Old people: best I can do is hating immigrants
Old people: best I can do is preserve the character of the neighbourhood.
I don’t see it mentioned much or in the article but the data is actually probably even worse than it looks.
It counts a lot people working gig jobs as being employed or even boasted as self employed sometimes. The quality of those jobs is substantially lower than more traditional jobs.
A term for that is underemployment
Statistics Canada collects data about this under the category of “Supplementary unemployment rate”: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1410007801
Their categories of underemployment include:
- discouraged searchers
- waiting group (recall, replies, long-term future starts)
- involuntary part-timers
- discouraged searchers, waiting group, portion of involuntary part-timers
Literally had one such old person checking out my shared house the other day and telling my younger housemate, who’s struggling to find proper work, to “try harder”. Guess who didn’t get to stay in the house.
That same person would be lost of they were out of work because, surprise, the world has changed since they got into their career.
Oh, I forgot to add the interesting part: they were out of a job for a good while, finally got a got a new one, and started looking for a place to stay cause the job’s nowhere close to where they lived.

Here’s the thing: It’s their fault, and most of you old people aren’t actually adult enough to accept responsibility for your mistakes, let alone your deliberate choices. So when confronted with accountability, they pitch little baby bitch fits and then they go vote for fascists.
Love to see a boomer try to get a job on Indeed when they don’t even know how to send an email.

Define “old people”.
