican petrochemical engineers and technologists to work in Canada for more money than they would for Pemex.
That is a fairly easy goal since the Mexican government has been using the Pemex revenues to pay for the rest of their bloated bureaucracy. This could actually be a positive development if the Mexicans suffer from a petroleum industry brain drain they may deregulate it.I support enforcement and see its lack as bad for the 3rd World as well. Remittances are now mostly spent on consumption not production assets. Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
