Nobody here has mentioned the elephant in the room: Corporations are being allowed to "legally" dodge $15 billion in taxes every year
I've been stuck in a relatively dead-end job for a while. Getting severely underpaid but haven't been able to find something I can transition to.
My girlfriend has been looking for work post graduation for two years now. Got a few temporary gigs but nothing full time. We both have post secondary education. I'm working with computers, she's doing accounting.
With Carney sucking up to Trump and the project 2025 shitheads, I don't forsee us getting any kind of improvements in the next decade.
“These numbers can partly be blamed on the Trump tariffs, which I campaigned on being uniquely suited to handling,” explained Carney as he approved the Liberal Party’s new run of ‘Elbows Medium I Suppose’ merch. “Fortunately Canadians won’t have time to blame me as they spend upwards of 10 hours a day scouring job posting websites for new postings.”
“14 hours, if someone is applying for the kind of low wage jobs we’ve allowed Canadian Corporations to fill with Temporary Foreign Workers instead of paying a livable wage,” Carney added.
As someone who was unemployed until recently, all I can say to this is: Fuck Trump and those bullshit tariffs he unilaterally imposed. I was laid off the day they first came into effect, and their impact made finding a job in what used to be a very active sector of the economy a nearly six month ordeal.
I don't blame companies for adjusting to economic adversity and changing regulatory landscapes, nor do I personally blame Carney or the Liberals for not rolling out stimulus packages in that constantly changing and shifting landscape. I'm happy they are doing this now of course, but let's not forget that the sole culprit of this nonsense is that bloated orange wannabe dictator in Washington.
Why don't you blame the companies? If they had paid you a fair wage this whole time, you'd be better off. If profit maximization wasn't their imperative, they wouldn't make decisions by quarterly disruptions.
Why not blame the Liberals? They have resisted expansion of social welfare policies like UBI which would allow you more leverage in negotiating with these companies in the first place and would have lessened the blow of losing that job now. They've ran on election reform multiple times and abandoned it.
Trump is the sole culprit? Why hasn't anyone in his cabinet stopped him then? Why hasn't Congress or the Senate or Supreme Court stopped him?
It's time Canadians recognize that systemic change is necessary. Even if individuals could be solely responsible for this, we shouldn't live in a system where that is possible. Maybe Canada should have never been subject to the whims of one man in the metropole and maybe YOU should never be materially insecure in one of the wealthiest states on the planet.
Why don’t you blame the companies

Really fucking miss Trudeau. Got a feeling he is going to be the high point of the next 20 years unless we get some election reform stat.
2015 will be the last federal election under first-past-the-post!
— Justin Trudeau
(I don't disagree with your comment, I just think it says more about the sorry state of things than it does Trudeau.)
No, we agree. One of the biggest failures of the Trudeau government was not getting rid of first past the post.
Isn't the Beaverton supposed to be a satire website?
Too much idiocracy makes the satirical become the new objective news.
