This Liberal Trap Will Backfire
by admin on Sep.10, 2011, under ECONOMY, POLITICS
The Ontario Liberals plan to to provide employers with a tax credit of up to $10,000, in return for hiring skilled, recent immigrants is a divisive job creation scheme. Governments should create across the board tax and regulatory reforms that will allow business to flourish and create economic prosperity for all.
No one disputes that skilled immigrants should be in jobs they are qualified to do. Nobody wants a skilled Doctor driving a taxi cab. But this problem is caused more by regulatory obstacles than a lack of will by employers to hire qualified individuals.
Criticize this plan and Liberals will label you anti-immigrant. Fortunately, I believe many independent voters won’t fall for this obvious trap. They will see this plan for what it is – another misguided Dalton job creation scheme that pits winners vs. losers. A change of leadership is needed in this province that understands that you listen to the needs of everyone and provide economic opportunity for all.
