Anything that people want, and nobody is doing. Even if you have a simple skillset, in a city, your skill might be worthless because you are in a flooded market, but your skill might allow you to create a lot of wealth if you lived in a small town in the middle of nowhere. Its all about your mindset... do you need approval of others, can you move around the world, can you learn to drop what you love to focus on what you like? People that are successful are those that are able to act, quickly, without approval of others. If they fail, they don't let that stop them, they try something else, but they at least try to follow through. The worst thing you can do to yourself is never try.

Red Deer Alberta, a guy went out to confront a guy stealing his truck, and was killed by a machete.
Some small town Saskatchewan, some kid did a school shooting 3 months ago.
Quebec in the 90's the Biker Gangs were using RPG's on each other.
Lethbridge Alberta had a tunnel between a couple campus buildings labeled 'the rape tunnel'. Rape rarely happens when the victim is able to defend themselves.
Maple Ridge BC: Robert Pickton (google that name), that is all the reason you need.
Highway of Tears: BC (there is a netflix documentary, but there wouldn't be if those women had the ability to defend themselves against a murderer who may still be on the loose today)
Even the shooting in Quebec that caused our Firearms Act in the first place was enough of a reason to say 'hey, murder is illegal, maybe we shouldn't be disarming people that needed to be armed'.
I do not advocate everyone have a gun. There is idiots out there. That said, I strongly believe that education on firearms is lacking. My father used to take a gun to school because they had a wolf problem (Similar to the aboriginals having polar bear problems right now). Peoples human rights to self defence trump stats and opinions from other people. That is just how it works.
I may not be a fan of the LGBTQ community, but I understand that as long as they are not forcing an opinion on me, they have rights, same goes for the gun community.

No, you are being sarcastic. The root problem is you think its ok to virtue signal with other people's money. You can have a heart all you want, but if you are not personally doing anything about it, what good are you doing? I have similar conversations about this 'use of force' regarding many other situations. Tell me, if a drunk driver runs over some kids with the same type of car as yours, can I vote in a government to take your car away? If a bad doctor does malpractice, can I vote for a government to monopolize and socialize healthcare? If there is bad people in the world (and there always is), can I use other peoples money to fight them in forever court battles?
Do you see where I am going with this? I am successful, and because of this I donate to Charity. I moved to the lowest tax location I could find, and because of this I sponsor two families overseas and host exchange students, as well as run a daycare. (among other things).
The point is, If you start taxing me more, and regulating me more, you take away money that gives me the choice to help other people. So, I'll ask again, what are you doing, yourself, to solve the problem?
Anyone can complain about what other people are going through, grandstand on the internet saying 'Sorry for being sympathetic and having a heart', but if you are not doing anything about it, you are part of the problem.
Stop stealing from me and my friends, we are the job providers. If you keep attacking us, we'll just send more of our wealth overseas where people are less oppressive with their taxation/regulation regimes.

Instead of waiting for someone to provide jobs (pro tip: Its never govenrment), how about you lobby to get government out of the way so its easier for you to be a job provider?
Jobs go away when you force people (regulations, taxation, bylaws) to do things a certian way. This sounds great in theory, but it drives up the costs so high that people are not left freely to create amazing things.
IE: Why Can't I brew beer in my garage, sell to my neighbors, build capital until I can move into a better place? Oh right, some bogus laws from the past (capone days) tell me that its not safe. Meanwhile the neighbourhood kids are doing meth, spite the law, and not really dying off..... thanks government for over-regulating me, and providing no real safety, just added costs.
That was just an example.

No I want to end all corporate and union welfare, as well as lessen regulations so smaller companies can form easier. If you and I can be job providers, we can take away from the monopolies.
Right now, I brew beer in my house/garage. Its healthy, doesn't kill anyone, and easy to make. Yet if I wanted to sell to someone (right now I give to my friends for free), the government will put me in jail. The taxes and trade cartels have put a government mandated management on my ability to start a company.
First they want me to open up shop in a Comercial setting, not my house. That will cost about one million dollars....
Then they want me to follow local bylaws regarding handicapped washrooms, lighting, emergency exitcs etc... that will be anywhere between $10k-$60k pending on the location I find.
Then they want to control the distribution. Meaning I Can't directly sell to my customers, I have to go to a 3rd party cartel to distribute. ...costs, higher each year as the EPA and other environmental levies on petrol trafficking. (sorry, I can't ship my beer via my smart car or tesla...government made that illegal)
Then they want me to pay more tax than everyone else because its a 'sin tax'. Beer, Smokes, get taxed more.... all hail glorious government.
So yeah, when I say conservative, I mean fuck the government. They are making it impossible for you and I to get into the market. They are driving up the costs of doing business, and thus, this allows monopolies to form.... without any real competition.
I've actually considered moving from Canada down to Colorado, simply because that state allows people like me to sell directly to customers. IE, Not illegal to drive it over to liquor stores, stadiums, etc.
Do you get it yet? That is what FIscally Conservative is about. Untie my hands so I can be a job provider. Stop protecting monopolies.

***** Intelligence is also not determined by race either. If you study cultures, you'll realize that as the world 'went about its daily grind', technology and information was passed slowly, but areas did share information. See, that is why you notice that each continent is filled with a slight difference, yet similar 'upbringing' In Europe, we adapted from Roman, before that, Greek, before that, Sumarian
In Asia, they also had their empires, and their trade, and it passed down from various dynasties.

CAT Canada was the last one that came to mind. The union was too costly up here, and the dollar was lower in the US than up here, so they simply couldn't afford all the workers, and thus shut the entire facility down in Ontario, went down south and hired people in the US cheaper. (yes, that's not overseas).
GM's Union also helped close down factories in Detroit. You'll notice that GM is trying hard to get into the Chinese market, with building the cars over there as well. This means they don't have to offer bloated retirement packages they cannot afford (reference, Robert Kiyosaki's 'the prophecy' from 2002)
Lockheed Martin also outsourced many electronics of the F35 to China.
Kellogs was another one.
All unionized (I didn't notice that until after I posted them, just a strange coincidence)
The free market will prevail, and its unfortunate that people hold onto it and the faith that government will somehow make it better for people. Truth is, globalization has happened, we can't stop it, we can only try to compete in it, and I know Canada does it better, faster, and more environmentally sound than other people. Lets have a Deflation, and help bring the costs of things down, so its remarkably cheap to live, and we can have technological advances here, instead of overseas.

Sorry, You are asking what regulations? ...Really, the regulations of safety such as 'A car needs to have XXX airbags', Therefore the car companies have greater costs. Workers need to work more, or plants need to be re-tooled. These regulations just killed off any potential for you and I to ever start our own car company.
Other regulations in Canada are our environmental laws such as Directive 50 (I personally worked with this one and environmentalists). It costs money to have a Me and an environmentalist on a drilling site, testing fluids and 'babysitting' people to get a job done. The rules are made in a lab by people that don't work in the field. So The environmentalist and I are both making over $120k per year, those costs get driven down to the consumer, making our oil more expensive than lets say , Saudi Arabia whom charges $50/bbl because they don't care about lives, environment or any of that stuff that we do.
At the end of the day, its not government, or regulation that makes the area safe or happy, its workers. Individuals.

***** Solar and wind technology rely on materials mined from the earth using diesel excavators. THen those goods are shipped around the world by diesel ships, trains and trucks. Probably to a factory powered by Coal in China, because activists in the 70's drove up the costs of Nuclear energy...then those goods get transported back to consumers, who don't have enough money to buy them because you just used your activism to kill the fossil fuel industry, that helped set this whole thing in motion.
Please grow up, realize that all technology relies on each other, and until we get past that hump, we need fossil fuels. Carbon taxing them, or regulating them drives up the costs, and makes it harder for you and I to afford 'green' technology. I'm looking to buy a solar roof right now, I can get down to $2/watt. ...I want to see a day when its $0.10/watt. That will come via capitalism, and less govenrment interaction in a global economy, so people like you and I can usher in this technology and live by example.

Communism never happened. I'll explain, because I read books...
You have people that tried to usher in Marxist ideologies and a communist utopia where everyone is equal. Some of these are elected democratically, others are through revolution.
What happened in every situation is once you overthrow the 'rich oligarchy', you are left with many people that don't know what to do, so they then either empower a government to 'administer' all that equality, or those people simply take power.
So, now you've just created a two class society. Government (gets paid by taxation, IE your labour) and then everyone else. Gee, what ever could go wrong?
PRO TIP; Communism has never happened, and neither has Capitalism. The difference though is that Capitalism empowers the individual to have choice, Communism creates a culture where individuality doesn't matter, and that (through force, democratically or otherwise) you are bullied to be a product of your peers.
So, good luck with that. Millions starved under Mao, including some of my friends family.
