Options and wiggleroom. Is there room for change?

I'd like to alleviate your fear but you should be scared. The country is getting worse every year. People have no rights anymore. The rich get richer and the poor are dying. We will all be paying for health care soon enough.

Our government is invested in providing jobs for new Canadians but not Canadians that grew up here, and it is really beginning to show. I think the government should help new Canadians at more appropriate times-- not on the cusp of an international financial collapse!

I know lots of educated people suffering too. I am on contract with no rights as well. I am still one of the lucky ones though.

The Dogwood Initiative is hiring.

What does marriage have to do with it?

My guess is your children when to university and took general studies and now got hit with the reality that means nothing in the job market. There are tons of jobs out there intact I am currently hiring for 8 full time positions all pay 6 figures, but can't find anyone qualified or will to put in the effort. Our economy is strong, and jobs are good. Choices around education coupled with entitlement is at an all time bad.

leave the region. I did, and while I won't say its sunshine and unicorns all around, its better than staying in a place only for the wealthy.

but please don't impose the old-fashioned idea onto them that they can't live a happy, fulfilling life without being married an/or having children.

Nothing to be scared of. You baby boomers got a free ride and they have to pay for your generations lax environmental regulations and wastage of money. You basically destroyed the world and now they have to pick up the pieces.

I was born and raised in Vancouver and in the early 90s I had to move to the island to be able to afford to buy a house. Sadly, they may have to move for work. I hated leaving my home town and I still miss what it was when I left, but I now have a great life and home. Sadly Vancouver has become even more affordable, and it is not the same city I left. I miss what it was, not what it is.

very very short sited thinking. My kids all got great university degrees and moved to Asia where they live fantastic lives with homes and vacations to all corners of the globe. You old stock just think far too local.
