  3. The problem is, as it so often seems to be these days, most of the new jobs are part time and retail positions.

    We are constantly losing good quality, high paying, full time jobs with benefits and pensions for minimum wage, part time jobs with no stability or prospects for growth.

    More and more people being pushed out of the middle class in favour of corporate profits, stock market growth and meeting the every whim and need of the billionaire class.

  5. That’s what happens when you elect a competent person who led Central banks of 2 different G7 countries

  6. This is a BIG surprise!!!! Economist here were doom and gloom yesterday basically prepping ppl for a “less savoury” report!!!! This is better then greet!!!!

  7. being in america looking at canada is like eating a small egg salad sandwich in a park alone and watching a family at another picnic table filled with fun and warmth eat a full summer time feast.

  9. Wholesale and retail
    Minimum wage slump, job market is fucked for any job with degree

  10. Don’t tell the people on X, according to them Canada is a third world hellhole with no jobs and no future.

  11. Meanwhile, the US lost 156k jobs in October. Most in 23 years

  13. Wonder how Polievre is going to try to spin this as Carney being terrible for the economy. It’s endlessly amusing watching pp desperately try to make any situation into a negative to try fear mongering people into liking him.

  15. Keep buying Canadian products whenever you can. Every dollar spent on something made or grown here is a dollar that helps keep Canadians employed

  17. One of those rare times where it’s nice to be part of the statistic in the headline 🙂

    Started my new job Oct 20th, things are finally looking up for me.

  20. Poillievre trying to figure out how to criticize Carney:

    > beating economists’

    “Maybe he should try not beating people”

  21. Meanwhile the United States lost another … well, we don’t even know because we don’t have a functioning government.

  23. “Majority are part time”. Low paying temp jobs for the holiday season.

  24. Strong work, neighbour (from a Vermonter who is open to being adopted by you)!

  25. I will always be grateful to Trump for reviving canadian nationalism.

  28. Why is it a surprise? Canada is doing what it can to move manufacturing and other employment into Canada rather than relying on the US for jobs. It is setting up trade deals with EU and Far East, replacing US as a market. Trump may not realize it but he is doing Canada and other countries a great favor as they seek markets other than the US. He’s not doing much to help the US but that’s another story.

  31. That’s because of a big influx of PT. We have a loss of FT positions

  33. People inhaling this news are purely delusions. It’s holiday season, and is mainly low paying temp jobs. Our job market is an absolute dogwater. Canada has been declining and still is. Canadians are too proud to admit faults.

  34. Americas losing jobs, Canada picking them up. Makes sense. Can we agree DJT did this?
