The "LOLCANADA" thread...again
So what's new?
I've noticed the Liberals are now ahead in all major polls and Trudeau hasn't even started to campaign yet...i'd be shocked if they lost the election now.
Just shows just how incompetent Conservatives are.
Another cabinet meeting for Justin . Saw a pic has to be one of the biggest cabinets ever
Already announcing big cuts to temporary foreign workers. While I applaud Trudeau in the post pandemic period with huge crunch needing workers in a swath of industries and was great it was expanded, it’s been clear the pendulum is swinging back and the asset turning into a liability. Really appreciate having a government that is responsive to changing economic times and not myopic.
GREAT JOB TRUDEAU!!!!
More proof Trudeau is a climate phony by putting 100% tariffs on Chinese electric cars because the Chinese government subsidizes them. Hey Justin your doing the same thing with these battery plants
If you want everyone to drive an electric car than these Chinese cars may have to be an option
Canada with our integrated economy with the US of course has very little choice but to follow the American lead on chinese tarrifs. And with our large automotive industry and substantial investments on both side of the boarder to create a world class electric vehicle industry, having it killed off by a swamp of chinese-government-over-supplied EVs designed for the purpose of killing north american industry would be bad for Canada and ultimately bad for the electrification project generally.
Some people (lozen???) are so shortsighted on climate change they can't understand the only slightly counterintuitive idea that protecting our own EV industry is ultimately good for improving our long term EV prospects and instead think we should kill off canadian auto industry in service of short term climate change goals. I'm not one of them. I'm a pragmatist.
GREAT JOB TRUDEAU.
Ye let's cut temporary workers visa, ie people which the economy actually needs, for whom there is actual demand and occupation, and let's keep unfiltered "refugees" coming with no checks
The economy doesn't need them. Nor are they what you would say ''temporary''. The cut has come too late, they need to send about 1-2 million of them back.
for whom there is actual demand and occupation,
There isn't. There was at some point, then Canada decided to bring in millions of Indians and no 16 year old kids can't find summer jobs.
**** Trudeau and **** UKE.
After the pandemic there absolutely were a whole swath of industries that were really, really, really struggling to find workers Agriculture, fish processing, construction, etc. The TFW program isn't just a wide open letting in people, it's specific companies with specific needs sponsoring people.
You guys miss the right criticism of the program. The other option when not doing doing like TFW (which provides people but suppresses wages) is companies have to raise wages to get workers. Some will fail. And it will contribute to inflation (remember Canada did better than most in the g7 when it came to inflation, well one piece of that was keeping low wage jobs low wage via TFW).
Except for the pandemic itself, Trudeau has driven youth unemployment down with 2022 the lowest number in two decades.
Facts > partisanship.

So hm immigration does decrease wages of the natives? that's quite the claim from the left, they usually deny it in the strongest possible terms and call any such claim populist and racist

Of course you fail to mention 2024
You suck Trudeau
Unemployment among young people has risen in the past year. From April 2023 to April 2024, the unemployment rate among youth aged 15 to 24 increased 2.9 percentage points to 12.8%. This marked the highest unemployment rate for youth since July 2016, excluding 2020 and 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It’s 2024. But good try.
Lol, I'm sorry my annual chart over the last two decades GASP hasn't included 2024 yet since it is half way through 2024. Great job guys at sussing out that huge conspiracy theory to distort facts!!!
Of course, Betraisefold's point was - and remains - rather terrible whether you add the intra-year numbers or not.
Actually fighting inflation by raising interest rates , cost of capital, will obviously cost jobs and the first to go are the weakest and youngest.
That is what fighting inflation and slowing the economy is about .
You guys can’t blame both side (inflation and jobs loss) at the same time ….
Yes immigration rate was too high .
The lack of public services Accessibility will intensify for couple years for sure then it will resolve itself .
The amount of nurses and teachers missing in Quebec for example have dramatically increase this year.
Let's zoom out a bit and learn some basic macro. After the pandemic, one of the challenges to the Canadian economy was a real crunch in a bunch of industries struggling to find workers. One consequence of that was record low unemployment - and youth unemployment in 2022/2023. This also contributes to rising wages, rising inflation. Because of these labour supply challenges, the TFW expansion made a lot of sense. It filled those low-wage undesirable jobs like those in agriculture that are hard to fill (keeping Canada's GDP high, keeping Canada's inflation low rel to g7). However, as the economic times shift, the "costs" in terms of housing/employment are starting to rise and so I think the government is ALSO right to reign TFW back in. One can certainly debate the exact timing, the exact amounts etc, but here the government is at least to a first approximation responding appropriately to the different challenges it faces.

Nope. Betraisefold's point was totally legitimate. Just because the government has finally started to reign in TFW doesn't mean they're not about 3 million Indians too late.
Obviously your view is different because lets face it, you don't live on planet earth. You're from Narnia, where men can have babies.

Ehh what now? Resolve itself? In a couple of years?
You smoking that Montreal ganja?

This is a weird post. It's weird to refer to yourself in the 3rd person. It's weird to repeatedly focus on india, when mexico is the origin country of almost twice as many TFW workers (and India only a bit ahead of other countries like the Philippines - it's a pretty diverse program. It's weird because 3 million is just way ****ing off - there were about 180k temporary foreign workers admitted in 2023.
And it is REALLY weird that you keep trying to shove trans issues rather stupidly into completely unrelated posts.
Weird.
Well, a global inflation crisis happened in the last two years, remember? One which Canada actually faired quite a bit better than the g7 with lower rates and dropping them down faster. But yes, those higher inflation rates will put small downward pressure on things like employment - as they are designed to do. So far at least it is looking like Canada is doing well with the "soft landing". Nevertheless, if one zooms out to the 20 year chart that I shared (even if lololololol it iddn't have the last partial year on it lololololol conspiracy!!!) you'll see even your own metric of youth unemployment doing pretty reasonable by historic standards despite the "quite rapid downhill" descent you are complaining about.

Conspiracy theories? Just the facts . We've had a full season of youth unemployment's as many yout's seek employment when school ends
I think he is saying your lying about this as you regularly lie about men getting pregnant and needing tampons though we could add in the big lie Justin cares about climate change .

You just keep pretending TFW workers are the only form of immigration we've had buddy. Keep that head in the sand.

Any chance I get to show your hypocrisy I'll take.

Let me get this right. The "lie" was that I posted a 20 year plot that went up to 2023 because - OBVIOUSLY - 2024 is not done yet and so the plot is not updated? And that if one does look halfway through 2024 the numbers are STILL totally reasonable on that 20 year plot? That is a "lie"????
Get a grip you guys. And do try to keep the denial that trans people exist to the trans thread.

I'm following your lead. You quoted TFW and nothing so that was how I responded and you've yet said about that program has been even close to accurate. You seem awfully concerned about Indians in Canada. Hmmmm.
And lol at thinking trans people exist is "hypocrisy". Maybe try to contain your transphobia to the trans thread from now on out.

Yes. I'm racist. Isn't that obvious? I condemn the leaders of this country for how they've destroyed this country by bringing in low quality immigrants by the millions, yes from India so logically I am racist, which is what you are implying right?
Just like I am a transphobe for saying MEN can NOT get pregnant.
I don't know what you are. I just see you getting bad at indians and something to do with TFW when mexicans are almost double indians in that program. Ignorance. Racism. Who knows.
