How can any of you think white male supremacy isn't real after seeing this? If you're a white male, the government of Canada will pay employers 40% more to companies for hiring a white male co-op/intern than they will for literally anybody else regardless of... sorry, what's that? I read the website wrong? Ooooooh it's the other way around? They will pay companies 40% more for hiring co-ops/interns as long as they aren't white men? That can't be right. I know this country is racist and sexist to its core. I never stop hearing that so it must be true. Isn't that how this all works?

This is why you just start your own company and hire your own.
Think of this as well. A co-op placement is usually 4 months so a $7,000 wage subsidy equates to about a $10/hr discount. A company can hire 3 co-op students for $15/hr each and after the $10/hr discount on each, they're paying 3 co-op students $5/hr each or $15/hr total. Some co-op students may suck, but if they're only a bit over 1/3 as productive as a non co-op students making minimum wage, then the company hiring co-op students undercut your costs.
