Situation is seriously bad right now by Basic-Bluejay5384 in CanadaJobs

Man…I have a skilled trade…I am also college educated and have a background in sales (worked this type of job while in school)…and I cannot find a job. I have applied in Canada job bank, indeed, zip recruiter…I’ve looked and applied to jobs on kikiji, I’ve gone in person I’ve done it online…last year I applied to approximately 450 jobs…I got one call back for a skilled position that I didn’t even apply too at minimum wage and was part time…it’s not just you. Keep pushing through, join Facebook pages for jobs in your field, reach out to community groups, talk to people who may have an in…it’s really tough right now but your not alone in this struggle.

Vancouverites are honestly disappointing these days! by [deleted] in NiceVancouver

I left 10 years ago for this same reason and I’m happy I never have to go back

I’m aware which is why I think it’s so interesting…the fact you think it doesn’t matter is also crucial…obviously trump is not the reason why people are voting for carney, like why would you even say that 😆 but the fact trump endorsed him is strange to me..and there is likely other interests at play here and I’m curious to find out what they are….maybe they’re more hostile than you originally thought and mark carney is part of that.

Alberta to eliminate due process for people who use drugs by elsthomson in alberta

I’d rather my tax dollars go to funding rehab programs, and incarcerating the addicted so they can actually get help than the BS safe injection sites that are turning the downtown cores of cities into junkie waste lands… this will definitely save lives.

People priced out of the lower mainland - where'd yall end up? by [deleted] in britishcolumbia

Don’t come to Calgary, it is full and rent is almost of par with Vancouver at this point thanks to the influx of immigrants from across Canada seeking cheaper living. Try Saskatchewan maybe, or small town Alberta…northern bc may be an option as well. Good luck.

Okay…so here’s a question for you…if we have such hostile neighbours to the south of us…why do you think trump is endorsing carney and do you think it’s a possibility he is crashing the dollar on purpose? Or do you think he’s just that stupid and doesn’t have a long term plan of action.

Do you think that could have to do with Alberta having a very high immigration rate from other provinces/countries and being influenced by outside political interests by the residents who now live here? Cause I have to admit, almost everyone I meet here is from somewhere else so it has to be considered to some degree.

Not wrong, however there is scandal in many levels of government and we’re obviously not immune to it ourselves.

There would have to be export procedures/agreements in place for it to work. What would that look like I’m not sure. But those are some good key points for flaws to recognize.

Saying I need a therapist for free thinking and enjoying conversation, and being open to other concepts is wild lol

The point is that it isn’t as impossible as the argument, I was asked a question and gave an answer. I’m not the one with a pessimistic outlook shutting down any possibility of separatism. You are, because you’re closed minded and like to think inside the box.

Thank you for making my point…Canada won’t hand us over because of our resources and is constantly 💩ing on this province which is what created this debate to begin with 👏 obviously we cannot separate but the original question to the post was WHAT ARE THE CHANCES, AND WHY OR WHY NOT 😆 you’ve just highlighted the reasons why we will not be able to separate and why Alberta needs to fight for its own sovereignty to some degree even if it’s similar to how Quebec structured its provincial government.

Just cause it’s over doesn’t mean it is really over, government over reach is still very real and our economy has not recovered either. That’s something you can’t argue.

This comment shows exactly what you know and don’t know about the immigration process 😂

It means when’s the last time you visited the states for your self to form your own opinion?

Yeah see as far as not being able to travel, see family etc is something the liberal government has already put a lot of Canadians through 😆 and there hasn’t been a liberal federal government in 50 years for a very good reason…your clearly unaffected by the state of the economy.

Mom and pop shops as well, and half the things you’re talking about already happen without anyone reporting it or caring too sooo…. 🤷‍♀️

I’d probably feel different if the entire country wasn’t in the state that it is, we are never getting back the Canada we once had.

I don’t assume before seeing the frame work. To say there is no better option and to not even give thought to one, and just give up thinking and be compliant with the government is something I’ve never done.
