Not everyone who is chronically unemployed is lazy. Our politicians have whored out Canada. A lot of Canadian jobs have been shipped overseas or given to foreign visa workers. Someone like smokingcatnip may not be worth the $14 CAD/hr minimum wage. And it's not as simple as "learn a trade bro" or "learn to code bro". There's only so many tradesman and coders that society needs bro. The working class were kept afloat before because we had a lot of jobs for "unskilled" labour in factories and such. Now we just make all our shit in China.
And hiring people with cognitive or mental disabilities is a legal minefield for employers because they are afraid of getting sued due to the regulations we have in place. These regulations were put in place in the name of "protecting" people with disabilities. But yet the employment rate for people with disabilities was actually a lot higher before these "protections" were put in place. It's easy to sue an employer for "discrimination" after they already hired you. But it's next to impossible to prove discrimination if the employer didn't hire you at all.
The solution to the problem is to deregulate the economy and to deregulate housing so that we can increase housing supply. And we need to reduce immigration substantially. The Liberals, Tories and NDP (Liberal+) have failed on all these fronts. The Green being Liberal++ would also fail if they were in power.
You're not going to convince anyone to join your side by showing open contempt for them. SJWs are a lost cause until they figure it out on their own that they have joined a cult. The chronically unemployed are not a lost cause as Trump has shown. Even if they vote Liberal. They just need to understand that the Liberal party is holding them down.
This is the problem that Tories face. They cater to a shrinking demographic of middle-class+ people (especially middle-class+ whites). You need to grow your base in order to win. The Tory strategy appears to be to repeat the same strategy over and over again until moderate Liberals and independents get sick of the Liberals running up the deficit giving money to government bureaucrats instead of actually solving problems (ie. poverty, homelessness, housing bubble) with the money. Trump won Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio, Iowa, Florida in 2016 because he knew how to speak to poor whites and he does a very good job of speaking to Hispanics (especially Cubans and Venezuelans), blacks and even Muslims.
Well, well said!
Yeah things are only going to get worse and worse with the economy and housing. In Brampton some Karen bylaw officer or whatever on r/brampton pointed out that there were 19 people living in one town house. And they all had COVID. And only 9 of them were in the home when she went to do her check. 10 of them broke quarantine rules at the time she showed up. Imagine 19 Pajeets in a town house. Madness.
Empathy is a serious problem that a lot of Tories have and this is going to severely limit their appeal. Trump at least did a good job of speaking to poor whites. Putting a bunch of people on welfare is not the solution. But it's not like the Tories do a good job of creating Canadian jobs and creating affordable housing for Canadians either. Both parties (as well as NDP in BC, Alberta, etc) are failing on this front. Harper had almost a full decade to fix problems, over 4 years with a majority. And the housing bubble got worse. The outsourcing, the capital flight abroad, the job losses due to automation, etc. got worse. Just as it has under the Liberals and NDP (provincial). In fact a lot of NIMBYs who don't want affordable housing in their neighbourhood are Tories (some of them certainly are Liberals too). Because they are the type of person who feels the desire to look down on others. A lot of NIMBYs would have an identity crisis if they didn't have an other to look down on. And these same fuckers are the ones snitching on their neighbours to 311 for not social distancing, masking and they are the exactly type of Tory cuck who votes for Doug Ford.
