Your daily horoscope: March 14, 2026

ARIES (March 21 - April 20): What’s done is done and cannot be undone, so don’t start thinking you can turn the clock back on a situation that caused you a fair amount of personal grief. What occurs this weekend will give you the chance to move on with your life. Take it.

Poilievre Urges End to Temporary Foreign Worker Program, Citing Youth Job Crisis

                                            Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre  


Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on the federal Liberal government to abolish Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program, arguing it has contributed to rising youth unemployment and wage suppression. Speaking in Mississauga, Ont., Poilievre accused the Liberals of allowing corporations to replace Canadian workers—particularly young people—with lower-paid foreign labour, while exploiting those workers in the process.

He singled out fast-food chains, including Tim Hortons and Booster Juice, for allegedly prioritizing TFW hires over local candidates. Tim Hortons responded that fewer than five per cent of its employees are hired through the program, typically in small communities where no local applicants are available, and that wages remain competitive.

Poilievre’s proposal includes creating a separate, standalone program for agricultural jobs that are genuinely hard to fill, with a transition period of up to five years before the TFW program is fully phased out.

Prime Minister Mark Carney defended the program’s role, particularly in regions facing labour shortages, but acknowledged the need for policy adjustments. The federal government has already introduced caps on TFW intake as part of broader immigration reforms aimed at reducing the proportion of temporary residents in Canada.
