@izzy6590 "TFW" = "temporary foreign worker". These are workers imported by Porky who have no (as the Yanks would say) "path to citizenship". The category existed for decades as a niche, used primarily to bring in around 20k Jamaican workers to Southern Ontario during the farming season, who'd then go home with a chunk of change (still surely inadequate, like all workers under capitalism, but better than nothin'.
Since Stephen Harper's Tories, though, the program has brought in several hundred thousand people in non-seasonal jobs, working at places like Walmart, Tim Hortons (coffee shop chain) and McDonald's, as well as driving trucks and delivering Amazon packages and take-away food. In practice, no finite season means employers abuse workers with impunity, armed with the implicit threat that if they don't capitulate, they'll be on the next flight back to Delhi or México City.
