Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
That’s contributing to a soaring rate of youth unemployment. Two years ago, the jobless rate for people 15 to 24 years old was a little over 9%. Now it’s 14.2% — the highest level in more than a decade outside of the Covid-19 pandemic.
For younger immigrants — those who’ve landed in Canada in the past five years — the unemployment rate is around 23%.
An analysis of government data by Bloomberg News shows explosive growth in the number of temporary foreign workers in food and retail over the past five years. The number of them approved to work in those two sectors jumped 211% between 2019 and 2023.
Keep in mind, these programs have to actively prove there is no Canadian citizen available to fill these positions..
Even if “Canadian” people didn’t want to do these shit jobs, how about force a tims etc. to raise their wages as opposed to hiring TFW?
This is fucking gross.

Robbing the TFW of any standard of living, while robbing our youth of opportunity to gain experience. Why are Canadians still supporting these shit corporations? Seriously, Tim Horton's isn't good or cheap.
Tim Horton's sucks, and these small towns certainly don't need 3-4 of them.
The problem is that they cater to a certain demographic -- blue collar workers that want a cheap caffeine fix, preferably from a drive through, open early or late hours.
There is no independent type of coffee shop that can compete with that. Most charge crazy prices for a coffee, don't have the real estate footprint to carry a drive through, and have shitty hours in which they're open.
Franchise models like Tim’s and Subway literally drive out small business. Stop giving out business licenses to all these places that drive the TFW abuse and maybe you’d curb it a bit.
However, then you get into the veiled TFW abuse through companies like Telus etc. who hire contractors, who then contract out that work to a wage slave. It’s far enough out of reach that the companies aren’t held responsible

These kind of jobs were never really meant for anyone to earn a living. They're supposed to be for little Jimmy's first job so he can buy his first beater car and pay his way through college.
But what do you do when kids these days don't want to work and just want to be an Instagram influencer?

Edit:
The Conservative Party HQ page has just deleted their video that featured Soviet jets, and stock footage from America, Europe, and other countries, which was being misrepresented as Canadian.
Before even watching the subtitle video I was laughing at the family gathering to celebrate a kid's recovery from drug addiction and sobriety? What???? Nevermind they're drinking wine lol
Honda, you're oddly quiet about PP's dumpsterfest of a video.
How do you feel how the Cons, the kings of outsourcing, can't even avoid outsourcing their own shitty campaign video? Stock footage of Russian planes? They have more in common with the Republicans than we thought.
I think that video encapsulates exactly what the Conservative Party of Canada represents, nothing, hollow, they stand for nothing, down to their poorly put together and non-vetted campaign ads. This is basic stuff they can't even get right, how is this loser going to run the country?
It's pretty atrocious I'd say, and validates just how fake people think PP is.

Everyone is trash, never once said I’ve liked him but all in all unless you spend a dedicated few minutes picking the video apart like manic obviously did it’s a bit of a nothing burger.. PP is just about as big of a clown as Turd
Anyone but Trudeau baby.. put more money in my pockets and I don’t care about the illusion of they care one way or another about anything. The liberals certainly don’t.
Look at pillar issues the liberals campaigned on from the beggining, they have all been epic failures.
As ive said before, for most people middle class or better, anything is better than what we currently have, and as a result, you vote that way.

A guy who said he was a rep for longshoremen called into the radio yesterday and said the vast majority of his colleagues who, historically have voted NDP because they are “for labour” are now all moving to conservative due to the reality that the NDP no longer supports unions etc.
NDP will likely have some of their worst results in the upcoming election as they are the primary reason the libs maintained power, while at the same time, almost accomplishing nothing they based their partnership on

Wow those guys are morons.
The Cons' policy document literally says they are in support of Right to Work laws, which as seen USA states where they exist, to absolutely decimate unions' barganing power.
"We baselessly think Party X isn't "for unions" anymore, so we're going to vote for Party Y who has expressed literal anti union policies".

Good logic!
Don’t get it twisted, the current rendition of this NDP has been -terrible- for organized labour.
This isn’t Jack Layton etc. or previous eras that legitimately supported unionized workers, there have been numerous examples where the NDP all but abandoned some of the strongest unions in this country (rail, longshore, etc)
It’s like everything else in this country, when things are the worst they’ve ever been, you vote for anything different.
Steelworkers had some fucking clown with the gall to say “I’m going to talk to Jagmeet and get him on board with the Telus plight!” I straight up told this clown in front of 200+ people that you’re a fool if you think this guy is going to even mention your cause. And surprise surprise! They didn’t do shit, they couldn’t even pull together their anti-scab legislation, and the Telus workforce got decimated.
Also you say the cons support right to work legislation so they are the bad guy, the fucking liberals and NDP have done nothing but force return to work acts on the biggest, most powerful unions lol.. so what’s the difference?
