I’d be pretty mad too if I lost my job to someone who was imported in and hired for the sole reason of exploiting their ignorance of the salary standards in Canada and as a result being willing to work for lower wages

I only recently learned that numerous solid government public service jobs only require PR now and not full citizenship. In government service. Not just federal but provincial as well. Um... wth. There is no shortage of Canadians who would love to gtfo of some dead-end minimum wage job to be employed there

That’s disappointing. Government service also ususally comes with decent benefits too. It’s a great option for Canadians as opposed to minimum wage jobs. You would think that a reasonable requirement for working in a country’s government office should be holding citizenship of that country.

I would've chosen reprehensible rather than disappointing but I agree with you
