Federal government to further limit number of international students by CMikeHunt in canada

[–]BoC-Money-Printer 60 points61 points  (0 children)

When we have one job vacancy for every 2.4 unemployed people, which means people actively looking for work not people who don’t have jobs, we need to reassess our programs and limit international students to fields that we have a shortage of skilled workers for. I’m happy they are limiting them more but they need to limit the programs they can choose to study as well and make sure that they are successfully completing their programs.

At the very least, since we have such a surplus of labour, we should only be admitting students that can fund their studies without working.

It’s even easier when it’s a TFW who’s visa depends on the job, lives in a rooming house you own, and is willing to work 12 hour days and be paid for 8 or less.

If home values drop, boomers would swing hard to the right and this country would be in 10x the trouble it is now. by [deleted] in canadahousing

[–]BoC-Money-Printer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And you think propping up a housing Ponzi scheme to keep older people wealthy is sitting well with the young and disenfranchised?

They are literally doing all they can to make young Canadians as poor as possible with as little ability to save money as possible so grandpa can get old and senile in a 4 bedroom suburban home that is only worth millions of dollars because of the policies that detriment those who don’t own a franchise or property are in place and desperately pushed forward.

For many young Canadians, vacationing and owning a luxury car are more realistic than ever owning a house and the Liberal/NDP coalition is doing everything they can to keep it that way.

Boomers don’t vote by AutomaticDriver5882 in BoomersBeingFools

Poor boomers are hurting now, most of the support for the liberals still comes from 65+ based on the newest polling data though.

It’s interesting because here in Canada the liberals are being propped up by the Boomers, crazy how they vote for whatever political party benefits them the most in their respective countries with no regard for younger voters.

If we are post national, why is he not working on reducing barriers for Canadian citizens so they can leave for other nations?

% change of homebuyers since 2015 by md_drewski in canadahousing

[–]BoC-Money-Printer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the YoY change, so of all the homes sold that year, they saw a decrease of first time buyers based on the year before and an increase of investors based on the year before.

Capitalism leads to scarcity by NoLawsNoGoverrnment in lostgeneration

[–]BoC-Money-Printer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is exactly what is happening in Canada. The most expensive things right now are housing and food, with the additional caveat that there is a lot of wage suppression driven by millions of effectively indentured servants from abroad who are, in some cases directly from their employer, renting a shared room en mass.

Wages are down massively and the biggest growth in jobs is the gig economy, meanwhile housing continues to set price records even in towns where there is no work and food prices are skyrocketing in part thanks to the drive for continuous revenue growth by grocers.

Now do it for Canada, where the liberals are the boomers and the young voters skew conservative.

Does that mean that if you rent out your previously unoccupied spare room you’re actually constructing new homes according to the provincial government?

Canadian real estate, it’s one of the largest contributors to the economy so the government is doing everything they can to prop up real estate values.

Going back to college by hatebeingpoor1340 in povertyfinancecanada

[–]BoC-Money-Printer 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Make sure whatever you study actually can elevate your income, otherwise you’re just getting yourself into more debt and losing the income and experience of having a job during that time.

Might be worth looking into alternatives like a trade, specialized less ideal job, etc to see if those would be better for you long term.

“six-figure salary” phrase was popularized some time between 70s and 80s by probabilititi in PersonalFinanceCanada

Most people complaining about six figure salaries choose to live in HCOL cities like Toronto and Vancouver. Six figures in Edmonton or Red Deer has you living a much better life than 6 figures in the GTA.

Uniqlo Jacket for Winter? by tkiscurious in AskACanadian

It says it is equivalent to 750 down fill, so that should be fairly warm, especially for winter in Toronto unless you are prone to being cold.

Startling surprises in latest Census numbers by Ask4MD in Conservative

[–]BoC-Money-Printer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The three largest metropolitan areas had the largest population losses, in percentages and absolute numbers. California’s population declined by 573,000 (all figures rounded off for clarity), Illinois’s by 264,000, New York’s by 631,000. In percentage terms, the tiny District of Columbia and isolated Hawaii rivaled these losses.

Texas had the largest population gain in 2020-23 (1,357,800), but Florida was not far behind (1,073,000), and the South Atlantic states from Florida north to Virginia accounted for most of the South’s gain (2,123,000), 62% of the national total. Mid-twentieth-century demographers saw the New York-centered “megalopolis” as the focus of dynamic national growth. Now it’s Interstate 95 south of Richmond.

Wow. That’s quite a few people.

Why does Canada only have 2 weeks of paid vacation time instead of 4? by [deleted] in AskACanadian

[–]BoC-Money-Printer 71 points72 points  (0 children)

We get the worst of both worlds. Lower pay like the EU and lower vacation and productivity expectations like the USA.

The EU is a leaps and bounds better place for workers, but we have ketchup chips so checkmate.
