There is no labour shortage, there never was. Its all bullshit

Sean Fraser, Mark Holland, Crispy Freemoney and Sparkle Sox. Utterly incompetent. Flooding the market with unskilled labour and Palestinian Terrorists is all part of their plan to make the Laurentian Elite richer.

Since when tf was there a labour shortage? It takes months to get a job now.

If Canada had a real labour shortage the wages would be very high to attract people yet there are few if any jobs and they pay minimum wage or slightly more.Another byproduct of a woke system is the incentive to work has been taken away.In the past men strived to make top dollar but since western women are undesirable there's no marriage or kids and no one can afford a house so men do the bare minimum or don't work at all.A man doesn't need to work 60 hours a week making 200k a year if he's alone so no need for that high stress job which means no need to go to college or university to get that job.Society puts down men and women claim they don't need men then everybody wonders why men don't join the military anymore this all starting to make sense now?

A Simple supply and demand thought experiment proves there is no labour shortage. \n\nA shortage in any good causes the price of that good to rise. A labour shortage would imply that the price of labour has risen. But wages have been below true inflation for how many decades?\n\nThere is no labour shortage in Canada but a shortage of employment that supports a respectable standard of living.

There's a job shortage not a labour shortage.There are millions of unemployed and under employed people that would love to fill high paying jobs and trades but can't due to bureucratic barriers.Ask the doctor driving a cab in toronto or the lady with a masters degree who makes your latte.Companies should train people not pawn that off to the college's.The myth is these low to no slilled immigrants are supposed to generate wealth for Canada yeah? It's been 54 years of imposed mass migration where's the pay off? If they could why didn't they do it back in their own country? Immigration only works in small numbers from first world countries.All countries pushing for mass migration are having the same problem cause the concept doesnt work.The rich just want cheap labour at Canadians expense.

Lies lies and more lies. There are no labour shortages but there is a massive shortage of common sense in this country

So sad watching this country burn to the ground and being unable to stop it! Bringing in people to fill the labour gaps when you have all these discarded canadians sitting around now doing nothing struggling to find a job to afford how expensive everything is. Were not talking minimum wage jobs. You need to make at least $20-25/ hour just to afford a bachelor apartment! It's crazy!

Buahaaaaaaaaaa skilled labour, holy smokies thats absolutely a gagger. And trudeau saying theirs labour gaps to be filled and Canada needs more people ...this is of course another gross liberal lie , Canadians are desperate for work as they cannot find jobs, the twisted libs are aiming to dump 60+ million more unskilled militarily aged males into the country for a unbelievable grand total of 100 million welfare recipients/crims by 2100 to absolutely wipe out the native populous and fill with obedient lib voting unpatriotic sponges.

There is no labour shortage. All a total. Scam.

The real problem is the birth rate. Labour shortage exists because nobody can survive on the wages offered, as everything goes up.\n\nTrudeau’s plan is to merely replace the death rate. Almost exactly to the number.\n\nThe motivation is to respond to people not making babies for the last 25 years.

Labour shortage LMAOOOOO

Government wants immigrants for cheap labour while Canadians aren’t working it’s to ruin the country

Trudeau is importing good for labour job only stuff. No scientists, excellent engineers excellent doctors.

Canada will surely havte even more professional labour shortage in specific filed, IT people will leave Canada for USA . Universities have hard time recruiting and maintaining qualified professors bc even 120000 a year for Toronto and Vancouver are no longer sufficient to buy a house.

We don’t need PhD or high quality people , in Canada we need Uber drivers and Amazon workers to help our cheap labour !

Very High Inflation\nVery Low Salaries\nImmigrants treated as second class citizens\nVery very difficult to find job to match your career choices\nUsually end up working menial jobs and not getting raise\nSky high rent and living expenses\nVery high stress in jobs\nHigh rascism and non acceptance\nFeeling guilty because your peers in home country are getting way ahead in life and career and financially whereas you get stuck in this trap as a labourer made my life changing decision to move back to my home country and lead a peacefull life, my friends and peers are way ahead in life but, it is well worth it. I will catch up with them someday hopefully. To all those who are watching this video, it is not worth moving to Canada. It is a trap.

In 1991, I immigrated to Canada when I was twenty years old. I did not have critical thinking skills. If I know the history of Canada, how they mistreated the First Nations, kidnapped people from Africa, and enslaved them in Canada to exploit their labour. I would not immigrate to Canada because the same mentality exists in Canada that others are their slaves.\n\nNow, I know it was the biggest mistake of my life. I immigrated to Canada, and if I could do something to move to another country, I would do it within the blink of an eye.

With child birth it's not just helthcare it's labour laws, maturity leave you get 80% of your income for a year as the minimum standards with good jobs giving more. It is also standard to call in sic if your child is sic many jobs give additional sic days for this.

The government should be very clear to immigrants. Canada doesn't need workers in the Professions. Canada needs janitors and donut servers willing to live with two other families in a 2 bedroom condo or we need the rich to fleece off of. Just go onto indeed leave the key word blank and set the location as Vancouver. Most jobs you'll find pay 45-50 k or demand experience so specific no immigrant and most residents can't hope to qualify. Canada has a labour shortage the same way it has a shortage of 40k Porches.

uk populated its emptyness . with so skilled labour that its londonistan now .

Because canada is very backward! Only cheap labour

I left in 2006, after. Staying for 6 months. I predicted this scenario then, the govt wants cheap labour, that's the end point.

Immigrants here: Cobb-Douglass production function. I have been saying this for years. Since I saw folks coming in but no other changes. Output cannot go up if you only hike the labour… that’s what is happening. I fail to understand where the international student tuitions fees are going that account for around $23 billion each year.

?? canada is good for labour not for educated... you need certification even after you are phd, you need pr and experience after have phd. no jobs for outsiders. only you can apply as labour with minimum salary

Karma is real , ALMIGHTY GOD WILL HAMBLE THE PROUD,\nYOU CANADIANS SLAVE AND ROB \nPEOPLE FROM THE THIRDWORLD AND YOU ALL THINK IT WILL CONTINUE FOREVER , \nALL THE GOLD ,DIAMONDS, BAUXITE, AND FREE LABOUR , CANADIANS THINK THAT PEOPLE OF THE THIRDWORLD IS LESS OF A HUMAN.

The west is dying because they have been extremely dependent on the migrant labour...... and now the tables are turning........

What you can buy here for an hour worth of labour is pathetic and is getting close to slavery.

Saare jaha se achhha\nHindustan hamara hamara ,,, have some integrity , do not leave the country u born in,,, if u r learning here in india the opportunities are unlimited,, and if u r like i wll not learn anything i wll just take a degree and gov wll give me job ,, then u shuld go to canada and do that labour job,,,

No surprise.Canadian universities and colleges have, for years, unethically binged on a huge volume of foreign students who pay exorbitant foreign student fees in the hopes of gaining fast tracked immigration. They did this under the blind guise of pro diversity, pro immigration, politics. Canadians who suggested there was a problem were branded as intolerant and silenced. Meanwhile foreign students were being exploited as low cost minimum wage labour by business, packed into overpriced rental housing by exploitative landlords, and milked for huge tuition fees by educational institutions who engaged in unethical recruiting practices.

Great good news for a change…….maybe Canada should look for better immigrates who can provide Canada skills and not just labour…Canada isn’t the country to come to and live or even work…..

Good. Canada has gotten away with exploiting labour from other countries for far too long. It’s a total scam.

I was born and raised in Toronto. The Trudeau government has absolutely destroyed our economy and is now scamming poor developing nations to come here and work as wage slaves while packing 25 dudes into a basement. This is deplorable. This is just the Indian student scam (selling false dreams and a poor education), we also have the migrant labour scam in our fruit/vegetable fields where workers are abused. I honestly don't understand how these new immigrants survive here, even our Canadian-born are having a lot of financial trouble. Thanks for covering this BBC, the world should know about our economic malaise and how are government is deliberately wrecking this country economically and scamming unsuspecting foreigners.

This is because our government has been trying to replace Canadian citizens with cheaper labour. They have overpopulated our country by bringing in half the population of Toronto every year. That is not sustainable here. Don't come here unless you like being homeless, we can't handle any more.

Labour shortages is going to hit Canada hard pretty soon like it's doing to the rest of Europe

No no no! Come back we need your cheap labour and I need you to pay my mortgage! And government needs your taxes. Come back!!!! ?

PART 1..........I am in Canada now. i came as student and now on work permit. Really they sell a dream, as britishers are institutionalized THIEF, that mean they theft other country resources but using policies and rules. In the same way Canada under rules and regulation want a cheap labour/ robots, whom they can use it as much as possible. My life in India was far better than Canada.\n\nPART 2....... Now you say why do not i come back then, reason because I have spend 25 lakh rupee in education to have good life, but now i am working like labour to earn those 25 lakhs money and when i earn i can come back and live with my family. Canada do not understand the pain and challanges of immigrants. they just want youthful cheap labour. CANADA SELL DREAM and milk out the immigrants

Labour will be needed elsewhere the multinationals want to go to make profits.

Xi got pissed off and sent him to 10 years hard labour!

I’m Canadian, my parents didn’t have $28k to give me to go to university. So I’m sorry these ppl think that going to school in Canada is some magic ticket to a successful career making great money, but why should Canadians feel bad for these ppl? Yes u were sold a lie, that North America is some magical land of hope, it’s not, there are millions of ppl in the west who can’t afford university, and have to work their entire lives as janitors and labourers with no savings for retirement, nothing to offer their children, I don’t feel bad thst these ppl are being mislead by Canadian universities, so are we, so many college and university programs are a scam,

It’s too late now. Shady colleges are running it like a business and causing most of the problems. The USA attracts talented immigrants to make a Silicon Valley, while Canada is busy attracting and providing visas to mostly non-merit people. Soon, there will be more labourers than entrepreneurs.

What labour's shortage?

Labour's shortages? You caused this mentality of only hiring immigrants for most jobs....what the hell is this clown on about, we don't support this, I sure as hell dont

What labour shortage is he talking about because I lost my job and I’m being passed over for warehouse jobs. Is it because I’m overqualified? Probably so but I find it truly disheartening knowing that I’ve lived here all my life and the employers are choosing Indians over me to work for them.

What is the cause of the continued labour shortage?

Labour shortage??? Have you seen the insanely long lineups for minimum wage jobs ???

Labour shortages? Wtf is he even talking about

Actually, Canadians benefit from this. Setup more universities and lure in more intl students. Cheaper labour + higher property prices achieved.

Labour shortages? I have three adult children in their 20's, one has a ft job, the other two can't find work. Hundreds of resumes submitted in the last year, not even a single call for an interview.
