If you aren't getting good service from the Federal government office nearest you....

The ‘shadow PS’: Feds pay minimum wage to thousands of temps

The job, when you come across it on the staffing agency website, looks promising. Government finance clerk, accounting degree required. You’ve got that.

Three years experience. That too.

Conversational French? Un petite peu, but probably enough.

Just a five-week contract, but hey, maybe it could lead to more.

Then you see the hourly rate: $10.25 — Ontario’s minimum wage.

You move on. The recycling plant, you notice, needs sorters. Must have basic reading, writing and math and be able to perform physical tasks. Pay is $11 an hour. Maybe more when Ontario bumps the minimum wage on June 1 by 75 cents.

And already better than government work.

I hope your kids and grandkids are proud of you for supporting these creeps and forcing them to the food bank.

The reality of todays world is that the cost of living is well above minimum wage and will continue to be. Housing will not be decreasing, transportation will not be decreasing and the cost of food will not decrease.

So tell me honestly where are you, your children or grand children going to find the money to pay for health care insurance?

This Harper government is insuring the early demise of the Canadian people in support of corporations...... is that really what you want?
