Canada unexpectedly sheds 9,400 jobs in June 2014 – I thought the dirty oil sands were creating jobs?
Good paying jobs are leaving Canada, minimum paying jobs are being outsourced in Canada and the Canadian housing market is BOOMING? How does that make any sense? In a previous post I stated the Canadian economy is going to look very WEIRD in the future because of the programs this conservative government has implemented.
The way I see it they’ve sold out Canadians. My initial assessment of the Conservative party was they were going to invest in Canadians via educational programs however this hasn’t been the case. Canada’s Economic Action Plan I thought was going to be an excellent way to get out of work Canadians back into the workforce without having to get neck deep into debt.
This is what I thought and I was wrong because as it’s been discovered Canada’s Economic Action Plan namely their skills training makes it very difficult for out of work Canadians to qualify for anything. Plus you must factor in the obvious JOBS ARE LEAVING CANADA and the good paying jobs like the ones in ALBERTA’S DIRTY OIL SANDS! are also being OUTSOURCED. Now I don’t know if you watched the FIFA WORLD CUP!!! But if you watched it on CBC there were a lot of ads promoting the Dirty Oil Sands of Alberta and how much jobs they’re creating and this and that.
I want Canadians to understand that the dirty oil sands only account for about 2% of the Canadian economy and it’s important for canadians to know that the Dirty Oil from these oil sands aren’t being refined here in Canada. The oil is taken from Canada right out of the country and sold back to us refined which is why GAS prices continue to rise. This conservative government and Stephen Harper is moving us backwards and he did this strategically.
He’s only helped the rich by cutting corporate taxes what I thought he would do is cut corporate income taxes and help get Canadians the training they need to match the economy he was creating instead he cut corporate income taxes and sold Canadians out to the banks!
Without a strong middle class Canada’s economy will stagnate and the thing that sickens me the most is that right now Canada could be on it’s way to be a global leader economically. The time could have been now but Stephen Harper squandered a perfectly good opportunity to grow Canada’s middle class and what I suspect will happen is the Liberal Government is going to take over and change the trajectory of the country they’ll invest in education however more than likely the price to be in business will go up which will also stagnate the Canadian economy.
I’m really disappointed by Stephen Harper, his greed his lack of vision, and his assistant in the destruction of the Canadian middle class. It what he’s doing needs to be known and I hope you economic people wake up and see the disaster Stephen Harper created.
Personally I think renewable energies could change Canada and the world for the better however if you’re going to go the fossil fuels route at the very least invest in programs that get more Canadians jobs in the industry that you claim will boost the Canadian economy.
If Stephen Harper believes that our real estate market is strong then invest in educating out of work Canadians to meet that demand. This would not only produce more jobs but it would create more money via taxes and it would also help the real estate market because more CANADIAN JOBS mean higher JUSTIFIABLE real estate prices – with homeowners that can afford to pay their bills every month.
Instead what we have are foreigners buying up Canadian real estate these people don’t live here they don’t support local businesses here and in many instances they’re probably making money in the form of rental income from tax paying Canadian citizens which won’t be put back into the Canadian economy.
