Young Canadian here. Personally, it's just hard to find work, and there's no cheaper place than mom's house. My girlfriend lives with her parents. She has a job, but her family is having a hard time finding work themselves.

I'm doing it because it's free, and it's a chance to find a job. If I had a steady job, I'd be out in no time. But goings are tough.

I'm saying job a lot. Live in rural Canada and you'll find that job is the magic word. Lots of people do contracting work up here, for welding and scaffolding and that sort of thing. Lots of people have known the experience of working for a month and never seeing the paycheck as the company goes under.

There's a lot of fuss about the Cite C dam in British Columbia. I think it will be built, no matter the problems, because it means work for the people building it, and those people are people I know. Jobs jobs jobs.

I know this isn't about Canada, and I didn't even read the paywalled article, but I think we're staying home because the economy sucks and there are no jobs.

I've lived at home and I've lived on my own and I'd rather live at home even if the cost was the same. Going home to an empty apartment or roommates that don't care about you is lonely af.
