It’s almost like my entire politics is based around giving power to workers, especially those in the trades. Weakening the ability for Canadians to go into the trades is nothing but a deliberate strategy to weaken the working class, to replace blue collar workers, who typically are unionized, with white collar workers, who are not typically unionized. Then we just import all the trade workers who demand less wages and less power, and actually weaken the power of all workers in Canada (not the immigrant’s fault, to be clear).
As I mentioned though, children still need a quality primary and secondary education, which involves proper funding so children get a chance to learn, in a way that works for them, everything from those home ec and industrial arts classes to math, science, art, English, critical thinking, health and wellness, history, personal finances, etc. Not just for their sake, but for the sustainability, security, and for those free market people out there, competitiveness of our country.
