Burlington\u2019s youth are suffering, just like young Canadians across the country, and the culprits are clear: Justin Trudeau and his globalist heir, Mark Carney. Their obsession with mass immigration, unchecked Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) programs, and reckless money printing has flooded our job market, priced our kids out of homes, and left Burlington\u2019s young people jobless and hopeless. Walk into a Tim Hortons or gas station on Appleby Line or Guelph Line or just about anywhere, and you\u2019ll see foreign workers, not local teens, behind the counters. Enough is enough: it\u2019s time to slam the brakes on immigration, shut down the TFW scam, and put Burlington\u2019s youth\u2014and all Canadians\u2014first!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burlington\u2019s Youth Locked Out of Jobs by TFWs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Burlington, our kids can\u2019t get a break. Tim Hortons and gas stations, once summer job staples for local teens, are now staffed by TFWs, thanks to Trudeau\u2019s 2022 decision to let businesses fill 30% of low-wage jobs with foreign workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, Canada approved 239,646 TFWs, with 20% in fast food and retail\u2014exactly the roles Burlington\u2019s youth rely on to start their careers. Ontario Tim Hortons alone hired 714 TFWs in 2023, up from 58 in 2019, and Burlington\u2019s no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head to Brant Street or Fairview Street, and you\u2019ll see foreign workers serving coffee, delivering packages and jobs our kids used to have and now, our kids are turned away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why? Because TFWs are a corporate dream: tied to employers by work permits, they\u2019ll take minimum wage and grueling shifts without complaint, or risk deportation. Meanwhile, Burlington\u2019s youth, who deserve fair pay and hours, are ignored. In July 2024, the Toronto Census Metropolitan Area (CMA), which includes Burlington, had an 8.9% unemployment rate, with youth unemployment hitting 13.5% province-wide. Burlington\u2019s jobless youth are part of the 120,000 young Ontarians aged 15\u201324 without work, a 50% spike in two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employers game the system, posting fake job ads to secure Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs) while sidelining local teens. Carney\u2019s \u201cfix\u201d? A pathetic cap of 82,000 TFW permits in 2025, still stealing thousands of jobs from Burlington\u2019s kids, plus 285,750 more through the International Mobility Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn\u2019t a solution\u2014it\u2019s a slap in the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Youth Unemployment in Burlington: A National Crisis Hits Home<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burlington\u2019s youth are suffering just like their peers across Canada. The national youth unemployment rate soared to 13.5% in 2024, the worst in a decade outside the pandemic, with employment for teens and young adults dropping to 53.8% by December. In Ontario, youth unemployment mirrors this crisis, and Burlington feels the pinch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Halton Region, including Burlington, saw 7.7% unemployment in September 2024, with youth facing even tougher odds in a tight job market. Local fast food joints, retail and gas stations, like those on Plains Road, this Burlington road and that Canadian one too, are hiring TFWs while Burlington teens can\u2019t land entry-level gigs to build resumes or pay for school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Economist Mike Moffatt says it plain: the TFW surge is killing youth employment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Burlington, youth employment services report a flood of jobless teens, part of the 2,500 young Calgarians served by similar programs in 2024, struggling to compete with TFWs who have more experience or accept lower wages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the jobs that teach Burlington\u2019s kids responsibility and independence, but Carney\u2019s Liberals keep handing them to foreigners. It\u2019s not just a national disgrace\u2014\u201cit\u2019s personal for every Burlington parent watching their kid get rejected again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mass Immigration and Money Printing:<\/strong> Pricing Burlington\u2019s Youth Out<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carney\u2019s following Trudeau\u2019s globalist playbook, flooding Canada with immigrants while Burlington\u2019s youth pay the price. In 2023, 98% of Canada\u2019s population growth came from immigration, with 60% from temporary residents, pushing the population to 41 million by April 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carney\u2019s 2025\u20132027 Immigration Levels Plan keeps the floodgates open: 395,000 permanent residents in 2025, plus hundreds of thousands of TFWs and students. His so-called \u201ccap\u201d only cuts temporary residents by 445,000 over 2025\u20132026, leaving 3 million temporary residents clogging the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even Carney admits we \u201ccan\u2019t afford not to\u201d have mass immigration, as he told Cardus in November 2024, proving he\u2019s just another elite selling out Canadians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To bankroll this madness, Carney\u2019s Liberals lean on the Bank of Canada\u2019s trick: printing money like it\u2019s free.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 2020 to 2022, the bank pumped $400 billion into the economy, tanking the dollar and spiking inflation to 6.8% in 2022. In Burlington, this means youth can\u2019t afford to live\u2014average one-bedroom rents hit $2,200\/month in Halton Region in 2024, up 8% from 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try paying that on a part-time or full-time job you can\u2019t even get because TFWs took it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carney\u2019s \u201chousing strategy\u201d is a sham, promising homes while immigration drives demand through the roof. Burlington\u2019s youth are priced out of their own city, forced to live with parents or leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carney\u2019s Sellout: Burlington Deserves Better<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Carney, the Bay Street banker turned Liberal puppet, is no different from Trudeau. His weak TFW \u201ccaps\u201d and immigration \u201ctweaks\u201d let corporations keep exploiting cheap labor while Burlington\u2019s youth languish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, 82,000 TFWs and 395,000 permanent residents are still too many when our kids can\u2019t find work or afford rent. We demand real change: shut down the TFW program\u2019s loopholes, slash immigration to sustainable levels, and stop printing money that screws over our youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burlington\u2019s kids deserve jobs, not rejection letters. They deserve homes in their hometown, not a lifetime of debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a fight for Burlington\u2019s future\u2014and Canada\u2019s. The PPC will put Canadians first, no compromises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us<\/a> to take back our city and our country from Carney\u2019s globalist betrayal. Burlington\u2019s youth are counting on us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
