Hi! I just got hired and will be working indoors and outdoors when those pools open, but I only have one bathing suit and will be working 4 times a week... So I desperately need good suit recs! If it helps at all I'm in Canada
Got a swim instructor/lifeguard job!! Not with the city but with one of the private companies! Literally so happy I’ve been applying since I turned 15 in october and now I’m finally employed 🥹
I'm a part of one of the groups that reform doesn't seem to like very much (African descent), but I was born in Canada, and many of the issues you guys are having, we have here too. I'm quite young and not yet old enough to vote, but the rise of immigration from a certain group has completely destabilised our job market and made it impossible for any young people to get jobs. Most Canadians on either side of the political spectrum are sick and tired of having more people come when we just do not have the infrastructure to accommodate them all. Life has been made unaffordable and frankly unlivable. In much more southern Ontario, there is no such thing as multiculturalism anymore; it's all just one group, and they are disrupting everything.
On youth unemployment specifically, we have a food chain here called Tim Hortons that used to be the place all us teens could get a job, but they no longer higher canadians, only Indians. The quality has taken a nosedive because of that. When it comes to jobs in general, the Government has decided that outsourcing workers is a much better idea than hiring actual Canadians (born or naturalised). My father works for the government and is an overseer of both the judicial system and IT, and he has had difficulties with foreign workers not doing their work properly or just not being able to do it at all. We live in a bilingual country (French and English) and, in my case, specifically live in the capital, therefore speaking both or at least just a little bit of French is a must. They can't do either and seem not to want to learn. It's made smoothness in the workplace nearly impossible because some people may only speak French, and when the person on the other end doesn't speak either, everything is slower. The people in Quebec have it the worst because it's a fully French province, and there's been a wave of immigrants who refuse to learn, adjust, and integrate.
On religion as a Christian, the erasure and demonization of my beautiful religion has been nothing short of disheartening. Saying Merry Christmas is no longer acceptable, it's now Happy Holidays... Islamic holidays have been prioritised and normalised in a way that is simply not normal for a country that should be based on Christian values. I honestly don't even believe that religion should be mixed with politics if we want politics to be completely fair, but it's just so unfair that one religion is regarded as okay when one isn't.
Outside of some of the bigotry that has been shown from the Reform Party, I agree with many of your points and wish that Canada would take such a stance on immigration and substandard behaviour from others. Sorry for the rant, but I have no one to talk about this with😭
