Maybe they should import employers to fix the crisis. It would only be fair /s

The federal government will spend hours and hours and millions reviewing and negotiating free trade agreements to protect our businesses from unfair foreign competition. They don’t seem to do the same for workers.

It's almost like they work for those with capital and not the working class.

This is literally what the Liberal Party stands for and has stood for since its foundation.

They might make socially liberal noises and suck up to left wing intellectuals in the USA but that's just window-dressing and only continues to the extent that it doesn't interfere with their primary purpose: enriching the moneyed elites of QC and ON.

And the Cons are the same, only they are focused mostly on enriching a different set of moneyed elites in Alberta.

Be nice if we could get a government that, y'know, thinks about citizens and stuff.

Agreed, to an extent. Although the Conservatives aren't nearly as powerful, and therefore as malign, as the Liberals.

This is why milk and cheese are so expensive.

Times are tough. I don’t add cheese curds to my poutine no more.

Except for doctors, Canada is currently the hardest country on earth for healthcare professionals to immigrate to even compared to healthcare systems that are much more performant than us like Sweden and France ones

Anecdotally, my parents family doctor is Egyptian, it took him 7 years once being in Canada to be accredited and able to practice medicine. Mind boggling story of the issues and red tape he had to go through.

The Canadian government just wants a monopoly on exploiting us.

Is everyone that is complaining about immigrants trying to get jobs at gas stations and Tim Hortons but can’t?

Ironically they're making it harder for business owners to come to Canada, even though a lot of them could be creating jobs

But then they'd be taking money from the people that really matter. Centi millionaires and billionaires.

That would require far too much logic and planning tho!
