The thing with our society is that due to automation, outsourcing and importation of cheap foreign scabs, the system is set up to produce guaranteed winners and losers. The system does not allow for everyone to escape poverty. There are people who have to lose and this is baked into the system. What is the solution for people who can't get work because they don't have the ability or their mental health/neurological/physical disability issues hinder their productiveness? Kill them? Put them in jail? Let them be homeless? Let them overdose on heroin? People who can't hack it in capitalism need some sort of consolation prize. Like send them to cheap sparsely populated areas of the country and put them in a tiny house, trailer or something. Not everyone has the savings to rent a UHAUL to go live in a trailer in rural Saksatchewan. It costs money to move. That's part of the reason why homeless people in Toronto exist.
In Ontario, it's actually illegal to construct a tiny house. Legally each residential building must be at least 800 square feet and meet several government regulatory requirements. Driving down the availability of housing and driving up the price. And we wonder why homelessness is out of control in the GTA.
And urban areas like Toronto do need people to drive Uber, to ring up your groceries, to prepare food, etc. Low-paid service workers deserve basic dignity. There's a reason why most lowly-paid service workers in the GTA are brown. Working class whites are getting the fuck out of Toronto and moving very far away from Toronto. While brown immigrants are more than happy to accept living on top of each other squishing multiple brown room mates into a room because it beats living in India. White people are far less likely to tolerate that shit. This is why Brampton is now Bramladesh. White Bramptonians got out of dodge.

The losers could be foreigners. Look at countries like Switzerland that act that way.
Instead, our importation of the 3rd world is making them 2nd or 3rd class citizens here, and causing a shitload of social issues.
