Is this secretly why they're combining open borders with state sponsored migrant convoys?

Unless we're individually doing headcounts, there's no way to know.
That said, take a look at what kind of jobs those vacancies are for. Entry level, low paying shift work mostly. The jobs paying $60k+/yr fly off the shelves and can't get filled quicker.
It's fascinating to me that there is a "shortage" of people who want to do the bare minimum while getting paid the bare minimum, far more people who would rather work harder and more creatively with their own "hustle" and make more money, yet there's an endless parade of people whining that "nobody wants to work anymore" and "too many young people are lazy" it's the complete opposite lmao, there's not enough people who want to flip burgers and scan groceries for peanuts, most would rather bust their ass working for themselves with their own small businesses and make more money
Exactly.
"I could flip burgers full time for $500 a week OR I could show my snatch on onlyfans for $5,000 a week from the comfort of my own home...."
Burger flipping pays $300 a week at the most.
Here in halifax, the cost of living is fucked, the workers shortage is real so they are immigrating in huge amounts of people and are now allowing foreign students to work more hours to make up for it. Where did everyone go?
Anyway, some of the fast food places are advertising for 15-16$ a hour. Minimum wage is 13.60 an hour, for "skilled labor".
At this point I may just go flip burgers part time, because all I can really do is part time work. Without getting my kidney/phosphorous levels figured out, I dont think its possible for me to work physical jobs for 60-80 hours a week like I used to. Not without sleeping more than 3-4 hours a night.
Ive worked some shity ass jobs here in HRM. Trashman, fabricating rubber vehicle mats, painting fuel tanks, carrying drywall. Mainly temp stuff and they all paid like 14$ an hour. But that was before the vaccine mandates. That was also another reason I had to leave the workforce. Besides the freon injury, I refused to get vaccinated with something that doesnt stop me from getting the disease, simple as that. But most jobs I have looked at now dont mention vaccination, so I guess I have a little more hope of finding a job than I did a year ago.
Why work these backbreaking warehouse jobs when I could flip burgers for the same amount of money. I used to laugh at these jobs for someone like me, a rather physically large/strong man. I should be in construction. But after being injured, ive accepted I wont be able to do the work I used to :(. I worked at a fast food place 20 years ago when I was a teenager, there were plenty of old people and people with disabilities. Now I understand why :(.
$14 an hour (burger flipping where I am, per the sign out front) x 35 hours a week (thanks, Obama!) is $490.
