You're not wrong.



But it is irrelevant. Many of the unemployed simply don't want to be employed.


I live in one of the most depressed areas of this country.......and I see "help wanted" ads all over the place for low level workers.


At this low an unemployment rate, the only people not working are the unemployable, or those that don't want to work.


If their welfare was cut off would they all of a sudden be "employable"?

many people can't afford low level jobs.
by the time they pay child care and transportation they end up owing money in order to work part time min wage jobs
the theory that the only people not working are people who don't want to work falls under the heading "Things I would like to believe are true"

They can be propped up by welfare, at least they would be trying

And you must be unemployed or unemployable with all the time you spend on this forum.....
You and other low level trolls, who are not of retirement age......

so if they were in even tougher financial straights they would be able to take a job that costs them money to do

what a genius plan

If the working conditions are truly CRAPPY.........................................


such as working for a financial group in a department that ought to have 4 workers...........................


and the boss is pinching pennies and bullying TWO workers to deal with the work of 4.....................................


then the position will NOT be filled for long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If the boss wants a college grad.........................................


but is not paying enough so that a kid can both live on the wage AND PAY student loans................................

If the job requires that you move to some very small isolated town........................................

LILLEY: Election race a dead heat as campaign gets set to start

Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (Photos by The Canadian Press)
As we get set for the Governor General to pull the trigger and make the election campaign an “official” campaign, the latest poll shows the race is a dead heat between the Conservatives and the Liberals.
A poll of 2,094 randomly selected Canadians who took part in an online panel for Campaign Research shows the Conservatives sitting at 34% nationally and the Liberals at 34%. The NDP and Greens are each at 12% voter support and the People’s Party at 2%.
“I think it is possible either way,” pollster Nick Kouvalis told the Sun when asked if the Conservatives or Liberals could win the soon to be called election.
“I don’t know about government and who will control the confidence of the house but as far as the election goes the Conservatives can win.”
Kouvalis raised the issue of who controls the confidence of the House due to speculation the NDP, Greens and even the Bloc Quebecois would support a Liberal minority government to block the Conservatives even if they get the most votes.
And despite popping up in polling for past elections only not to deliver at the ballot box, Kouvalis said the Greens are a real factor this time.
“All the indicators point to the Greens finally having a breakthrough,” Kouvalis said.
The party has 31% of the voting public saying they will consider voting for them, that’s higher than the NDP and a problem for the Liberals.
In the country’s biggest province, Campaign Research has the Conservatives and Liberals tied at 36% support, that’s a tightening of the race compared to last month and vastly different from another poll, this one by Ekos research, claiming the Liberals have a 15 point lead in Ontario with 48% voter support.
“That’s just ridiculous,” Kouvalis said of the Ekos numbers for Ontario.
“I was definitely taken aback. I was interested in doing a large sample size poll after Labour Day. I have a lot of confidence in our numbers.”
Kouvalis said there are two factors he sees helping the Conservatives in Ontario, the recent report on SNC-Lavalin and the Ford government’s change in tone.
“I think that the Ford government was having some very chaotic times through April and May. They’ve made a lot of changes,” Kouvalis said.
“That combined with the Ethics Commissioner putting out a scathing report had to have some impact.”
These numbers show a dog fight from now until Oct. 21.
GOLDSTEIN: Why Trudeau should campaign against Trudeau
KINSELLA: In politics, silence is golden
Kouvalis points out that the Liberals and Conservatives both have room to grow their vote to the point of being able to win a majority government.
When asked which parties voters would consider, 42% said they would either vote for or consider voting for the Liberals, that number was 39% for the Conservatives. Depending on how votes are split a majority can be obtained with as little as 37% of the vote.
The good news for the Conservatives in this poll is that their support is the most committed. A full 20% say they will vote Conservative and not consider any other party, that figure is 14% for the Liberals.
As for the approval ratings of the various leaders, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May has a 38% approval rating from voters, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is at 32% approval, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer is at 30% and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is at 22%.
The election is expected to be called on Sunday, Sept. 15. But the first debate, organized by Macleans and City TV is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 12. At this point, Trudeau has refused to attend that debate while all other invited party leaders have accepted.
NUMBERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
While Ontario is tied and will be the big battle ground for all the parties this election, the poll from Campaign Research shows quite the difference in party support depending on where you live.
The Liberals hold 42% support in Atlantic Canada compared to 26% for the Conservatives, the Greens are third at 21% and the NDP is at 9%. That is lower for the Liberals compared to the last election but the Conservatives and Greens are much higher.
In Quebec the Liberals sit at 37% support, the Conservatives at 20%. That would mean a slightly larger take of the popular vote for both parties if these numbers hold. The Greens are also in third place in Quebec with 12% support while the NDP has 9%.
Last election the NDP took 25% of the vote in Quebec.
The Liberals and Conservatives are tied at 41% in Manitoba with the NDP again falling to fourth place at 8% support and Greens at 10%. The Conservatives run the table in Saskatchewan and Alberta taking 55% and 58% support respectively.
British Columbia is where the race gets tight again.
The Conservatives have the lead from the Rockies to the coast at 34% voter support compared to 31% for the Liberals, the Greens are at 18% and the NDP at 15%.
The poll was conducted from September 3 to 5, 2019, through an online survey of 2,094 randomly selected Canadian adults who are members of Maru/Blue’s online panel. For comparison purposes, a probability sample of this size has an estimated margin of error (which measures sampling variability) of +/- 2.14%, 19 times out of 20.

WE may conclude several things from the latest "polls"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Firstly we see that some Cdns apparently LIKE BEING BRIBED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


AS of the beginning of September......................................


LIE-berals have made OVER TWELVE BILLION DOLLARS in new spending offers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yes twelve billion dollars in NEW DEBT in a FEW SHORT WEEKS to be ADDED to the Twenty billion dollars in new debt contained



in the LIE-beral spring 2019 budget!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Are Cdns REALLY THAT GULLIBLE???????????????????????????


Or are pollsters IN THE PAY of LIE-berals trying to PRETEND we are that gullible??????????????????????



Do Cdns NOT ASK how much LIE-berals will have to drive up the cost of their despised carbon tax SCAM.........................................



to PAY for all the grand promises??????????????????????????


This of course ASSUMES LIE-berals will actually TRY to honour their promises!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


WE have seen in the past the REAL Value of a LIE-beral promise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



This all assumes that most LIE-beral promises are not just Stretch Goals...........................................


trotted out here today for the election and trashed tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


As for the polls offering "good news" for LIE-berals.............................................


LIE-berals are spending SIX HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS TO BUY GOOD PRESS....................................


"from Cdn news media they trust"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Six hundred million dollars from LIE-berals..............................................


AND MILLIONS MORE from Cdn civil service union HOG attack ads..........................................


plus those billions in deficit bribery........................................


and a HORDE of civil service union HOGS flooding every polling effort..............................


filling in all sorts of online surveys....................................


screaming their GREED from the roof tops........................................


while TRYING TO HIDE their STRIKE PLANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



and the BEST LIE-berals can rig up is to run even against Scheer??????????????????????


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




And the Greenies are surging ahead.......................................


do LIE-berals DARE ASK how many FORMER LIE-beral supporters.......................................


are now thinking of voting Green??????????????????????????????????????????


LIE-beral and HOG strategists are tearing their hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


PSAC- our federal union HOGS ARE ALREADY in a strike position now.............................


so do they strike and demonstrate to the public how completely they OWN LIE-berals??????????????????


Desperate LIE-berals can be driven into a better deal now when they NEED those HOG votes..........................


but LIE-berals will not wish to be seen SELLING us out to the HOGS..................................


so a strike would simply annoy the public and make LIE-berals look bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Or does PSAC WAIT till after the election.....................................


and maybe GET NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Because a Conservative govt has FROZEN their wages??????????????????????????


EVEN WORSE for PSAC is the strong probability that many HOGS are DEFECTING to the GREENIES.............................


and LIE-berals WILL NOT wish to reward Hog unions i they cannot reliably supply votes for LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



And what of our Ontari-owe teachers and support staff................................


they too are rapidly approaching a strike position................................................


do they want to publicly demonstrate THEIR GREED right before the federal election?????????????????


If Scheer wins federally then his provincial counterpart Ford will be EMBOLDENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh my..................MORE HOGS with frozen wages at the provincial level if Scheer wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


One way or another.........................................


whichever party wins the 2019 federal election..............................


there is good reason to believe that Hog influence WILL BE REDUCED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And when that happens our elections will become MORE FAIR AND HONEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BC teachers are only falling behind because other jurisdictions rollover and play dead at contract time. Check the math.$96000 for a teacher. And they only work about 9 months a year. Eveb being gererous and say they work 40 hours per weel it is over $60/hr. Plus bennies.
Education is another government service that has no need to be delivered by government employees.

Liberals, Conservatives start election campaign virtually tied: Poll
Canadian Press
Published:
September 11, 2019
Updated:
September 11, 2019 5:10 PM EDT
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, left, shakes hand with Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer at the start of the Defi Pierre Lavoie, a 1000-km bicycle trek, Thursday, June 14, 2018 in Saguenay Que. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jacques Boissinot
OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau’s Liberals and Andrew Scheer’s Conservatives were running neck-and-neck during warm-up laps for the start of the 40-day federal election campaign, a new poll suggests.
The Leger poll — released hours before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau officially fired the starting gun Wednesday — suggests Jagmeet Singh’s NDP and Elizabeth May’s Greens were also in a dead heat, competing for a distant third place.
The poll put Conservative support at 35% nationally to the Liberals’ 34% — essentially a tie.
The NDP and Greens were also tied at 11%, with Maxime Bernier’s fledgling People’s Party bringing up the rear with just 3%.
The poll of 1,546 eligible voters selected from Leger’s online panel was conducted Sept. 6-9. Internet-based surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error because online polls are not considered random samples.
The poll suggests the Liberals were ahead in Ontario and Quebec, the two provinces that account for almost 60% of the 338 seats up for grabs, but the battle among the smaller parties could ultimately decide which of the two main parties wins the big prize.
In Ontario, support for the Liberals stood at 37%, compared to 31% for the Conservatives, 15% for both the Greens and NDP and 2% for the People’s Party.
In Quebec, the Liberals enjoyed the support of 37%, well ahead of the Conservatives at 22%, the Bloc Quebecois at 21%, the Greens at 10%, the NDP at 6% and the People’s Party at 5%.
GOLDSTEIN: Why Trudeau should campaign against Trudeau
GUNTER: Any speech bans during elections are dangerous for our democracy
LILLEY: Elections Canada and the social media mess up
The Liberals are counting on making gains in the two largest provinces to compensate for losses elsewhere. But Leger executive vice-president Christian Bourque said Liberal hopes of cashing in on a possible NDP collapse in Quebec could be stymied by the Conservatives and the Bloc. Both were in the range needed to pick up seats in the province.
The Liberals were also leading comfortably in Atlantic Canada, with 53% support compared to 28% for the Conservatives, 9% for the NDP, 7% for the Greens and 3% for the People’s Party.
The Conservatives were the overwhelming favourites in Alberta and Manitoba/Saskatchewan, with 60% and 57% respectively — provinces where they already hold the vast majority of seats and have little to gain.
British Columbia was more of a toss-up, with the Conservatives at 36%, the Liberals at 33%, the NDP at 15%, the Greens at 10% and the People’s Party at 4%.
Twenty-six percent of respondents said they’re likely to change their minds before election day on Oct. 21, with supporters of smaller parties most likely to shift.
Sixty-eight percent of Liberals, 67% of Conservatives and 61% of Bloquistes said they’ve already made their final choices, compared to just 50% of Greens, 42% of New Democrats and 22% of People’s Party supporters.
The poll suggests the Liberals still have hope of picking up Green and NDP supporters, although that’s somewhat diminished by the fact that the Greens and NDP are now more likely to trade votes.
Among Green supporters, 31% picked the NDP as their second choice, 22% the Liberals and just 5% the Conservatives. Among New Democrat supporters, 33% picked the Greens as their second choice, the same percentage as picked the Liberals, with just 14% choosing the Conservatives.
The Conservatives were the preferred second choice only of the small band of People’s Party supporters (40%).
The national numbers suggest that on the eve of the election call, neither the Liberals nor the Conservatives were in position to win a majority of seats and that the Tories, with the least potential for second choice votes, face the hardest climb to get a majority.
Yet, 57% of respondents said they want a change in government and 56% said they want a majority government.
Twenty-five percent picked Trudeau as the best prime minister and 23% picked Scheer, with just 8% choosing May, 7% choosing Singh and 4% choosing Bernier.
Asked to choose the two most important issues that will determine which party they’ll support, 35% picked the level of income taxation. Another 35% chose job creation and economic growth and 30% chose fighting climate change. Public finances, debt and seniors issues followed with 20% each. Nineteen percent named fighting poverty as a top issue and 17% named immigration.
The poll also asked respondents to choose the best campaign slogan.
The Greens’ “Not left. Not right. Forward Together” was preferred by 22%, followed by 19% for the People’s Party’s “Strong and Free,” 16% for the Conservatives’ “It’s Time for You to Get Ahead,” 13% for the Liberals’ “Choose Forward” and 5% for the NDP’s “In it for you.”
