The talking point of youth employment is a strong subject Justin Trudeau is pushing. I have recently discovered that government spending is the only way to employ youth. I guess that means that my paper route, bussing tables, part-time database programmer, non-stop internships, low-paid engineering consultant roles that eventually led me to a $150k salary as a project manager were not the path I should have taken. I worked in five provinces and four states to build a name, experience and respect. What I should have done was work in social services for the federal government. The funny thing is that I never hire government employees.

Actually, all those positions you mentioned benefited from some form of government intervention and collaboration with the marketplace and government. So sorry, dude, you aren't quite the self-made person you claim. And it would seem that the government of the day has been giving away our youth's entry level jobs (IE service industry) to temp foreign workers. Investment in education and job experience is an important one for the future of Canada - and the only way is for all levels of the government and industry and community need to work together to prepare our youth.

Government spending makes the world go round and built Canada. No Government spending built Somalia
