So then?........... what are all these new Canadians doing and WHY do we have all this GROWTH and EXPANSION?
maybe we just have TOO MANY strip malls - are they employing all the people that could be skilled?
The numbers and predictions just don't add up........
I think someone?? is gaslighting us all

The population MUST HAVE increased 10 fold
otherisie WHO (exactly) lives in all these developments?
Chinese miners? Gang bangers? Politicians?

I guess the only skills trai ing the liberals are talking about is communications re. jobs in Christys office, and lawyers defending the corrupt liberals.

What guarantees do those predicting this have to offer to those who will be going to school and to those who will be picking up the tab? This prediction is based on some assumptions, and many of those assumptions may not come to pass. For example, it presupposes a certain rate of economic growth-but given the hostility to virtually any proposal for economic growth, manyh of the jobs will vanish with those who are retiring.

The university types want bigger budgets and more staff (unionized). I would have some respect for their position if they at the same time proposed a re allocation of their current spending to focus on courses and programs designed for this potential job shortage. I know people who have gone into these "retraining" programs for the trades, and not one of them got jobs locally. Up North,Alberta, Sask, offshore. To those who could not move because of family committments just wasted their time and money.

I will believe it when I see it.
