Have you considered engineering?
I'd actively caution anyone from going engineering unless they have solid interest or are aiming for medical/dental/law school. Getting an EIT job even for mechanical and electrical is equivalent in difficulty to junior dev positions for the exact same reasons: Jeet overabundance.

Our universities have this wonderful program called a Masters of Engineering which is entirely course based, professionally certified by the provincial engineering boards, allows you to apply to engineering internships while doing it, and - the real hilarity - doesn't necessarily require you to have an engineering bachelors degree to get in. Unlike the seat restrictions for undergrad and college programs Trudeau implemented these M.Eng programs can take in as many international students as desired and so it's become another avenue for the Jeets to sidestep professional requirements and further shit up our entry level job market. It's bad enough from anecdotal reports that some engineering firms I have friends in have started tacitly rejecting M.Eng. degree holders outright since program cheating is rampant and lacks any of the rigour our bachelor programs have.

I did Civil engineering. No shortage of work for sure, but yeah, the jeet influx is beginning to show for sure.
 
If the American government shut down continues, you can welcome the EBT refugees.
Oh God, please, no. It's bad enough I have to smell Surinders stink in super store from his sweat soaked clothes he hasn't washed in 9 days. Must I now listen to Loqueesha yell and argue about her $1 off chicken coupon not being expired as well?
 
Electrician is probably the best trade to get into, followed by Plumber/Pipefitter which you can transition into being a gasfitter and steamfitter where you can make bank in an industrial setting.

Anything regarding construction of residential will cheap out on paying and will crash when the RE market pops.
The wildcard is ndt technician. Cheap to get into, work industrial; training is weeks not years.
 
I am now 99% convinced trump and Carney are working together.
I'm 100% convinced. A lot of MAGA people do genuinely want to annex Western Canada. Which means that they'd be condemning half this thread and like most of the country to living in Canadian North Korea (Eastern Canada) (:_(

Also this means Trump basically did a favour for the PRC by doing election interference for the pro-China liberals.

That's an insult to North Korea. Plus once Alberta and eventually BC and Saskatchewan leave they dynamics of the other provinces will change. Possibly the maritime provinces will be able to build up their economies now that they have more free trade
 
This is sad

Much of the maritimes trade flows south to New England already. Gasoline, French fries, salmon, softwood lumber, paper, lobster, beer.

Between the Irving, McCain and Cooke, notwithstanding the flow from smaller organizations that simply skip shipping west to go south instead.

Many a millionaire or higher has been made selling into Boston.
 
Hello. I'm a young guy living in Toronto and I want some advice from you guys.
So im torn between studying tech (computer science, data science, etc) or studying for a trade (HVAC, carpentry, electrician, etc).
Im more geared towards a trade because of the whole Indian immigration and all. International students dont seem to be dominating the trades like they are in tech.
So what do you guys think? Any answers will help me out with deciding a little bit. Talking to ChatGPT is kinda dehumanizing lol. Plus I dont fully trust that robot anyways...
Go into the trades unless you like the idea of working contracts for shit pay, surrounded by jeets, alternating with being on EI and having it run out before finding another job in IT.

Honestly, if you shop at Superstore, you deserve that.
 
Anytime I have any ounce of optimism I immediately see some horrible news story like the Indian guy that abused 300+ kids at a daycare in Nova Scotia was allowed to be free and flee the country because Sean Fraser is absolute evil and I go back to being 100% doompilled. Unless we start putting politicians into gulags in Nunavut I do not have any hope we can right the ship. The only joy I get from thinking about the country collapsing is the fact that the boomers who would still be alive would probably suffer the greatest as an onslaught of fent zombies, trannies and Indians slowly encroach upon their big ass house to loot and pillage.
