Your expectation of reality does not align with reality, when half the laborers on jobsites are Indians (specificly Indians, not a lot of other foreigners were around) instead of regular young people (this includes second gen Indians raised here) like it used to be and often take the entry level position, it's clear what happened, it's why a lot of social programs here in Canada are clearing up and why my younger brother and sister were able to finally get job this year. You can cry racism all you want but it's obvious that when you import half a million in labor a year, shits gonna brake.
