Toxicity Scores & Embeddings

As a multi-generational, born-and-raised Canadian citizen. Recently, I have been unemployed for 1 year and 2 months, which is the longest I have ever gone without a job in my entire life. My EI has run out, and during this stressful time, I have only had 4 actual interviews with real human beings. I am also a caregiver for both of my parents, and working remotely has been my profession for the last 7 years. Remote work allows me to both care for them and bring in a full-time income. Despite having 30 years of customer service experience, I find myself being overlooked. Many companies now use AI to prescreen resumes, so if your resume isn’t ATS-friendly, it often never gets seen by a human. Even if you make it past that stage, there are endless AI-driven assessments before you even have a chance to speak with someone. And when you finally do, it’s often yet another layer of screening rather than a real interview. I know I bring value — I consistently receive compliments from customers across cultures for speaking clearly, precisely, and making their experience enjoyable. Yet I find myself competing with younger candidates who can work longer hours, or new immigrants that companies often prioritize, sometimes with government incentives. At 55, I feel like I’m being overlooked despite my proven skills and professionalism. Right now, I live with my retired parents and should be caring for them. Instead, my father is helping me pay my bills so I don’t ruin the credit I worked so hard to build. If I don’t secure a job soon, I fear I’ll lose everything else I’ve managed to hold onto. The stress is overwhelming — I cry daily, and on top of everything, I also face health issues of my own, but I have no space to focus on them because survival takes priority. Canada today feels very different from the country I grew up in. Since the pandemic, things have become harder in every way — jobs, housing, and simply living. Even if I manage to secure work, rent alone now takes up nearly 75% of what I’d earn, not even including other basic bills. It’s disheartening to feel like no matter how hard I push, I can’t get ahead.

At least they’re creating jobs, opening up store fronts. There is something we can learn from everyone. Rather have another human being like me create opportunities than the government controlling everything

1st person spoke Absolutely the Truth ! Canada was built by immigrants and they loved Canadian Values and that’s why it was here all the way to 2018 With the Liberals Federal and PROVINCIAL Governments with what they did to every single Canadian Citizen ! All an Agenda and there’s going to be a major snap back ! I hope We as Humanity wake up and join together to bring peace and prosperity back not by government but by each and every single Culture has an.

Rules and humans rights....😢

I am all for implementing CBSA enforcement provided it is Humane and done according to the law. No Masked officers. No Arrests near schools or near Children. Show the world how can it be done humanely.

My father immigrated to Canada from India in 1961 to complete his PhD, where he met my mother, a local farm girl. They married, and he soon joined Agriculture Canada as a research scientist at the Regina Research Station in 1963. Over his remarkable 40-year career, he contributed significantly to the evolution of herbicide research during a transformative era for Canadian agriculture. In the 1960s, as herbicide use surged across the prairies—building on early selective compounds like 2,4-D introduced post-World War II—his work focused on environmental residues and applicator safety, helping refine application methods amid a boom that saw the number of available herbicides in Canada and the U.S. rise from about 25 in 1950 to over 100 by the end of the decade. This period marked the widespread adoption of chemicals for weed control, enabling reduced tillage and boosting crop yields in grain production. By the 1970s, Agriculture Canada's efforts intensified with the introduction of groundbreaking non-selective herbicides like glyphosate, which revolutionized prairie farming by facilitating no-till practices and minimizing soil erosion while controlling persistent weeds. My father's studies on herbicide drift, persistence in air and soil, and human exposure played a key role in ensuring safer, more effective use, aligning with broader innovations that transformed western Canada's grain sector into a global powerhouse. Into the 1980s, as resistance issues emerged and manufacturing processes improved to reduce contaminants like dioxins in phenoxy herbicides, his research supported sustainable advancements, including better monitoring and guidelines that influenced international standards. Through these decades, his pioneering contributions helped develop and optimize herbicides now employed worldwide, fundamentally changing farming practices and enhancing productivity across the vast Canadian prairies.

Canada has all the necessary conditions to establish real manufacturing industries and increase production. With the presence of migrant labor such as workers from India—who are willing to accept lower wages than Canadian workers and others—the equation becomes clear: lower costs, higher output, and greater profitability. This workforce represents a real investment for those who know how to manage human resources and the economy intelligently.

The sikh community is great contribution to canada they have a great philosophy and mindset of helping all humans in need

I think Canada has more than done its part forever, it's time for other countries to step up also. I trust the new immigrations rules are consistent with international human rights standards as well as what's best for Canada.

Canadians need to realize that democracy continues to exist because of America. Without America we would be taken over. The next superpower will not have democracy or human rights

How about we have some self respect and never beg to be recognized as a human...don't go or turn around and walk away when they tell you to kneel

In reality, all countries, do use immigration, to open, and, or close immigrants, (** based on their labor, economic, and population needs. **) Must recall, housing, and public services must be in sync, monitored, statistics wise, to ensure a realistic societial balance, as it relates to humanities basic needs .
