Somewhat related to the non growth of new work in Canada:
I suppose the USA is “out of fresh talent” for new hires though… or Walmart wouldn’t be offering to pay college fees and related materials for employee’s contributions of $1.00/day (business degrees only) Yes I know it’s been covered here at SDA already.
John Batchelor often mentions that there are lots of jobs for American workers if they can pass a drug test, particularly in places like the Bakken in North Dakota.
Go figure.
This is what happens whenever anyone named Trudeau lives at 24 Sussex Drive. Canada’s most important export industry is put into recession, capital flows south, and the brain dead Eastern electorate succeed in destroying the only gainful employment prospects for Maritimers (in Alberta). During the first Trudeau disaster, Pierre’s arrogance and evil ego did it alone while now with his Spawn at the helm, the job must be done by two, the mentally incomplete elected PM and his guiding script writer, the green/leftist- zealot, and Ontario economy destroyer – Butts.
Actually Turdeau doesn’t live at 24 Sussex Drive, he lives at Rideau Cottage. I get a laugh out of the name. It has 22 rooms and 10,032 sq ft (932 m2). A Cottage?
Must have been a Butts idea to have Turdeau live here show that Justin is middle class and is not extravagant.
I would have thought that the Climate Crusader would have persuaded Turdeau to bulldoze 24 Sussex and build a small, modest home complete with solar panels and a windmill so Turdeau could practice what he preaches.
“Canadasplain to us again, O Holy Pundits, about why we in the West are supposed to rally behind our Loser Leader…”
Well said Kate. Well said indeed.
Canada, has never had any future. Dumont saw it, and we all should have got behind him when we had the chance.
But, the CBC public educated drones keep saying thing like “Canadians need to wake up”, which displays a truly epic level of delusion. I mean seriously; how can anyone, be so willfully ignorant, that they believe anyone who voted for a Liberal or NDP, could “wake up”?
There are people in Ontario, who voted Rae, McGuinty, Wynne, Trudeau 1, Trudeau 2… Could one of the people who keeps using the phrase “Canadians need to wake up”, please explain to me how it is you believe these people could?
“Canadasplain to us again, O Holy Pundits, about why we in the West are supposed to rally behind our Loser Leader…”
Exactly.
Meanwhile in Kanader.
“The overall drop in the number of jobs came as full-time jobs fell by 31,000, offset in part by a gain of 23,600 part-time positions. The loss of jobs came as the health care and social assistance sector lost 24,000 jobs, while the manufacturing sector lost 18,000. Employment in construction fell 13,000.”
Lost 24k in health services? Strange that… You would think that is one of the few growth industries with all the aging boomers.
I saw the breakdown of 18k, 13k and 24k was 24,000 more than 31,000, so I thought global may have had a typo in their report, but CBC had the same numbers, and then even statscanada had the same numbers.
Go figure.
Must be the queues for free health care have gotten too short so laying off healthcare workers is the right thing to do.
Healthcare is a bit of a luxury. If no one can afford to pay healthcare workers they have to find something else to do. They won’t work for nothing.
The bulge may be moving them past the prime need of healthcare into a slow decline in health at a seniors home. The beginning boomers are in their 80’s and the tail end such as me are reaching 60.
Well, to be honest, Kate, most of us here in “Ford Nation” country have been asking ourselves the same question for many, many years:
— Quebec has the aspiration for independence, but has no means to achieve that end;
whereas,
— Western Canada has the absolute means to achieve that end, but has no consensus on the aspiration.
Why stay in it, exactly?
On an emotional level, of course, there are many things I love about Canada — I don’t view the Trudeaus as part of it, to be brutally honest.
Time for a conversation.
If CA can SERIOUSLY talk about splitting into 3-States … then Ca. can easily divide into two nations … The middle and the other ends.
And there’s Kenji again, hijacking the thread as usual.
I love Canada. But Canadians, not so much. They can elect Stephen Harper, but they are on their second PM Trudeau.
I have an idea: we can appoint AllanS for PM and have Andrew negotiate our trade deals with Trump. That’ll show him!
The US is booming and we are happily going down the drain.
The US is not ‘booming’. They still have mediocre GDP growth. A worker shortage exacerbates that.
Let’s see what Christa and Turdope can do to destroy what is left of the Canadian trade with the US. Trudy is an ignorant son a b*tch. He is DISHONEST AND WEAK!! And Canadians will suffer because of his DISHONESTY AND WEAKNESS!! VOTE OUT THE LIE BRALS 2019!!!
You are welcome Texas, and as long as BC stays BC, may you enjoy it for a long, long time.
This is actually a bad thing. Worker shortages mean crimped growth, and US growth continues to be subpar. Also, I would not be surprised at another oil shock. The conditions are eerily similar to the ‘taper tantrum’ of 2013 that led to the 2014 oil price collapse. Mild US monetary tightening and a less weak USD triggers shock implosion in countries with bad monetary policy.
