Chretien expanded the high skill, TFW program to low skill, minimum wage employment because kids didn't want those jobs. It was especially hard to get university students for summer work. Kenney made it easier for restaurants to bring in TFW, he also did little to change the living conditions of TFW

True story: My brother made a tiny fortune doing corn detasseling in the 80s. I dont recall him complaining about anything but being tired. My kid did a day of corn detasseling in the 00s and said it was "boring and stupid work." Truth is, he was soft and arrogant.
