RE:RE:RE:RE:Rate hikes being questionedI wouldn't say this is just an immigrantion problem. I have friends who's late teenager kids sit at home locked up in their rooms playing games and streaming in their spare time instead of taking a part time job. Then there are millennial kids who drop out of the work force to travel for months long in Asia and Australia. These are kids born here with parents also born here. And some of the parents of those kids work in government and complain if they have to travel to the office for just 2 days a week. Covid screwed up the work ethic... period

I was in that trade my entire life... and wages for a long time stagnated, despite the extreme physical nature of the work. I still have contacts in the industry who say those they do hire ( younger crowd) are addicted to their phones and not very productive. And finding old experienced hands with a work ethic impossible.
New immigrants landing in Canada want a handout, not a physical job.
