Actually, not really, Walter. For three generations now the younger generation have had things much better than their forefathers.
Congratualtions Joyless LIE-beral Monkey! Your DELUSIONS ARE MOST PROFOUND AND FULLY DEVELOPED!
Your insanity regarding the reality of life for kids today IS AMAZING!
Here is an article illustrating the two tier economy that LIE-berals are deliberately building for us - and we should keep this in mind as our teacher HOGS ramp up their DEMANDS FOR MORE GRAVY !! With some comments of my own in brackets):
1 million Canadians juggling jobs, working 50-hour weeks: StatsCan

Just over a million Canadians are now juggling more than one job and work an average of 50 hours a week, according to a new Statistics Canada survey.
(Having multiple jobs obviously INCREASES the amount of travel the worker must do and thus crappy McJobs INCREASE global warming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The number of people working multiple jobs has almost doubled since 1978, rising rapidly in the 1980s, then edging up to 5.7% of the Canadian workers in 2018, according to the report, titled Multiple Jobholders in Canada.
(WE see the numbers change more unpleasantly each season - each year there are more part time McJobs for ordinary people and more grand HOG jobs supplying LOTS OF GRAVY to LIE-beral ALLIES!! It is NOT sustainable as our rising debt loads and inability to repair infrastructure PROVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Women, part-time workers and people in their 20s are more likely to hold multiple jobs, the report said.
“People engage in multiple job holding for various reasons, such as out of financial necessity, to ensure continuous employment, or to accumulate skills and expertise in other occupations,” report said.
(Financial necessity seems to be the big motivator here even though LIE-berals enjoy claiming that our economy is “booming” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
People who hold more than one job typically work in female-dominated sectors of health care and social assistance, and educational services, said the report.
LIE-berals seem to struggle to to tell us what is really going on!! People who work in “health care” and hold second jobs are usually cleaners and orderlies and the staff at the old folks home - all areas needing little skill and thus the workers are easily replaced - after all LIE-berals have to keep costs down some place!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Those holding second jobs in “education” are cleaners and crossing guards and lunch room attendants - with many of these people having previously LOST full time jobs that moved to China etc - thus they took those McJobs OF NECESSITY DUE TO AN UGLY LACK OF OTHER OPTIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(VERY FEW PEOPLE take on these McJobs happily -a measure of NECESSITY is required since the wage is POOR and the time and money that must be invested in travel to the various work sites is HIGH!! This is in sharp contrast to the grand gravy and comparatively wonderful working conditions, benefits and holidays offered to full time unionized govt HOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
While the Statistics Canada report does not offer insight into how these workers’ fare financially, a recent Bank of Canada survey found one third of Canadians chose to take up “informal work,” such as driving for a ride-sharing service, housecleaning and babysitting, as a result of weak economic conditions.
(Thus giving the LIE to LIE-beral claims of our “booming economy”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Logging 43 hours a month for $465 on average, these “gig” workers make less than the minimum wage, Blacklock’s Reporter reported.
(Transportation costs are a SERIOUS ISSUE for many Cdns!! Especially for the MANY who MUST DRIVE since public transit CANNOT Take them where they need to go in suitable time frame - thus driving that LIE-berals claim is a luxury -is in fact a SURVIVAL TACTIC for working poor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(LIE-berals COULD reduce the need for driving by building more public transit - except for that TROUBLING LIE-beral NEED to BUY VOTES from civil service union HOGS and assorted other special interest groups whose desires and values ARE AT ODDS with those of ordinary Cdns!! We will not see much new transit built nor see real action to repair rotting infrastructure UNTIL AND UNLESS the HOG gravy train is first DERAILED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Rob Ford WAS RIGHT about the gravy train and its society crippling GREED!!!)
