The Liberals keep bragging about 88,000 jobs.
Here's the part they don't want you looking at.
Statistics Canada hired roughly 32,000 temporary census workers.
Public sector employment jumped.
Infrastructure spending funded by taxpayers boosted construction hiring.
FIFA-related activity boosted temporary employment.
Temporary jobs increased nearly 3x faster than permanent jobs.
In other words, the headline says "88,000 jobs."
The fine print says "temporary, taxpayer-funded, and seasonal."
There's nothing wrong with temporary work.
But when temporary jobs become the main engine of growth, that's not an economic boom.
That's economic life support.
@mario4thenorth Truly sad. Just wait until it expands for mental health. Letting someone with PTSD or depression make that decision is really irresponsible.
@MarkJCarney Poaching and luring MP's away with back room deals is nothing to be proud of. It just shows the lack of values and ethics all around. I guess some pweiple have their price it will take to be bought out.
@CA_VS_Everybody First, how did he get through candidate screening? Clearly, this needs to be better. Second he needs to be removed from his position and a bi-election called. Third, he needs to be charged and held in custody.
The fact that the Liberal Party took hundreds of thousands from candidates that they then disqualified so they could parachute an unelected Prime Minister into one of their ridings with full coffers come election timeβ¦ itβs not the stuff that functioning democracies are made of.
@CBCNews What about the damage the Federal fovernment has done to the entire country, the last 10+ years? Let's not talk about that. If our economy had been stronger, and we had the proper structure in place - this would not have been an issue. Even just pipelines. Seriously. Do better.
