While there may be more jobs in Canada, the average hourly wage is falling and is below inflation. Families are struggling to make ends meet, debts are mounting, parents are working dead-end jobs and long hours despite good education and seniors are working into their 80's. How long will it be before we say "ENOUGH!"? I thought about Marie Antoinette's famous remark "let them eat cake" when the Paris gas riots were happening. Around the globe, desperation is waging against the unconsciousness of the wealthy elite. "Just get a job" (or another job) is the same mentality as Marie Antoinette. Let's find a way to bring capitalism and socialism together for the common good of all with fair wages, challenging jobs that offer a solid career path and benefits that are not tied to a particular job or employer. https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2018/12/07/unemployment-rate-canada-november_a_23611656/?ncid=tweetlnkcahpmg00000002#new_tab |
AuthorSandie convinced her mother at the age of two that a set of books would make her much happier than a tricycle. Then came diaries, school projects and heartfelt poetry - a writer was born. Reading and writing have been constant and faithful lovers ever since. This blog is an attempt to release some of the fleeting thoughts and crazy ideas in a place that may become another form of diary, but this time, one that talks back! Would love to hear from anyone who is inspired to rebut, dig further, validate or in any way comment on what has been written. Archives
