Immigration, BNN, the word you are looking for is IMMIGRATION.

[@JessT-vg7ib]

Immigration is a net benefit. It's easy to always blame someone else for personal problems.

​@JessT-vg7ib The average age of a successful startup owner is the mid-to-late fourties. Thinking it should be an 18 year old's shows you've likely never even experienced it. No offence, but letting arrogance cloud your vision from facts makes you come off as an idiot...

When I was 16-18 almost all of my friends had a part time job or at least seasonally during the summer. Now it is extremely rare to see teenagers and youth in there early 20's working a job. Now all of those positions are held by middle aged people, usually new immigrants or international students. This has some major effects on our economy. One being that there is more pressure on wages to increase because these middle aged workers need more money to survive. Before when these jobs were held by teenagers, they had no expenses and these part time gigs served as a way for them to spend on themselves and put some aside for school. Now these teenagers have nothing. No jobs to save up for school and no work ethic, motivation or desire for responsibility. The root of the problem is that Canada does not have enough high skilled labour opportunities. If there were higher paying jobs that required more skill and education these middle aged people taking up all of the entry level positions would not be working them and the youth would move back into these roles in our society. Canada has too many people for the economy and the labour market to support itself.
