using temporary foreign workers instead of Canadians. Another CEO meltdown ensues. The CEOs are so deluded about their job creater and infallability that they seem to decompensate when challenged with reality.

Here is part of what he said:

"This has been an attack on our brand. This has been an attack on our system. This is an attack on our people. It’s bullshit OK! I used those words when I described my conversation with the minister last week. He gets it."

Betts says he was "incredibly impressed" with the minister, adding, "He really knows his stuff. And I’ll say he knows his stuff from a business person’s perspective."

Responding sarcastically to how his company has been portrayed in the media, Betts said, "The fact of the matter is we are a big bad company, corporate, you know, bad company and these poor maligned employees are who they are."

"Yes, they are disenfranchised. Some of them don’t work for us anymore. But in the scheme of things, it doesn’t matter."

"This story has been brewing for a lot of years. And you know at the end of the day we just happen to be the business that got tapped into it and we weren’t the first. Obviously, RBC was," said Betts, referring to a previous CBC Go Public story."

2. Some serious ass needs to be kicked big time! I think millions upon millions are

really getting fed up and over the top with the bullishness and bullshit by many CEOs and the 5%+. A serious realignment of the financial infrastructure must occur. I had thought it might happen in the US, but it's stagnated, far too many are bred to be serfs. ... relative to a financial collapse, that's far from gone ... it was just band-aided ... all of the corruption, bribery and the rest of the mess is still there and the oligarchy has been strengthened. It could have been different ... I'll stop here.

In a recording of a conference call to franchisees, CEO John Betts rails against CBC stories

The CEO of McDonald's Canada has branded recent criticism of its use of temporary foreign workers "bullshit" in a conference call to franchisees that was given to the CBC.

His remarks from earlier this week came before federal Employment Minister Jason Kenney announced an immediate moratorium on the food services sector’s access to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program late on Thursday, as a result of CBC Go Public's inquiries.

Three McDonald's franchises in Victoria and a pizza restaurant in Weyburn, Sask., are at the centre of program abuse allegations involving Canadian employees alleging foreign workers were given priority work status or more hours.
