Young Canadians are finding it increasingly difficult to land even minimum-wage jobs as the country’s youth unemployment rate climbs to its highest level in years.
According to Statistics Canada, the youth unemployment rate reached 15 per cent in September — the highest level since 2010, excluding the pandemic years.
Statistics Canada’s chief of labour force survey analysis, Andrew Fields, said young people are particularly affected by the tightening job market.

United Parcel Service said Tuesday that it had reduced its management workforce by about 14,000 positions over the past 22 months, days after the retailer Target said it would cut 1,800 corporate roles.

It’s time for Doug Ford to focus on being the premier of Ontario. He’ll be sad to hang up the Captain Canada cape, but the best thing he can do to help this country stand up to U.S. President Donald Trump is to make sure our most populous province is running at peak efficiency. Right now, it isn’t.
Let’s get something out of the way right off the top: I don’t blame Ford for the breakdown in trade relations between Canada and the United States. The blame for that lies entirely with Trump. He blew up the last deal, and he could ram a new one through if he wanted. He doesn’t. The commercial that has so angered the president makes for a convenient excuse. Absent that, he’d have found another one.
