    Those are the worse jobs I did something like that early in life couldn't stand it.

    What makes a welder or a plumber worth 100 bucks an hour when you can do what you want when you want?

    How about truck drivers on the rigs with living allowancewjat are they making?dont even have to speak English.

    30 bucks is what 60,000 roughly is anyone gonna get rich on that? Not with today's housing costs food costs etc.

    Everything is relative within an economy. Building stupid things giving away money to things that don't produce anything then taxing the shit out of everyone is what raises the cost in a country. A large country spread out the major killer is transportation that raises the cost of everything especially when fuel prices are retartedly high. But we re selling it to everyone else for nothing??? Figure that one out.

      Nobody's job is safe due to GLOBAL competition for parts and labor. Automation/robotics/computers/internet reduces jobs. Read about 25 dying professions...we are one of them!

      Lot of bullshit in that list. I never read the whole thing, but two I picked out. Bookkeeper and IT Support.

      Know a shitload of people who throw a couple shoeboxes of crumpled, stained receipts (both personal and business) on the bookkeepers desk and leave. Let me know how coded software works with coffee stained pieces of paper in a box. Not many people balance their own books in any fashion.

      People in any office are ****ed if a server or entire network crashes. You pretty much need a dedicated IT administrator on staff that knows the system inside out and can troubleshoot on the fly. Bringing someone in just wastes time.

      Now travel agents and mortgage brokers, those I agree with. Internet killed both of those on the spot.

        There’s a lot of liberals working in the Ontario car plants. Guess they’ll be moving to Trumpland.

            isnt killing auto jobs and shutting down plants that produce co2 emitting cars great news for the fight against climate change? Pretty much the same as stopping pipeline development. Turdeau has got to go.

              Also a big win for Trudeau on gender issues. GM in Oshawa will have full gender equality- same number of male, female, gay, trans, etc employees on each and every shift.

                Chrysler just had 2 billion written off , GM still owes a minimum one billion which will now be written off as well,

                And yet supporting farmers that do their job year in and year out in shitty conditions like this year get SFA.

                An automobile can be made any day of the year....in any weather....

                It will be interesting to see how Justine handles this crisis...

                      How do big incentives work on 90000 trucks?

                      There is no ****ing way from a half ton to a 3/4 ton truck there is 40000 more value....

                      And then to have the auto companies have a constant write down of borrowed money....

                      How the **** can they be losing money on 90000 dollar trucks...when they have been making the same body style for 8 years...

                      Its as bad as guys trading combines for the decals at 100k a pop....
