That's An Excellent Point

 

More:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Infrastructure Minister Catherine McKenna, and Canada Infrastructure Bank Chair Michael Sabia held a press conference from Parliament Hill on Thursday to announce a massive investment into Canadian infrastructure.

Trudeau announced a $10 billion infrastructure plan that will "create about 60,000 jobs," in the coming three years.

 

(Sidebar: this Catherine McKenna.) 


For some perspective, consider the following:

Canada has the highest unemployment rate of any G7 country.

Job postings fell.

When asked about a million missing jobs, no answer is given.

The natural resources sector, which includes oilhas shed nearly 43,000 jobs. It also doesn't help that Justin has promised to destroy any pipeline that comes Canada's way.

Oil and retail jobs do not need governmental interference to generate employment. Millions find permanent or semi-permanent jobs in those sectors.

Yet the government insists on spending what the private sector doesn't have to for a paltry 60,000 jobs (if that) that might only be seasonal.

 

But, hey - there is a "story-telling" job to dumb down what Justin is doing to the country.

That's a real job, right?
