Carney=evil theme
Whoever said Carney is evil? Not me. I want all political leaders ACCOUNTABLE and TRANSPARENT and we don't have that at all right now. Not In Carney, not in Ford.

The rest of the stuff you posted, I can't look at the link you posted so i will follow up later to see if there is anything to it. Funny CBC and/or CTV hasn't put this up on a giant billboard if there is any truth to it.

Didn’t say you said Carney was evil? If you personally want to associate with the depth of that sentiment, you can, if not, then you can do that to. My statement was to the overall theme of the opposition to Carney contained in this thread of late.

I agree with you about accountability and transparency. I have stated my concern about Carney’s prior closeness to China, as late as 2023 standing a few people down from Xi in the Bejing Palace, and I remain concerned with such close and personal ties.

I independently fact checked the information presented, and am comfortable with its presentation, though I encourage anyone to check the link analysis themselves, that’s just a good practice where critical thought is concerned.
 
Meanwhile, NOT a good look ....
What do the Commissionaires’ veteran hiring stats look like these days? Are they still sufficient that they could possibly justify that right of first refusal under the pretext of helping veterans? I’m skeptical that it’s still the case.

I understand they're finding it difficult to hire enough vets who are interested in being Commissionaires... AI summary FYI:

The Commissionaires are struggling to recruit veterans due to a shrinking veteran population, low wage levels, and stiff competition for skilled,, young, or newly released personnel. Despite hiring roughly 1,000 veterans annually, they have failed to meet a 60% veteran-worked hours benchmark for federal contracts since 2013-2014.

Key Factors Affecting Recruitment:
  • Declining Demographic: The overall population of veterans eligible for work is decreasing, and the existing veteran workforce at the Commissionaires is aging.
  • Low Wage Rates: Government-prescribed wages are often too low to attract veterans, who may find better pay in other sectors.
  • Alternative Employment: Younger veterans (35-44) with families often look for higher-paying positions that immediately utilize their high-level skills, leading to competition for their services.
  • Geographic Gaps: Veterans are dispersed across the country, making it difficult to fill vacancies in specific regions, which forces the organization to hire non-veterans.
  • Changing Needs: Modern veterans have different career aspirations compared to older generations, requiring the Commissionaires to rethink their "one-size-fits-all" approach.
Impact on Operations:
  • Contractual Misses: The organization has not met the mandatory 60% veteran employment target for federal contracts since 2013–2014.
  • Loss of Privileges: Due to these challenges, the Federal Government is ending the Commissionaires' $330M federal contract (Right of First Refusal) for guarding services.
  • Non-Veteran Hiring: To keep up with demand, they have been forced to hire family members and other civilians, reducing the overall percentage of veterans in their workforce to around 42%.
To address these challenges, the Commissionaires are trying to adapt by offering more tailored and flexible roles, particularly for those looking for career growth rather than just temporary or part-time work.
 
The NDP need to do some soul searching because at current pace, they wont last much longer. They were born as a party to fight for the middle class
I'd say "working class", and by that I mean people who worked long hours, mostly with their hands, often outdoors and in unsafe conditions. People who had pretty much nothing to pass on as an estate unless they died holding deeded property they hadn't already handed over to kids.

The middle class is anathema to socialists. People who stand on their own, enjoying the goods of fortune in moderation, don't need bosses and have no interest in revolutions. They have a solid stake in status quo.

I wonder if our data looks like this....

Feminism from the 60s. Followed by austerity, wealth concentration and globalization of the 80s and 90s.

I would say that data needs to be compared to median house hold income and average home price as well. In the 70s and 80s it was possible to buy a house on a single income. Today? Good luck unless you make over 250k a year.

There are two things going on there, marriage and homeownership.

I find the following AI-assisted search summary highly amusing:

"The median age at first marriage in the United States is 31.4 years for men and 30.8 years for women as of 2024. This reflects a trend of people marrying later in life compared to previous decades."
