Laut Carney liegt die Schaffung von Arbeitsplätzen in Kanada trotz des Verlusts von 84.000 Arbeitsplätzen im letzten Monat immer noch weit vor den USA

>The Canadian economy lost more jobs in February than it has in a single month in the last four years — but Prime Minister Mark Carney says when compared to the United States, we’re doing pretty good.

>“If you look at the performance of the labour market over the last six months we’ve created over 80,000 jobs,“ he said in Norway on Friday.

>“The United States has created 6,000 jobs. The United States — 11 times the size of our economy. Wages [in Canada] are growing at 4.2 per cent, fastest wage growth in years. Unemployment — 6.7 per cent — is lower than the level when I came into office a year ago.“

Hmm… I wonder how many of those 80,000 created jobs were concentrated in Alberta.

i expected this. we’re in the middle of a trade war and we’re reduced immigration and TFW/foreign student levels.

Im going to quote the budget officer that lost his job recently.

„for myself the analogy is uh I don’t know you’re 200 lb overweight and you have 50% body fat and everybody else in your weight loss group has 75% body fat and is like 400 lb overweight and can’t get out of bed. So yeah, like we’re relatively we’re in a more advantageous position.“ 

This way he can justify pumping in even more Temporary Foreign Workers (TFW) into this country.

>“One doesn’t want an over-reliance, certainly, on temporary foreign workers for lower-skilled jobs, which prevent the wage adjustment mechanism from making sure that Canadians are paid higher wages.“

>“When I talk to businesses around the country their number one issue is tariffs and **their number two issue is access to temporary foreign workers.**“

His statistics agency seems to disagree.

The US has a much lower unemployment rate compared to Canada

This is factually untrue. Period. The only major area we gained 7000 jobs is.. you guessed it government. There were a few other areas with a few hundred here and there. The rest of the areas all got hit 🙁 Over 100K lost full time jobs. Oh my. My heart goes out to everyone who lost their job 🙁 and then to have the PM say what he said.. Just unbelievable.

For anyone say we’re ‚better‘ than anyone else is gaslighting. It’s as bad as the housing minister saying our housing problems are due to the Iran war. And the AI minister (oxymoron) saying, the February job numbers are due to the Iran war (that started on the 28 of February).. Clueless..

Innovation and startups still face more hurdles getting up and running in Canada than if they moved to the US, and until that changes job creation in Canada will never be able to compete and we will continue to lose new potential to the US.

Such a great economist right guys. Has to deflect the issue, while offering no plans. Ships sinking, but at least we’re not those guys right?

Liberals are delusional, making this beautiful country worse every single day

To be fair, a 30 year strategy of connecting our economy at the hip to the American economy, is a strategy that takes time to unravel, and a strategy that is consequential.

While connected, comparative assessments are the most useful kind. After we are disconnected, which probably takes 10 years, we should compare ourselves with the world, but it will be hard to be divorced from the world.
