We are being flooded with far too many immigrants/refugees while 40% of Canadian jobs will disappear

[Anonymous]

All the political parties in Canada are deliberately driving down wages and shrinking the middle class in this country.

More than 40 per cent of the Canadian workforce is at high risk of being replaced by technology and computers in the next two decades, according to a new report out Wednesday.



The Brookfield Institute for Innovation + Entrepreneurship at Toronto's Ryerson University said in its report that automation previously has been restricted to routine, manual tasks. However, breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and advanced robotics now means that automation is moving into "cognitive, non-routine tasks and occupations, such as driving and conducting job interviews."



The report said the top five occupations — in terms of number of people employed in them — facing a high risk of automation are:

1.Retail salesperson.

2.Administrative assistant.

3.Food counter attendant.

4.Cashier.

5.Transport truck driver.



The institute put a 70 per cent or higher probability that "high risk" jobs will be affected by automation over the next 10 to 20 years, and it said workers in the most susceptible jobs typically earn less and have lower education levels than the rest of the Canadian labour force.

Immigrants are entrepreneurial. In the first few years after entry in Canada, they understandably have relatively low rates of business ownership and job creation compared with the Canadian-born population. But these outcomes change quickly with years spent in Canada, so that after four to seven years, the propensity to own a private incorporated business or to be unincorporated self-employed surpasses that of the Canadian-born population.

Odd.



In Australia, immigrants are overrepresented in crime, gaol and welfare.



I guess that's being entrepreneurial.

[RW]

Odd.



Foreigners are under-represented in the Australian prison population, according to 2010 figures.

Ironic to hear a member of a country founded by British convicts bitching about criminal immigrants.

[Bricktop]

Australia was not "founded" by prisoners.



It was colonised by the UK.



Prison labour was then used to build infrastructure. Most of Australia was colonised by free settlers.



"There are signi cant di erences in income between Muslim Australians and the Australian population as a whole. Muslims tend to earn signi cantly less, both at the household and individual levels. A quarter of all Muslim children in Australia are living in poverty, compared with 14% of all Australian children.

Muslims have higher rates of unemployment than the general population, and are less likely to be in the labour market."

[RW]

It was a joke.

[Bricktop]

Same reference;



"Muslims comprise 3.2% of the NSW population but 9.3% of the state prison population, according to the NSW Corrective Services 2013 Census (Khoury 2014)."



"According to Corrections Victoria, as of 27 April 2015 there were 507 Muslim prisoners in Victoria. The total prison population is around 6300 prisoners. This shows that, while 2.9% of Victorians were Muslim, 8% of prisoners in Victoria were Muslims."



Learn to research correctly.

[RW]

You said immigrants not Muslims.

[Bricktop]

*sigh*

[RW]

You know Muslims can be native to Australia and aren't synonymous with immigrant, right?



 

[Bricktop]

Yep. But those born here are the spawn of IMMIGRANTS. Immigrants breed.

[RW]

But you can convert to Islam.



And everyone except the aboriginals are immigrants.

So, when they come here they compete with Canadians for fewer and fewer jobs thereby putting downward pressure on wages. But, hey they might open a micro business someday that probably needs no workers, but if they do it will only be someone from their own tribe.
