“These numbers can partly be blamed on the Trump tariffs, which I campaigned on being uniquely suited to handling,” explained Carney as he approved the Liberal Party’s new run of ‘Elbows Medium I Suppose’ merch. “Fortunately Canadians won’t have time to blame me as they spend upwards of 10 hours a day scouring job posting websites for new postings.”
“14 hours, if someone is applying for the kind of low wage jobs we’ve allowed Canadian Corporations to fill with Temporary Foreign Workers instead of paying a livable wage,” Carney added.

As someone who was unemployed until recently, all I can say to this is: Fuck Trump and those bullshit tariffs he unilaterally imposed. I was laid off the day they first came into effect, and their impact made finding a job in what used to be a very active sector of the economy a nearly six month ordeal.
I don't blame companies for adjusting to economic adversity and changing regulatory landscapes, nor do I personally blame Carney or the Liberals for not rolling out stimulus packages in that constantly changing and shifting landscape. I'm happy they are doing this now of course, but let's not forget that the sole culprit of this nonsense is that bloated orange wannabe dictator in Washington.
Why don't you blame the companies? If they had paid you a fair wage this whole time, you'd be better off. If profit maximization wasn't their imperative, they wouldn't make decisions by quarterly disruptions.
Why not blame the Liberals? They have resisted expansion of social welfare policies like UBI which would allow you more leverage in negotiating with these companies in the first place and would have lessened the blow of losing that job now. They've ran on election reform multiple times and abandoned it.
Trump is the sole culprit? Why hasn't anyone in his cabinet stopped him then? Why hasn't Congress or the Senate or Supreme Court stopped him?
It's time Canadians recognize that systemic change is necessary. Even if individuals could be solely responsible for this, we shouldn't live in a system where that is possible. Maybe Canada should have never been subject to the whims of one man in the metropole and maybe YOU should never be materially insecure in one of the wealthiest states on the planet.
Why don’t you blame the companies
Stockholm syndrome
This has been going on for a long time, a decade or more. It's not the liberals, Trump, etc. Its more or less that we have a stagnant income growth issue where the cost of living has eclipsed what the average person makes. We've let these corporations concentrate at stupid levels, and we let them run roughshod over us. We do this because everyone's in debt, and managers know the level of control they have over us. Everyone is working multiple people's jobs, making do with nothing. No one innovates anymore. We reward nonsense, like the selling of shares to each other over and over again, meanwhile the underlying stock has no actual growth, it's all hypothetical. No one makes anything anymore. It's just shill shill shill.
It's just finally gotten to the point where it's starting to crack and blow up.
Really fucking miss Trudeau. Got a feeling he is going to be the high point of the next 20 years unless we get some election reform stat.
2015 will be the last federal election under first-past-the-post!
— Justin Trudeau
(I don't disagree with your comment, I just think it says more about the sorry state of things than it does Trudeau.)
No, we agree. One of the biggest failures of the Trudeau government was not getting rid of first past the post.
Isn't the Beaverton supposed to be a satire website?
Too much idiocracy makes the satirical become the new objective news.
