"the locall born used to have huge advantages. virtually guaranteed the big jobs on bay street"

Um - when was this? I've met probably thousands of people, of all ages, born and raised in Ontario, and of those thousands, maybe three or four had what someone might imagine were "big jobs on bay street". And as far as I could see, they had worked pretty hard to get those jobs, and were working damn hard to keep them. Or to climb up the corporate ladder. Same thing, maybe; I wouldn't know.
