No surprise here. Canadians spend more on the three levels of goverrnment than they do food, shelter and clothing. And the cost of government continues to rise faster than the  rate of inflation and wages.



Just over a million canadians are now juggling more than one job and work an average of 50 hours a week, according to a new statistics canada survey.



The number of people working multiple jobs has almost doubled since 1978, rising rapidly in the 1980s, then edging up to 5.7% of the canadian workers in 2018, according to the report, titled Multiple Jobholders in canada.



Women, part-time workers and people in their 20s are more likely to hold multiple jobs, the report said.



"People engage in multiple job-holding for various reasons, such as out of finan-cial necessity, to ensure continuous employment, or to accumulate skills and expertise in other occupations," report said.



People who hold more than one job typically work in female-dominated sectors of health care and social assistance, and educational services, said the report.



While the statistics canada report does not offer insight into how these workers' fare financially, a recent bank of canada survey found one third of canadians chose to take up "informal work," such as driving for a ride-sharing service, housecleaning and babysitting, as a result of weak economic conditions.

It didn't have to be this way. The more governments take, the more you have to work to pay them. It's not rocket appliances people.

Probably not..



Taxes will keep going up and technology will continue to eliminate jobs.

The Trudeau regime chases away jobs that pay mortgages.



The Encana mess is at Trudeau's feet



Think about this scenario: Each and every day a breadwinner heads out the door to perform a job that supports a whole family. It's hard work and sometimes thankless, but the breadwinner does it because it keeps food on the table and a roof over everyone's heads.



But the family mocks the breadwinner's job and actively seeks to undermine the work. Surely this can't last. Eventually, something's got to give.



On Thursday, something gave. Big time. Encana Corp. announced plans to exit Canada and establish its base in the united States early next year. Once the country's largest company, the energy sector giant no longer has confidence in the future of Canada's oil and gas sector.



Jobs will be lost. Revenues to government coffers will decline. The broader economy will suffer a hit.



The only people cheering will be the radical fringe — those activists who are the privileged children determined to tear down the breadwinners in their broader world.



Here's the worst part of all this: This state of affairs could have easily been avoided. Canada could have simply chosen to not let our industry decisions be driven by the demands of the radicals.



as Lorne Gunter wrote upon learning of Encana's decision: "The federal Liberals are the most anti-development, anti-oil government of any major oil-producing country on Earth — and that's not an exaggeration."



Gunter continues: "Canada still has the third-largest proven oil reserves on the planet. The world still has a growing need for fossil fuels and will for at least another 30 years. The product and markets are there. The only thing standing in the way is the Trudeau Liberals and their obsession with 'green' fantasies."



when Trudeau winks about phasing out the oilsands, champions Bill C-69 and refuses to take the action needed to expedite our much-needed pipelines, he is sending a message to the radicals that they control the narrative.



It's time to reverse this troubling trend. we can't allow more companies to get pushed out of our country.



Leadership is needed from on top — to get Trans Mountain built, approve the upcoming Frontier mine, tone down the divisive legislation and tell the activists they're not in charge.

Most likely big issues everywhere, but nothing will ever be done about it.



Gotta hire for pointless jobs in the gorvernment sector (and way too many) so everyones taxes can pay for pensions and high end life styles.



The world is pathetic.

A lot of jobs in the public sector could be eliminated without affecting services.

Youve said and I believe it.  It won't ever happen.  If it did, imagine the outrage and massive freak out sessions.  I do believe we need more teachersand they should get on that Cause Canada ain't getting any smaller.  But I also feel they need cameras in schools, not for the kids...for the staff.

As long as test scores don't fall, I don't mind slightly larger class sizes. I remember 35 students in a class when I was a kid.

All three levels of government are responsible for people working longer to make ends meet. Taxes raise the cost of everything. Raise taxes and you make necessities more expensive or they divert money for necessities to government confiscation.
