    “For a couple of years, Mahmoudian worked as a home energy advisor — a self-contractor who says he used to put in 70-hour weeks. However, most of the government incentives that sustained that work, including the Canada Greener Homes Loan program, have ended, and business has dried up”

    That paragraph says an awful lot, if you read what is NOT said. Reads like he made his money in the past by sweet talking people into applying for government handouts. Government money dried up, and he has no skills to work at a ‘real’ job.

    I really think they picked the wrong person to highlight in the article to make their point.

      Ring ding ding. That’s what all these people who can’t find work after putting in 100s of applications have in common. No actual real skills, no ability to perform, bad attitudes. Fuck had a guy come in all “Yeah I’m the best at this and that” told him to take a hike after a week because he was shit.

      Those consultants in that role are functionally and practically useless.

          They don’t answer emails or calls, and when they do answer emails they are incomprehensible, like: “Send form X-3H9119” with no explanation.

          Fuck those consultants. But also fuck the system that created them.
