  1. we all know it aint about job’s …they don’t want job’s, they want the money those job’s produce and that’s it spoiled litte f#cks.

  2. These people don’t want jobs. Are you crazy. The only calluses they have on their hands are from jerking not working.

  3. But those are all actual, you know, jobs. And if you get a job you end up making money and paying taxes and before you know it you’re part of the productive class – the evil 1%!!
    Besides, there are no listings for jobs requiring a major in social justice and community organizing, and a minor in puppetry.

  4. Naw Robert, those jobs you have to -do- stuff, maybe even get dirty. That’s not a good life, y’know.
    What the Just Show Up crowd wants is a job where you just show up and the CBC/other government agency gives you $100k to start. Plus a car, that would be nice. Oh and a corner office. And a sexetary… blonde with big knockers please.
    Because they worked hard in school, man! They deserve it!

  5. Rio Tinto and other mining and exploration companies need hard working qualified people.
    Not whining children who haven’t worked a real day in their life. These people want 100k a year to do nothing and think CEOs should make the same for doing a highly demanding job.
    They’re communist idiots. Not much else to say other than that.

  6. Hmmm too bad its too cold now to leave the underground sprinklers operational. It would be too bad if they accidentally were left on overnight.

  7. They don’t even have to leave Toronto. Two weeks ago the National Post ran an article on the resurgent film industry in Toronto. I believe it was Pinewood Toronto Studios that was having a difficult time finding carpenters and painters for the sets. The pay – $25 per hour.
    Then again, it’s much easier to camp and whine in St. James Park.

  8. I doubt any of them really want jobs. Weren’t there several stories revealing some of the Occupiers as wealthy trust-fund kids, anyway?
    The reality is: People who are poor (like these people claim to be) are out earning a living, not camping in a park in NYC.

  9. Woman found dead at Gregor’s Squat in Vancouver.
    Mayor Moonbeam says he thinks he might have to do something soon or like next week or maybe later because things are starting to get serious.
    She was found dead just as the band Dead on Arrival started to play a free concert to entertain the Squatties.
    DOA . . . no irony there.

  10. Small town Alberta oilpatch. Not a home of any kind or any hotel room for rent. There are endless service jobs filled by Philipinos or Mexicans on work visas. There are even safety jobs where all you do is sit in a pickup and watch people work. There’s a boom out in the bush despite any doom and gloom you may hear. Unemployment is a matter of choice.
    I know guys who flew truckers out from the East, paid them $30 an hour with tons of overtime. When they get together a good run of pogey, they’re gone.

  11. There are even safety jobs where all you do is sit in a pickup and watch people work.
    Yes, all kinds of parasite jobs that wouldn’t exist absent gov’t mandates. Should be perfect for the occupiers.

  12. Come on Robert, you are being ridiculous. You wouldn’t expect these occupods to actually work doing something productive for a living.
    The economy actually struggles when the unemployable become employed.

  13. Robert:
    Does not have a nice map but similar idea.

    “Suncor, too, has been moving aggressively to meet the demand for talented, skilled people. In 2012, we have plans to add more than 1,000 new positions to our more than 12,000-employee complement. Of the new positions, we expect nearly 15 percent to be in the engineering realm and about 10 percent to be trades and technical positions.”

  14. The Alberta Caterpillar dealer pays a $3000.00 bounty for any employee who finds them a HD mechanic or partsman.

  15. I go into industrial areas, duh…I drive truck…and I see lots of help wanted signs for CNC and other hands on stuff.
    Oh…a Masters in Monkeybuggery 101 isn’t quite the hands on training one needs to pay the bills.

  16. My stepson-in-law, who is a second on an oil rig in the Gulf, tells me that “Rigzone” carries almost as many jobs in St. John’s as in Calgary these days.
    Business is booming! Booming in real work – a booming financial sector is not usually a good thing.
    The financial sector enables other economic activity but it can be very parasitic.

  17. Northern BC, Tumbler Ridge area has a huge amount of good paying jobs they can not find workers for.

  18. They do have very important positions, they are TAKERS they can’t be workers or givers they are TAKERS and SHARERS of everything other people proudly work for.
    This has been building for a long time The people who proudly work for what they have and want are having to work harder and longer to pay more and more taxes and fees that go to providing for the able bodies who wont work to better themselves and those around them.

  19. Here’s the crux of the matter though.
    The Mockuppyers have a moral crisis. They have been raised on unicorns and rainbows, entitlements and “a ribbon for showing up!”.
    It’s wonderful seeing the job boom in Saskabush, great thing, but, those jobs are in direct conflict with the Mock crowd. All those jobs are destroying Mother Gaia one way or the other. They have been raised on the fantasies of Suzuki and Gore. There are no Starbucks on every corner, to lounge in for hours at a time, solving the problems of the world. It’s too cold, and there’s not enough of their female variety to hook up with.
    Their real moral dilemna, and wakeup call, is the realization that there is no demand, and never has been, for wymyn’s studies, sociology, history, english lit, etc, etc.
    They should have done their homework before taking on all that debt. ZERO sympathy, nobody owes them.

  20. The comment about Monkeybuggery 101 is perhaps more accurate than Curious realises. A friend of mine, in software development, was also working on a Humanities degree (he thought it would broaden his knowledge of the human race, which it did, though not perhaps in the way he intended). He had trouble getting emails from the course program because so many of them had “sex” or sexual words in the email subject line. He told me that the bonobo, or miniature chimpanzee, was the favorite animal of his preceptors, because the bonobo has sex all the time, under all circumstances. As a greeting, as a pastime, before dinner, whatever. This his preceptors admired.

  21. Most of ’em aren’t employable. Northern B.C. is booming right now,but they need tradesmen,not fine arts students,or at least experienced labourers who are willing to work HARD for their pay.
    They need “government jobs”,and if the NDP can only get elected,I’m sure they’ll oblige by creating a new stimulus program to employ the poor dears.
    I have a young friend who had a choice,university or trade school,he opted for a seven month course in welding, accompanied by a lot of cheering from me.
    I bet he’ll have a good job lined up before he even graduates.

  22. Too busy for comments today, but again, paraphrasing the genius of LvM:
    * Absent government intervention in the economy there would be no involuntary unemployment. *
    (EI, minimum wages, legalized union violence, subsidized time-wasting at Indoctrination U, etc.)

  23. They’re just not qualified to do anything.
    Who would hire them? Would any of you hire one of these? Seriously, tell me. For what kind of work could they be hired?

  24. But dewwwd, work like sewwwww gets in the way of my like heroin habit!
    I guess all that smug self-righteousness will be some small comfort when they’re kicking the bucket from hepatitis in a welfare hotel.

  25. It’s a vicious cycle. There are currently far more people than there are jobs, largely due to government policies stifling opportunities for entrepreneurship, and continuing to borrow sufficient quantities of cash to practically guarantee crippling levels of taxation for decades to come.
    So the mob is busy feeding on itself. It votes itself more benefits, more of other peoples’ money, till they finally choke off the only thing that can give them a decent standard of living – a free and vibrant market economy. Then they start to riot, and eventually, we’ll need to send in the troops to put the rebellions down. And it all unravels when the troops won’t follow orders. The cure for what ails the left is unfortunately that which is most unpalatable to them – reality.
    Why I am NOT a democrat.
