If governments at all levels want to see new, affordable housing built in Canada they can’t count on the private sector to do the job.

Yeah, I’m sure for something like electrical you wouldn’t want someone fresh from the third world in charge. Framing, on the other hand, should be eminently doable.

Hmm, what is the unionisation rate?

Even framing has a lot to learn. Not a lot of stick frame construction done outside of North America.

Does it? I wasn’t aware there was a way to mess it up that bad. I used electrical because of the stricter safety standards.

It’s also worth mentioning that if we’re talking, like, poor refugees, they tend to be far better with their hands than first world people, since they were mending, building and working fields while we were all reading textbooks. I’m guessing the elites that we tend to prefer are more comparable to us.
