Cheap Labour: Canada

     Canada,  the so-called land of opportunities. This statement is a known
fact due to the large amount of people immigrating to our country. It all
started back in the 50's and is still occurring in the 90's. I will be
discussing the different working mentalities between French Canadians and
immigrants coming from various parts of the world. I will compare "Voiceless
People"  by Marco Micone, and White Niggers of America by Pierre Vallieres.
White Niggers emphasizes on the mentality of French Canadian working class and
Voiceless People emphasizes on immigrant's mentality towards working, which in
this case is the Italian community.
     After reading "Rivalry Over the Ethnic Minorities", it was like reading
my own family's past when they immigrated  in Quebec back in the early 70's.

The main point I'm trying to show is that the immigrants have a stronger
ambition and desire to become more successful than the French do, maybe because
they are not at home and threatened by others. This is the world view  almost
all immigrants have and this concept has a major effect on their lives.
Voiceless People is exactly the same scenario for Antonio and his family.
Antonio came here very poor and unable to speak a word of  French. He started
working in factories  with very bad pay and even worse working conditions. Just
like the typical immigrant, he never gave up, didn't let anyone put him down,
continued to work because he had an ambition to become successful and buy a
house knowing that he earned it with his own sweat. As a newcomer to this
country, he seemed to succeed with gre...
