Saw ~10 come and go when working on Buildforce. One entered our space with ~$700M in funding at the time when we had ~$1M and they failed. All felt like they had a chance at taking us out at the time.

Toujours un plaisir de s’asseoir avec BuildForce Canada pour discuter de leur important travail de prévision des besoins du marché du travail et de recrutement de la prochaine génération de travailleuses et travailleurs de métiers spécialisés. Grâce à notre investissement historique de 6 milliards de dollars dans les métiers spécialisés, nous formons les travailleuses et travailleurs de demain et bâtissons les bases d’un Canada plus fort et plus prospère.

Great to sit down with BuildForce Canada to discuss their important work forecasting labour market needs and recruiting the next generation of skilled trades workers. With our historic $6 billion investment in the skilled trades, we are training the workers of tomorrow and building the foundation for a stronger, more prosperous Canada.

Based on 2025 research, women in Canadian construction trades continue to face significant barriers, including high rates of harassment, bullying, and exclusion, which hinder recruitment and retention efforts despite a growing demand for skilled workers. A 2025 survey found that while representation is slowly improving, a "double stigma" exists, making the work environment hostile for women. ( Buildforce Canada)

Even if I accepted your premises as true, the logic still wouldn’t hold. Canada’s housing shortage comes from a 30-year construction gap, not from ‘millions’ suddenly arriving which isn’t happening. And construction isn’t stalled because of who works in it, but because we lack over 100,000 skilled tradespeople, according to CMHC and BuildForce. As for identity: being a Canadian citizen and leading a cultural organization aren’t contradictions. They’re normal in a country built on civic, not ethnic, belonging. You’re calling your assumptions ‘facts,’ but the only thing they consistently reveal is the framework you’re using not the reality we’re actually discussing.

no slaves at all built the pyramids, because the concept was foreign to the kingdom at this time (though it did exist in Šumeru & Akkadē). The buildforce consisted of skilled stonemason guilds which were generously fed and housed by the Pāru Ҁaᴣ, as all royal enterprises are
