@believe20252312 @david_parker I came to make this very same comment! Jesus+money=value≠Jesus' teachings. The hypocrisy is lost on him, sadly

@CalgaryDave @strikerglows @FakeBritTweets Because they weren't a part of the country, Canada, for a long time after everyone else. When they joined Confederation they got Canadian passports and the old ones didn't count anymore.
Are you being intentionally stupid to get a rise out of people or are you just this ignorant?

@AyyyLeaf @akhivae @airbnbchad If the people know what an "ethnic Albertan" looks like they wouldn't be asking you to define it. The fact you haven't actually provided a description tells me there isn't one.
What happened in 1990? I must have missed it. And who's weaponizing you?

@chillbrobaggins @JasonLavigneAB Where will they get the water they require to run the data centers? Take it from the farmers?

@RebelNewsOnline Y'all act like you're the only province that conflicts with the federal government and have had policies that work against your province. For people who tout themselves on their toughness and strength, you seem awfully fragile. Can't imagine if you were from NL lol

@Rodrikoo2 @GlobalCalgary A referendum is not really the same at all as cultural appropriation, and one of them is way more serious....

@CorrySense @GlobalCalgary @albertaNDP @Alberta_UCP Really? That's the best you can come up with to slander the NDP? And you think these folks are amateurs when they've been in politics for decades? They're idiots, not amateurs.

@MarinaC34558 @BarbBest19 @KristinRaworth Why not immigrate to Argentina then? Genuinely curious! Sorry your Canadian experience has been such a disappointment

Unemployment in today’s Canada.

My experience.

It’s a big read but please read it through.

For three years, I helped care for my father while continuing to work full-time.

I even moved next door to him so I could better support him as his health declined.
I cared for him until he died.

Later, while still employed, I went through six months of breast cancer treatment myself.

Pretending those experiences didn’t affect my career would be dishonest.

What nobody tells you about employment instability is how cumulative it becomes.

Caregiving impacts careers even when you stay employed.

Illness impacts careers even when you keep showing up.

You can still be working while slowly losing professional momentum underneath you.

During unemployment, I applied for 65 jobs.

Government. Communications. Non-profit. Administrative. Retail. Hospitality.

Not one offer.

At one point, after years in senior advisory and executive communications roles, I applied at Starbucks.

I didn’t get the job.

That experience stayed with me.

Not because service work is beneath me — some of the hardest jobs I ever had were in restaurants and hospitality when I was younger.

But because the economy had somehow decided I was simultaneously overqualified and unemployable.

At 44 years old, after years spent working in government and public affairs, there were moments I genuinely started wondering whether I had anything left to contribute professionally.

That’s what prolonged unemployment does to people psychologically.

The hardest part of unemployment wasn’t only financial.

It was psychological.

Watching previous accomplishments stop mattering.

Trying to explain résumé gaps without sounding damaged.

Feeling your professional identity slowly erode in real time.

In April 2026, Canada’s unemployment rate climbed to 6.9%.

Behind those numbers are people whose lives became complicated.

Caregivers.

People managing chronic illness.

Cancer survivors.

People navigating grief, burnout, disability, aging parents, or health crises while trying to maintain careers at the same time.

Governments still talk about unemployment mostly through statistics.
But people experience the economy emotionally.

Through rejection emails.

Through grocery bills.

Through rent increases.

Through the quiet panic of realizing there’s very little room left in modern life for interruption.

The labour market increasingly rewards uninterrupted stability.

Perfect timelines.

Continuous productivity.

No visible complications.

But real life does not work that way anymore.

Parents age.

People get sick.

Caregiving responsibilities consume years
.
Disabilities emerge.

Mental health deteriorates.

And increasingly Canadians are expected to absorb those pressures privately while continuing to perform professionally as though nothing has changed.

There’s a growing class of Canadians who did everything they were told to do. I certainly did.

Built careers

Paid taxes.

Earned degrees.

Contributed to institutions.

Then life interrupted the plan.

And the system suddenly became much less patient with them.

This is why affordability and unemployment cannot be separated politically.

When the cost of living keeps climbing, employment instability becomes terrifying.
One interruption can destabilize everything.

I have a job again now and I am grateful for that.

But the experience changed how I see work, government, and the economy.
A lot more Canadians are hanging on by a thread than our politics currently acknowledges.

@Kidar182 @gilmcgowan You really don't understand how Canada works, do you?

[poodle @msunizoom]

@Mr_Husky1 Oh it's not confidence, it's not having make up skills, not wanting to do it, not wanting to put crap on my face

[poodle @msunizoom]

@Mr_Husky1 Me, right now at work l. My hair is just in a messy bun, too.

@brailemom @magnoliasskye @Prof_J_Lawton Julia didn't write the article or choose the picture, what exactly do you want her to do about that?? Have you contacted the author or editor of the article about your concerns? What a strange thing to be nitpicky about with a person who cannot change anything

@theBrianaMills Speaking as a therapist, I think that's a pretty broad statement/judgement to make of your colleagues. I don't disagree that it would seem some folks don't seem to have given it the consideration and take the time to understand better, but please don't say it's most of us.
