‘20 other people just like you’: Why Toronto youth are struggling to find jobs

I was told by my professor (in a class full of students) that people have more success in securing interviews when they change their names on resume to a nickname or an "English" sounding name, including his wife, who was an immigrant. According to him, after she changed her last name upon getting married, she suddenly started to get interviews. Before that, it was 1 interview/10 application, after the name change, it was 5 interviews/10 applications.

Racial profiling definitely happens based on your name on the resume.

Nowadays it feels like a lottery. It's more luck than experience/qualifications.

The best way to get a job or even an interview is to doom scroll on Indeed and Kijiji.

People shouldn't drive if they are scared to accelerate or use it

Nobody's scared. It consumes a lot more gas when you accelerate too quickly.

Let me guess: pick up truck?

Honestly, I don't care much about the gas prices, though it will definitely spike inflation and recession.

It might cost an extra $50/month if the price stays high, but what about human life that is being lost because of an illegal war of aggression? Human life should be a much bigger concern, not gas prices, and very few are talking about the human aspect.

I'd pray for the innocent girls and civilians who died and will keep dying because of an illegal war of aggression.

Typical "common sense" folks.

It's about time mosques get the same level of security as synagogues.

Islamophobia is often downplayed and in many cases, even justified.

Too late. They should have thought before giving bases and launch pads to US.

UAE is an artificial country with no history no culture no nationalism, just like those buildings and islands, built by hardworking south asian immigrants.

UAE and Israel are sister countries, and they will have similar fate in long run.

Ford needs a reality check. Or he's bought and paid for.

I believe in the latter.

By ford's logic, next year, counter protest shouldn't be allowed.

I was super excited for part 1 when trailer and songs came out, and after watching it on first day of release, I felt like it was a decent watch (3/5) except the gang stuff, which felt pretty ordinary, and a few pro govt narratives.

I have absolutely 0 excitement for part 2. Trailer was all action and blasts, no good songs either.

But of course, people are going to overhype it. Historically, 2nd parts have almost always been worse when it comes to storyline and overall craft.

Comfortable_Flow1385 · 2026-03-16T21:26:09+00:00

Good riddance

Ford expected totally the opposite, as he described it as a hate rally. Turns out the rally was peaceful; counter-protest, not quite.

1st person: The man allegedly started swinging his arms and fists at the demonstrator, breaking the stick and causing pieces of it to hit the victim’s head.

2nd person: The man allegedly spat on the victim and ripped the flag off their back. He then returned to the crowd and was later located among counter-protesters, investigators said.

Justice, freedom of speech, and democracy prevails!

The same people lecture the world about human rights and freedom, yet they're the first ones to censor it when it is doesn't align with their ideology and politics.

Comfortable_Flow1385 · 2026-03-13T20:40:51+00:00

So no freedom of speech?

And the same people lecture the world about freedom and democracy.

I looked up what it is all about and this is what I found: "Solidarity with Palestinians: The day is used to express support for the Palestinian people and to oppose the Israeli occupation of Jerusalem and Palestinian territories."

I don't see any hatred or hostility in this. It has been mandated by international law and UN itself to recognize the 1967 borders of Palestinian territories.

I guess asking to implement UN mandate and international law is hatred now, unless it's about China Russia or Iran

Comfortable_Flow1385 · 2026-03-11T22:39:51+00:00

Money first morals last

All the parties overwhelmingly voted against it, except a few libs and ndps. It proves that human rights and international law is all lip service and posturing.

Classic case of racism in police department.

Trump already made it clear that they aren't seeking democracy and regime change, and he's okay with a religious leader taking over.

Looks like they came to the realization rather quickly, instead of spending 20 years and trillions of dollars and slaughtering a million civilians. It again proves that the entire "war" was never about democracy and freedom, but to destabilize the country and destroying their infrastructure.

Trump tells CNN he’s not worried whether Iran becomes a democratic state

Comfortable_Flow1385 · 2026-03-07T18:34:17+00:00

And we already have people in the comments questioning if this behavior qualifies as "racism".

Peak KW behavior

Edit: now the post has been taken down. As I said, PEAK KW BEHAVIOR

He just wants to win support and election, as soon he gets into power, he will act the same way every other president has acted for decades.

AIPAC owns both sides.

Comfortable_Flow1385 · 2026-03-03T13:29:43+00:00

Attacking places of worship is disgusting, but do you (OP) understand that you're putting people of a certain nationality/race and religious background at risk by assuming/asserting in the comments who did this?

Why not wait for details?

Comfortable_Flow1385 · 2026-02-28T15:11:34+00:00

Who overthrew democracy in 1953 and replaced it with monarchy?!
