People are resisting change because Charcha means discussion. This is a discussion forum and not copy/paste forum. You copy/paste anything without your comment or input then people are going to object, be it bombarding the forum with random Whatsapp forwards, random email forwards, random news articles with just a link with no comments of your own, bombarding the forum with random jobs in US, etc. I know this ties your hands but in essence it is a discussion forum, discuss with respect - not personal attacks. If you want to copy/paste stuff without any input from you, this probably is not the site for you. You can do so in your Facebook, Whatsapp groups or copy all your Facebook message to Whatsapp group and vice-versa, etc.
As for the jobs you posted, do you really think someone with 8 years of Software Testing experience, 10 years of Java experience and BA with 10 years of experience who specializes in Finance and Mortgage cannot go to job sites themselves and apply? What are the chances these people are struggling to find jobs? All these job postings are in US through a recruiter, so how come they are going to help someone with their first job in Canada? You were guaranteeing jobs within one month for IT people in Canada if they apply through Workopolis and Monster, now you coming to CD and posting all senior level IT jobs located in US claiming to "help people."
The jobs you have posted are not at all aimed at new immigrants in Canada. There is no point in pulling totally RANDOM jobs from job sites, facebook, etc., and posting them on CD.
Purpose of jobs section was to help people if you have jobs in your company where you can refer or you are creating jobs in your company or business, you can post here. There is also a separate section on CD for jobs http://canadiandesi.com/jobs.php" target="_blank">http://canadiandesi.com/jobs.php</a>
If someone does not know how to apply for jobs, need help with resumes, etc., they really need to attend job search workshops conducted at various newcomer help centers.
There are lot of agencies like Dixie-Bloor who can help new immigrants with their job search, polishing resumes, etc. http://www.dixiebloor.ca/" target="_blank">http://www.dixiebloor.ca/</a> Posting random senior level IT jobs in US is of no help to new immigrants.

How about people who took break of say 10-15 yrs and now thy are looking for job opportunities?? Things esp networking changes over a period of time.
Wat u are telling is networking which is called vashila/influence in India. This is democratic country and everybody should hv equal chance of getting employment. don't u think so?

I'll suggest two paths by which someone can make an impact by posting job opportunities:
1. If you are a hiring manager who has direct influence/control in hiring for your team in your organization, by all means, post that opportunity. You control the outcome for the most part and therefore, it is of reasonable benefit to potential candidates. I've had the opportunity to hire one candidate (off CD) to my team through this method.
2. If you have, and are in regular communication with a recruiter or two (or worked with a recruiter through which you were hired in the past), where the recruiter is contacting you in the hopes of finding a candidate you might know within your industry/field, then perhaps there is some benefit in posting that opportunity.
I get almost daily emails from several recruiters promising grandiose jobs, but most of them are leeches who want you to do their jobs. I also have a few recruiters (3 in specific) with whom I am in regular contact and connected through social websites. One of them has found me a job in the past, and the other two have obtained interviews in the past.
I have posted a few of these positions on CD, and I have received responses from potential candidates. In this case, I have no control over whether the candidate would get hired, but I have been given the leeway to offer opinion whether a potential candidate might be a good fit or not.
