    What kind of exploitative capitalism do we have in Canada? And how is this allowed? This is utterly ridiculous!

        As mentioned, this is so far just one criminal at just one store.

        Loblaws can appear like total dicks at times, but this isn’t necessarily them. Render unto Caesar.

          So, the owner of this specific store posted it. As much as I hate how Loblaws has been capitalizing on peoples’ needs, this isn’t Loblaws, it’s the owner of one store.

          Do you know that for sure? I found this from seven months ago, if it’s the same manager, he seems to be getting away with it:

          Pharmacy Assistant vs Volunteer

          I’ve applied to about 15 SDM branches across Toronto for the past month until today. My applications were mixed. Even if I applied online, I also visit the branch to personally drop my resume. There was this one branch who told me that it’s nearly impossible to get inside SDM as a pharmacy assistant without Canadian pharmacy experience. I was a licensed pharmacist in my home country and I practiced clinical pharmacy for over 2 years.

          According to him, the best way to get in the system and their records will be as a volunteer. He was kinda of disappointed with how the system works, claiming that SDM encourages volunteerism to save a lot on training costs. Is it true that being a volunteer will help me out once there is a vacancy or an opening for a pharmacy assistant slot? Can I use it on my future applications as well?

      We are reaching the final logical conclusions of capitalism with Canadian characteristics.

      They will allow Amazon to build their " all inclusive " worksites where the workers can’t actually leave. These megacorporations are more powerful then the state is.

        Yeah it’s not just Canada. It’s done in every industrialized country. They do this in Europe including Scandinavian countries where they import African labor for agriculture (for instance they bring in African pickers for blue berries, etc). Same in Japan and Korea I believe.
