Edit: I forgot unions and labour protection in immediate impact.
A ton of competition and local universities are freaking out over the loss of international students money with the federal changes.
Have you tried looking at various operations/analyst type roles in Toronto outside your usual search? You'd probably do decently well in those roles. Even project management.
The Canadian conservatives are in bed with the AfD. They hang out. https://newsie.social/@LALegault/111797431037370877
One of the people in that photo is Leslyn Lewis, who ran for the leadership of the federal conservative party the last time around and was touted as "a moderate". Hahaha.
Get paid to*. This is labour and we're all exploited.
Companies like this often hire external consultants to do the layoffs. They literally have no skin in the game.
The Toronto horse cops carried around trading cards for their horses as a part of a PR campaign. Ask a cop for one!
Just another way for you to be disappointed by the police. Can't even do PR right.
Yellowknife has had a housing crisis for decades. Bad choice.
If every single Canadian had to swear allegiance to the king when you become an adult (as opposed to just immigrants), we would not have a king.
I dread the day I need to take care of my parents to that degree. Parents in the burbs, neither of the kids drive. It's at least transitable and my parents were decent people. There's still trauma but it's healing.
Still, how do you balance work to pay rent with the need to care for ailing loved ones? Something's going to give when the boomers start becoming disabled en masse.
When we start talking to each other again without paid influence.
The troubles facing us all, middle class and below, are the same troubles. We need to practice working together locally to build something bigger before major movements are likely to work out. How do we rebuild community nonprofit hubs?
You need one of those toddler leash backpacks.
Are you a cheapskate or easily motivated by money? Set yourself a modest junk food budget for a month and track your spending. Set a financial reward for yourself (buy something you want) when you hit that target. Then set a lower target and a longer term reward. Forgive yourself if you go over, and don't give up.
Junk food is so expensive now that you'll blow through that budget in no time. Realizing how much this addiction costs you (like weed, smoking, drinking, gambling, etc) is often a great way to make the decision to kick the habit. Even if you can't stay within the budget, keep tracking your spending. The goal is to reduce if stopping cold turkey isn't your thing.
If this isn't for you, what everyone else said might work too.
Does this not say it all? "The report estimates that students from India alone will provide Ontario colleges with $2 billion in operating revenue for the 2023-2024 school year. That's slightly more than those colleges receive from the provincial government."
