IN RESPONCE TO THE EXTRA SKI DAY FOR THE BRITS. ARE WE REALLY A CANADINAN MAJORITY ? WITH ALL THE AUSSIES HERE WE ARE QUICKLY BECOMING OUT NUMBERED. SIMON HOUWSE IS ADVERTISING IN AUSTRALIA BRINGING OVER WORKERS WHO WORK FOR $12/HR, LIVE IN HIS BUILDINGS AND DRINK AT HIS BARS. THE 901 BUILDILD IS A TESTAMENT TO THIS, AS IT IS HARD TO FIND ANY CANADIANS PERIOD.THE MAJOROTY OF LONG TIME EMPLOYEES WHO WERE CANADIAN WERE LAID OFF AS THE NEW AUSSIE WORK FORCE WILL WORK FOR SO MUCH CHEAPER. WHERE ONCE THE SHORT TERM AUSSIES WERE WELCOME ,THEY NOW HAVE TAKEN MANY YEAR ROUND JOBS THAT CANADIANS COULD HAVE. IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN THE FUTURE, AS MORE COME EVERY YEAR AND STAY LONGER. AUSSIE DAY AND NOW NUMEROUS AUSSIE APPECIATION DAYS HAVE BECOME BIGGER THAN NEW YEARS EVE. GOOD DAY MATE
