The real kicker is all of the migrant workers that were expected to be landing April 1st are now going to be denied entry. In Ontario alone that is 15,000 skilled workers and 50,000 across Canada. If the labour shortage isn't addressed immediately many types of vegetables will not be planted this year. We are likely to have food shortages if this isn't addressed immediately. Planting starts within weeks and any delays will be catastrophic"

"Don't worry, all the rich people have giant back yards and will immediately hire the many people out of work to grow food for just them." Sorry, that was very cynical. I'm sure the great U.S.A. can do much better than that.
