Hi wandering.  Good to know at least one of your academic credentials...but that makes me all the more incredulous when I read this statement "Studies show...Canadian youth, young adults, immigrants and marginalized works...lose jobs due to the competition."

I'd love to see those studies.  Maybe you misinterpreted them.  NOBODY ever lost anything "due to the competition." SOMEBODY is getting those jobs.  If not some of the people in the categories you list, then WHO??  And more to the point, HOW did they get those jobs?  It's not all "connections" and nepotism. People lose because they simply don't know how to compete effectively. Don't blame "the competition."
