Help Wanted

Let's now forget the trades are not only good for a well paying job with benefits, insurance and a pension but you can also make great cash on the side if you have the willingness to hustle and work nights and weekends.

The trade shortage will only worsen and prices (wages) will only increase over time.

.... let me add "and do quality work"

The cottage has taught me one thing over the past decade, the skills my dad taught me plus my early jobs and youtube as a reminder and idea checker many projects are better off done by me. They can be documented in the reno spreadsheet and documented with pictures on my backup drive. Some jobs are for the professionals and a good professional is a phone number you put in the contacts on your phone and reno documents and hang onto a business card in the receipt box. I also make note of the sh** contractors/trades too so I never call them again.

My guess would be that the majority are service entry jobs that traditionally Canadians will not take because they believe they are above working at them. Hence the continued need for immigrant's who will take these jobs.

Perfect example right now is Great Britain where because of the Conservative led exit out of the EU, we now have a Conservative Prime Minister who cannot even get gas delivered to the pumps, the EU drivers went back to Poland and other countries.

So the next part is traditional Canadians being to lazy to get qualified for the jobs that are not service entry.

But Birdbuff you are right Capitalism is not working because companies have NO LOYALTY to employee's any more, nickel and dime them, take away benefits, abuse them on overtime and wages and employee's simply find ways around the problem.

Its going to get worse not so much for new immigrants who are coming because they will fill the job's, its going to get worse for
Canadians whose families have been in the country for generations. They are the one's who used to hold the life long career job's at the Motors and such places and they are going fast.

Brexit is the best thing to have ever happened to Britain, aside from the Roman influence & infrastructure in ancient times.
Like anything there will be some interim adjustments. It's a long game, and this is something they should have done many years ago.

Being controlled by a giant anti-democratic super state like the EU, and having to phone some office in Brussels for permission to do anything in your own country is not a sign of a free country.

Agree with the BrExit thoughts. When Britain joined the EU, it was an economic union - more or less a free trade agreement, but went a bit further than that.
The modern EU goes way beyond that. Britain will be far better off outside the EU. No one ever said the transition would be simple - but it definitely will be for the better.

I'm continually surprised that the Germans continue to stay within the EU. The German standard of living would increase greatly if they left it.
How long before they tire of bankrolling Europe? Or having lost two wars attempting to control Europe, this is there way of doing it? Hard for that not to cross your mind.
