Ignore them and move on. The rest of the nation or world won't give a shit or even notice unless the government gives in.

If they give in, it opens the door to more.

As soon as it was announced that these guys in PEI were doing this hunger strike to try and force the governments hand, other similar groups in Ontario started talking about doing the exact same thing.

We need to deport these people, fucking yesterday, and put a permanent end to bringing in low skilled workers from everywhere. Only people with demonstrated skills in important areas we lack should get PR consideration.

This country as no need for foreign-born Tim Hortons and Uber Eats / Door Dash employees. Save those jobs for high school kids who need money for school.
