After nine years of Justin Trudeau, Canadians are struggling to find work. This was evident today through a Statistics Canada report which showed that unemployment had climbed to 6.4 percent.

As a result of this, 42,000 extra Canadians became unemployed in June, with there now being 1.4 million Canadians being unemployed in total.

The state of Canada’s economy is even worse when population growth is taken into account. In June, Canada’s population grew by 98,700 people, while employment remained virtually unchanged. Previously, Statistics Canada has made clear that 50,000 jobs are needed each month just to keep up with population growth.

Under Justin Trudeau, Canada’s economy can no longer keep up with our population, meaning fewer opportunities for everyone.

Among those most affected by this are young Canadians. As the Governor of the Bank of Canada, Tiff Macklem, said in a speech, “with fewer job vacancies, it’s taking longer for young people entering the labour market to find a job, and their unemployment rate has risen. It's now about 2 percentage points above its pre-pandemic average.”

Justin Trudeau is not worth the cost. Only Common Sense Conservatives will bring home powerful paycheques for Canadians.
