I’m pretty sure that most young Canadians aren’t lining up to do things like farm labour. (This is why one shouldn’t generalise so broadly).

Did it. Most brutal job of my life. Also gave myself a permanent injury. (Nearly 40 years ago.)

They literally tried to get teenagers to do farm labour like tobacco in the 60s and it didn't work because they kept quitting

I won't generalize broadly, and I'm not going to indulge in his underlying xenophobia, but in my circles growing up, summer jobs in agriculture and horticulture were pretty common, and many people I knew did that all the way through university. OTOH, few to none wanted to make careers out of it.

They did it at university then never went near it again, that's the point.

So immigrants steal jobs from Canadians, eh? What a bold new direction to take for the CPC. Wait - do they eat cats and dogs too? I have a terrible feeling they might be eating the cats and the dogs of honest, hard-working Canadians.

Page 1 of the fascism playbook - blame immigrants & migrant workers.

I wonder how many jobs AI is taking away from young Canadians?

True. So I also wonder why Carney created a Ministry of AI to take even more of their jobs.

Can we please note that, yet again, he is stating a MAGA fascist talking point? If he were to ever gain power, he would relish in the idea of ordering CBSA to do what ICE is doing. #cdnpoli #fascism

Yes, one shouldn't geberalise so broadly...like generalising that the TFW program is about farm work when its the backbone of the fast food industry as well. Not to mention its increasing presence in construction, trucking, and even healthcare.

We need a cultural revolution! Send our effete urban students, with their social media addictions, out to the countryside where they can learn honest, working class labour from Canadian peasants! Have some cleansing struggle circles!

I say it should be mandatory for 18 year old persons to do Military service, or farm labour like many of us retired persons did. He's such a jerk ... but it is a good idea.
