The Indian subcontinent had a cool moment in the New Age era circa 1990's cause it was associated with Ghandi and yoga. It was highly crafted propaganda.

Then social media came along and showed us the real India, the cesspit that is the Ganghes River, diarroeah food, endless r*pes, and a GDP per capita lower than Vietnam.

India doesn't even speak English very well, ranking #69 in the world for English fluency, shattering the image of a British legacy, and ranking even lower than Venezuela.

Not cool. Cringe. Boomers and Millennials fell for the Indian PR in the 1990's.

We arguably were before covid. It was still better to live in Canada pre-covid, than it was to live in, lets say Mexico, Spain, Bali, Vietnam, etc.

Why I say that is because the 9 million Indians that were suddenly dropped into the population during the pandemic is the catalyst for 2nd or 3rd world status.

I think Canada was a failing first world nation prior to Covid, an underdeveloped economy, overleveraged in various areas, with major real estate and hiring problems (but still a 1st world nation);

but for comparison- its reached the point where I unironically have a better standard of living in the 2nd world, than I do in Canada. I have faster doctor visits, my money goes further, my groceries go further, my rent is cheaper, etc. Even for the locals, they have better quality of life. Literally the average person in Indonesia of all places have better quality of life, and something to look forward to- their states seem to be progressing, not regressing. My salary isn't even that much higher than the average local's, but I'd literally rather live where I live because- well frankly I couldn't even afford the rent in my hometown in Canada anymore even if I tried.

Unless you are a boomer or one of the chosen techies (and even then your quality of life is decreasing), its literally easier to exist in the 2nd world at this point, than it is to exist in Canada.

The saddest part to me is seeing this happen within the span of essentially a decade. Life in 09, 10', the early 2010s wasn't so bad. Even up to the mid 2010s Canada was pretty chill, if rigged in some ways. Now? You're faster to get MAID or your dick chopped off than an MRI scan.

It's true. Your life is better in semi developed countries. Simple math of more opportunity and flexible, under leveraged economy.

I’ve spent far more effort finding my last job in Canada in 2023 rather than actually doing it. That’s why I hate IT industry in the west so much - most of the times the HR don’t even have a clue on whom they actually need to hire.

Most HR requirements for IT positions in Canada these days are set to filter out whites and give cover to bring in visa jeets and flips.

The 100 calls asking if I'd work in Fort MacMurray for $21 per hour are clear eveidence of that.

(For those unaware, Fort Mac is pretty much a gold rush town, a living wage there is probably around $60 per hour.)

This is done through a combination of programs targeting "newcomers" and "students" at the provincial level. Employers get around 3000 a month from hiring newcomers.

Thanks, and that's not also mentioning generally the LMIA is "sold" to the employee so that money is also distributed to recruiter/employer to cover salary (CBC report)

About housing, a requirement is for the employer to provide affordable housing to employee's

For the purpose of the TFWP, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation definitions are used to determine the suitability and affordability of housing:

  • suitable housing: doesn't require any major repairs, according to residents. Major repairs include those to defective plumbing or electrical wiring, or structural repairs to walls, floors or ceilings
  • affordable housing: costs less than 30% of the TFW's before-tax income. Shelter costs include, rent (or mortgage payment) and any payments for electricity, fuel, water and other municipal services
We may ask for proof (for example, newspaper ads) that affordable housing is available.

Wonder why you cannot find a reasonable house? Well a business that has a few employees can buy a house and have every room is "rented out" to up to 30% of the TFWP salary to cover the mortgage.

There's a reason why the UN compares it to slavery even more upsetting when you realize taxpayers are funding it. Then federal ministers turn around and gaslight young people saying they don't want jobs (CERB train right) or low paying jobs to justify the mass expansion of TFW.

Look at https://lmiamap.ca/ and boycott businesses.

Good old leftist infighting. Probably a nothing burger but it would be funny if THIS out of all things is what destroyed Carney.

I don't think this will hurt Carney at all though, because the die-hard pro-Palestine demographic is either voting NDP, or is going to vote Liberal regardless of how much abuse they take because the Tories are LITERAL FACISTS!!11

And yet until about a year and a half ago, a family member who's a Med. Imaging tech was on 'full-time part-time' so that the hospital didn't have to give him bennies. Nothing will get fixed because the money shoveled into healthcare gets eaten up by a staggering number of middle managers (apparently we have the same quatity of them as Germany does with 1/3rd of their population) and nobody will speak out because they've been psyopped into defending our system at all costs. "At least my healthcare is free!" says the guy dying on a gurney while paying 35k a year in taxes.

Especially hilarious because this comes a few days after Carney alongside Macron and Steir made a big show about sanctioning a pair of Israeli ultranationalists. Sure shut up quickly and went back to toeing the line.

Could also see it wrecking Carney, assuming we get a response equal to the pro-Palestine campus occupation protests from last year. He won't know how to handle them in a way which doesn't force a retreat into Trudeau-esque woke messaging - messaging that runs counter to the whole reason boomers voted for the guy.

Thats the other part. Tried to make it work in Canada with a major insurance company. Somewhere down the line places stopped actually hiring and this is what they constantly do.

For major corporations, youre often a contracted employee or subcontracted employee (ie with an agency), where you don't have benefits, you don't have job security, and youre always on a '3 month contract' or '5 month contract' where at the end, if theres a downturn, if there's downsizing in the company, if theres a recession- youre done.

I can remember working in one of these places for a year +, and one of my coworkers, who was a young guy, had a kid along the way.

He wanted to know if his contract would be renewed, and 'we can't comment, were not legally allowed to' was the answer. There was a high chance it would be, but that kind of uncertainty? Its what drove me from the industry in the end, and him as well. When I was looking at other firms, it was all much of the same process.

You do have people being hired outright at certain firms, you do have start ups that hire people directly as well, but for most of the entry level positions in the big companies, its all contracting/subcontracting and the 'full time, part time' kind of thing.

Bear in mind that this was in like, 2017 or 2018. I can only see that its gotten worse in a lot of industries, and theres barely any foot in the door positions that aren't like this
