Pierre Poilievre has also said Canada should cancel the program with exceptions for difficult-to-fill agricultural jobs

There’s no such thing. A job role that’s hard to fill either requires specialized skills that few people have, or the employer is unwilling to pay a reasonable wage.

And while harvesting and farming require a lot of skills, it’s something that can be trained on the job. It’s not surgery. A novice can come in and still be useful while they build other skills.

But if we’re not willing to do that and instead need to import indentured servants, I’m not sure how to respond.

Agree. Agriculture is not open rocket surgery. It doesn't take long to train.

Not saying that it's easy, as it's super labour intensive.
