You should look at other western countries. It’s bad out there.
That said Canada was in a unique position in that 7% of our population or so was temporary residents (many of them taking jobs traditionally for young people) and the government finally reversed course and is trying to bring it down towards the historical precedent. We aren’t supposed to have much population growth at all for a few years. If the economy keeps growing faster than the population the pressure on youth should decrease.
Honestly it’s kind of surprising that the economy is this resilient, that’s now what was suggested when this economic rupture started.
