I wonder if Legault felt more emboldened to spout his anti-immigrant views because of how the far-right National Rally has been projected to win France’s next election. Seems Legault is hedging his bets and more than willing to have his centre-right party shift further to the right.

teaboss, if you would identify the groups who bitch and moan about “lack of grunt labor”, rather than simply writing “everyone,” your narrative would be more balanced. Economic questions are not well served with emotional reactions.

iesse! if you google for “penurie de main d’oeuvre” you will indeed find a lot of business entities, think tanks, politicians and others moaning about it. teasboss was not writing an academic essay on the subject, so the expression “everyone” is legitimate in context.

Kate, “business entities, think tanks and politicians” are not “everybody.” You and I are also part of everybody, and our opinions should matter.
It’s important to recognize that the entities that express a desire for less expensive labor… have particular interests that are not necessarily the same as the general population.
Recognizing this helps separate cold facts from paid-for propaganda.

Everybody in context, qatzelok.
