Who's to say this person was hired based on their identity? Just because a person is a minority doesn't mean they automatically get good jobs for no reason

There is in fact no actual housing shortage in the USA whatsoever. The problem is that that wealthy individuals have strong incentives to park excess capital in real estate and landlords have strong incentives to maintain asset values through cash flow potential (appraised through $/sq.ft rent revenues). What ends up happening in both cases is that you end up with lots of empty houses sitting collecting dust artificially gaining value due to scarcity, and with rentals, you end up with perpetually inflated rents and vacancy rates that are as high as a landlord can tolerate just to maintain the appearance of value to the lenders. Often these owners will borrow more money and use an apartment that might be 40% vacant as the collateral for the lender and go buy another building and so on. What people don't penalize is the fact that that 40% vacant building with 60% rented out at above fair value gets treated on the balance sheet to the bank as if its 90% rented out from an asset value perspective thereby setting the asset price artificially high. Simple legislation of the tax code can fix this issue and unlock lots of sidelined housing. All we have to do is progressively tax 2nd 3rd 4th ect. homes higher and higher rates that essentially cancel out the asset gains, and do something similar for vacant units in a apartment building. \nIts just at the core a case of the rich hoarding something that has been made artificially rare. On top of all of this, because of how valuable properties have become, there are now many interests that capitalize on the entire process of building new housing that make it ever more expensive. Our taxes are funding numerous regulators that stymie new development, while the developers have to then hire numerous attorneys and planners to pitch a project and litigate it through the cities to get approvals. This can take over 10 years in a major city. All this contributes to the ridiculous costs of building these days.

Crossing the border illegally is a crime ..But illegals would not come to the US, if companies did not hire them for cheap labor.

Im not legally allowed to be a pilot because im colorblind. I wouldnt be able to tell the different colord buttons and id veash the plane. So i just identified as a color seeing person and sued until a MAJOR airline *had to hire me? i could be the captain on your next flight? dont worry i ussually get it right and whats important us diversity.

Why does CNN have people hired like this no wonder no watches it anymore. The transgender pilot wouldn't even fall for her baiting to bash the Trump administration. Keep the pilot get rid of the Idot interviewing her or CNN for that matter.

I am from Russia and tried to get a job at a Mexican restaurant, to which they answered me that they only hire their own. After i found another and they hired me to work at a restaurant where the owner was a white man. Thanks to the Americans for hiring me. And i came legally.

Start hiring Americans and pay them, there's plenty of citizens looking for work, PLENTY.

We are not tolerating this BS any more….time for some Trump hard ball….thats why the American voters hired him ………no more wasted money

The circus is hiring

Hiring someone based on their physical attributes is discriminatory. Change this to hiring someone to a position like this based on their skin being white would result in cities being torched.

Canada has exposed itself to criminals from various countries starting with India who are manipulating relaxed visa requirements. In addition there are no consequences for crime committed. \n\nAdd to that currently majority of employers are opting to hire students and refugees as it is easy to control behaviours. Provincial and federal governments are complicit and in process subjecting Canadians to hardships. \n\nWith American tariffs are on the verge of being forced on the country which in turn will deteriorate living conditions and as a result may cause chaos.\n\nCanada needs to gets its act together and deport majority of these students and refugees or be prepared to suffer.

I hear the Iranian Navy is hiring.

Stop hiring them and don't give them any free stuff and this will stop

Omg that's a man DEI Hire horror story

The government hired you as a male fighter pilot and later you switch genders and become transgender. Why?? Is it easier to climb the promotion ladder if you're of a certain group??

When did ? News Network hire Dylan Mulvaney?

That's what we hired him to do.

95% of their intentions are not to study instead getting PR. Owners hire them instead hiring Canadians. That's why general Canadians are becoming poorer than they were.

Employees stop hiring under the table \n\nNo money \n\nNo problems\n\nLet them in they will catch cases \n\n\nI'm sure Biden and Kamala are probably paying them to cause problems ?

Guys it’s call surviving people looking for better life imagine yourself in this situation sad to see this \nBut it always been like this world turning around it’s getting worst\n16 year ago i came to uk legally fpr better life and i worked hard pay taxes im thankful ?? for ?? i just hope all this turns out good and hire ?? legally hire with documentation those poor people to argoculture jobs

Trump needs to offer a tip line that pays people for reporting illegals and the businesses and landlords that hire and house them. the awards can be paid for by the fines the state can charge businesses and landlords that willing hire and house illegal immigrants.\nFine businesses and landlords $5000 per illegal found living or working on their property. And pay the tipster $500 per tip that leads to an ice arrest. The rest of the money can go towards from the fines can be used for deportation and funding ice and border patrol.

Biden was repatriating Venezuelans because THEY have lived under Socialism!! He was hiring 47,000 into the DHS!!! Why??? To be compliant!!! To aid the socialist take over!!!

....imagine the day a Columbian busboy caught by ICE had. I think the writers at SNL are getting yelled at by Lorne: I am gonna fire all of you and hire that one guy, in 4 years.

If you’re in the que for citizenship, the government already have you on record. It is up to the government to “not” allow for these people to now seek asylum, that is a special department.\nWe don’t need workers getting jobs that Canadians are not getting because these people get special preference and tax money used to pay companies to hire them.\nWe have young people who can’t even get entry level jobs because the government has rigged the system against born Canadians.

Trump’s Grenada - tough talk to a country with 52 million people versus big strong USA (340 million) \nWe’ll show them! \nWhat a clown - this will eventually backfire. Where is the DUI DOD hire?

ii wonder how many hitmen have been hired by the cartel to take out trump and that border zar

Hey CNN. Mc Donald's is hiring ?

my work place has hired those students on visa , visitor on visa for work through agencies but has not hired Canadian youths!!!!!

Lol no one can just get green cards even before landing in the US you either have to cross the border, or come in using some kind of student visa, or come in using some kind of employment visa which is almost impossible because no employer will hire you if you are not eligible to work in thw US in thw first place

Companies like Loblaws shivering at the thought of hiring a Canadian again ?

It's even more accurate that the guy deciding who can enter Australia has a kiwi accent.\n\nThere's nothing more Australian than hiring a 7 foot Moari as security.

USA companies love to hire the illegals, that is the problem.

Hire Canadians. There are thousands unemployed. Canadians first.

In the us they are lying about the immigrants are doing jobs Americans don’t want. The lies they tell!!! The jobs want to hire immigrants to pay them less money. Lots of jobs are lowering the starting pay and hiring immigrants. Some jobs aren’t hiring Americans. A lot of jobs are laying people off and I know it’s to hire immigrants

So many graduates without jobs hire them to do the immigration backlog

I have family that cannot get a job in our area. But the immigrants are being hired weekly at our Mart. Now its the immigrants hiring the immigrants. Feels like Canadians are the minority in our own nation.

This is addressed mainly to the ugly Indian: My generation came to the racist west and built a golden reputation. We worked hard, assimilated, paid our taxes, and obeyed the laws. We were humble. We celebrated our native cultures within the confines of our communities. While it was frustrating to be invisible in white culture, we never sought to conquer them with our culture. We were ethical to the hilt. Our generations were poor -- yet we struggled to help others in India and in the west. We were NEVER on the dole. Personally I think it is rude to enter a nation (in the west or anywhere in the world) with naked opportunism. Speaking for myself -- despite neocolonialism, I admired western civilization, especially its older forms. \n \nBut the ugly Indian who comes now is loud, brash, socially irresponsible, exploitative, money-hungry, opportunistic, and arrogant beyond belief (full of the hubris that comes from sudden new wealth). They look down on us who have been here a while. They are used to a servant-culture and look down on white working class people, as if they are servants. As for second generation Indians in the west, they can be racist towards us first generations. But the opposite is true as well. Indian newcomers see them as an alien species. Indians do tend to hire their own and stick to their own identities -- I do not mean the Indian identity, but their native state identities. All this feeds into the primary and secondary forms of western racism that are already simmering beneath the surface. This new genre of Indians is destroying the goodwill we have built. I have personally witnessed arrogant young Indian students cutting the line to reach the front desk. No manners, no ethics. As a first generation Indian immigrant I get annoyed. So why shouldn't native born westerners (who are already racist)? \n \nBut to complain about how they smell is rude beyond belief. This must stop.

cheap outside labour needs to stop. Hire within and pay people what they deserve. This needs to be fixed. We have too many people to need jobs

To many open loops \nCompanies want to pay less\nSee job posting but they dont hire

I got laid off after 10 years of work. \nI lost a job opportunity because the employer decided to hire someone with a work permit instead for cost savings.

In my experience working with Venezuelans they particularly suck. One person gets in and then they bring their whole damn family and try to get them all hired at the same business with nepotism and then you can't get rid of them.

If white people are so evil and racist, why do you insist on coming to live in our homes?\nindian immigration has destroyed this country, it will never be fixed. These ‘people’ behave like utter animals, destroying nature, poisoning the water, using beaches as bathrooms. They are extremely nepotistic and will only hire other indians and family, it’s next to impossible for young native born Canadians to get even basic level entry jobs if the person hiring is indian. \nindians have abused the goodwill of our citizens and our social assistance programs. For the first time in nearly a hundred years our local food banks had to shutter and turn people away because INDIANS were using it as a free grocery store when they had FULL TIME JOBS and brand new bmws, then they post videos on social media saying ‘how to get free food in canada’, while some poor emaciated bastard gets turned away. What makes it worse, a lot of these Indians, especially in the prairies, already have their groceries subsidized by federal government, and they STILL abuse the food bank. It’s not just food bank either, they all apply for welfare and immediately get assistance even though it takes months to get as a natural born citizen, and that’s even if you get it. I was shocked to find out the federal government was paying indians to move out of Ontario and BC into Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba because the coastal cities infrastructure was about to implode in certain areas. So they they told these people to move inland, and if they do and stay there for 18-24 months, they get $3300 dollars a month every month for that duration. My disability cheque, that I paid into for 40 years of hard work, comes out to 950 dollars a month. This is absurd. These people get literally everything handed to them, and STILL abuse the programs meant for those who are struggling. I have never in my life met such an arrogant and utterly dishonest and disgusting group of peoples in my life. This isn’t just one or two bad apples, this is happening in every city around here. They also get first dibs on any and all medical treatment and specialists. Many local residents who have already been on waiting lists for years to get treatment are getting bumped in order to accommodate the new invaders. It’s basically impossible to find a doctors or dentists office accepting new patients. ER rooms are full constantly of these people coming just for runny noses and coughs, clogging up the already strained healthcare system. The prairies hospitals (at least where I live) were barely holding together before this nonsense. Yet somehow, this is all just white people being racist huh? \nWell I’ll tell you what, I’m not white, my people were on this land long before anyone else can claim to be, and while I’ll admit there’s often still a lot of animosity between natives and whites, youd be quite surprised to see how many of us are in agreement towards the current behaviour of these people.

Don't worry there still 100k extra employees that were hired a year ago. Fire them also

Good. Don't care. Canadians are not getting hired on jobs and are living on the streets.\nMy government gave millions of grants and loans to foreign students, so schools could stay afloat. It's the biggest scam in Canada history. You can thank Trudeau for lying to these international students.\nCanadians don't have jobs, and we are educated... but a foreign student will be fine after school in my country. Bloody shady Trudeau. Jail him!!!! For life!!!! Lies, lies, lies. Too bad for the students. But the schools made money. Get lost... Trudeau you scammer

You guys gate kept the jobs from Canadians, rejecting our applications and pay us unliveable wage, then cry that you dont have enough workers, only to go get foreign workers to replace us.Then cry about crime rates and the housing market. Canadians want to work!!, we have been working for many winters now!!, but you guys keep preventing us from working because you want cheap labour. cheap labour comes with a lot more economic issues than hiring citizens. Our concerns were ignored and we were called lazy...to the point where someone like DONALD TRUMP is laughing at us and calling us a state. lining your pockets wasn't enough, now our integrity as a country is being questioned. If Trump made us a state, I would NOT be surprised.

reduce, reduce, reduce. Canucks need to be prioritized and DEI inititives ended to be far to all esp Canadians. I'm an immigrant and I suggest you vet better and get more immigrants from other Western Countries. Hire on merit not skin colour

Why Tim Hortons hiring tourist visa holders former student visa holders

What will Canada do, you ask? For starters, it can clear the truckload of foreign workers taking sub-par wages at job sites for my son's 3rd-year electrician apprenticeship - a job he hasn't found any work in for about 4 months now in the GTA. Yes, these workers and the companies that employ them have been illegally using the system meant for workers that cannot be found locally to hire for lower wages than Canadians. Some of them are fully qualified electricians willing to work for $22/hour - just $4.80 above minimum wage - you cannot survive on that in the GTA. So, not only do these workers steal jobs, they drive down wages. The companies need to be fined for misuse of this code.
