“Our immigration system is broken. But what is more concerning is that the governing Liberals are slashing immigration and suspending people’s status”

Youth (15-29) unemployment rates have skyrocketed.
“Beginning in 2023, slowing growth in labour demand and rapid population growth contributed to declining employment rates, and unemployment started to trend up, particularly for youth. For youth aged 15 to 29 years, the employment rate declined by 2.7 percentage points from March 2023 to March 2024, to 62.9%. While their participation rate remained relatively steady, their unemployment rate increased by 2.9 percentage points to 10.9% over this time.”
