Canada EXPLODES As 112,000 JOBS VANISH In 4 Months — WORST SINCE 2009!

Across Canada's industrial heartland, a slow-moving crisis is reshaping the country's labour landscape. General Motors in Oshawa has handed 750 workers a six-month layoff notice even as the same Silverado trucks roll off four American assembly lines—several of them actively hiring. Stellantis has gone dark in Windsor and Brampton, Algoma Steel is shedding a thousand jobs in Sault Ste. Marie, and the auto sector that anchors Canada's second-largest export is quietly contracting. In this breakdown, Julian examines the figure Statistics Canada released on a single Friday morning—a cumulative 112,000 jobs lost in just four months, the worst start to any year since the 2009 recession outside the pandemic, with unemployment climbing to a six-month high of 6.9 percent. The deeper story is one of policy, leverage, and consequence. Julian traces how the work didn't disappear so much as migrate south, and how Ottawa matched Trump's tariffs, stood up a two-billion-dollar fund, then walked back its retaliatory measures while Japan, the U.K., the E.U., and South Korea all secured preferential trade terms. The fallout is already reaching ordinary households: Ontario food-bank use up 13 percent, projected growth crawling to 1.5 percent, and the squeeze landing hardest on full-time, benefit-bearing jobs in Quebec and Montreal. Against this backdrop, 302,000 Albertans have signed to force a referendum on separation, a sign of how far public frustration has spread. This is an analysis of a nation being hollowed out—not by one bad month, but by a pattern its leaders insist is a plan. Turn on notifications to stay updated! 🔔🔔🔔
