But what does the census say about why they are living at home?

The emphasis is on a college or university education with no jobs after the fact. As someone mentioned on TV the other day; something like: ...with trillion dollars in student loans that students have no ability to pay, for work that is no longer available....

However, there are literally thousands of jobs available for the trades in the U.S. with no one to fill them.

I thought it kind of interesting.

Well, well, well ~ it looks as if the wannabes abandoned yet another Blame Obama thread.

Gee, I wonder why.

Poor Canuckleheaded wannabe wants to distract from Harper's p1ss poor record by talking about Obama whose record is better than his hero's.

;)


You brought up Harpers "pi ss poor record", how about you back it up with some facts.

I wonder if it has anything to do with kids not doing stuff for themselves any more. Of course kids today have parents with more means than our parents had who had just come through a couple of wars and a depression. Kids in those days thought having jam on the toast was a real treat and store bought jam was virtually unheard of.

I've been trying to find some info on how many Canadians are reliant on food stamps and facing foreclosure... Can't find anything too relevant, can you help

I'm not sure about food stamps (didn't realize until now we have them) but lots are reliant on food banks, which amounts to the same thing, I guess. Number of people facing foreclosure isn't really a sign of lack of wealth as we have pretty stringent rules to qualify for a mortgage. None this bullsh*t of getting a deflated interest rate for the first year or two before it's ramped up.


Your floor must suffer a lot of wear and tear.

Forsooth!

Why Captain - didn't you know???

You Canadians are dependent on SOCIALIZED health care. Therefore, according to the Tea Baggers you are a bunch of commie, pinko, fellow traveling, hammer-and-sickle waving fairies who hate God, leech off the government, welfare queens who'd rather sit home with drugs and pornography than to do an honest day's labor.




... you were saying ....
