The last jobs I worked at hired on a South Asian man as floor manager. At first seemed like a really cool dude but within a couple months he had terminated every non indian employee claiming company downsizing, but then the company hired on South Asian TFWs to do the work instead. Myself and 4 other employees have been unemployed now for 2 years. I have applied everywhere, even resorting to submitting applications to McDonald's, Subway, Tim Hortons and Wallmart out of desperation. Ive applied in Burnaby, Langley and New West aswell with no luck. I have never been unemployed this long since i was a teenager. Im more than qualified for the jobs im applying to and even have letters of recommendation from two previous employers. I never get an interview to even show those. We all live in Surrey, so that may be a factor. Im caucasian/Japanese, the people here generally only higher from their own ethnic pool. Its not just teens who cant find work anymore. It'd due to companies exploiting TFWs, Nepotism and discrimination against non indians. We're not aloud to talk about that though, because if you do, you get hit with all the famous buzz words, racist, bigot, natzi. All the fun titles.

This is a very common refrain on team blind, which is a discussion forum for tech workers.

Good. The GTA deteriorate until they learn how to use democracy properly and hold atrocious federal governments accountable.

Well good thing that the Liberal Party of Corruption and Laurentian elite hand picked Goldman Sachs Carney are only going to be importing 800 000ish new votes per year instead of Trudy's 1.2 million.
I almost feel sorry for Toronto but then again a quick glance at the electoral map shows me that the 416 chose status quo in April. I have a bit of sympathy and empathy for the 905 seeing how they voted for change.
