Jobs were gone a long time ago. It would have been cheaper to put them
on on EI for 10 years. Pretty expensive jobs and 1/2 of them are gone
already anyways.

More to come too, round 2 of the depression coming right at ya.


funny that canada has 30% union membership and 7.4% unemployment

free market US has made it illegal to join unions...7% unions

and 9.2% unemployment


Reply:
Canada is a small population country, with a large holding of Coal and
oil. They are shipping that energy in the raw to China. Most of those
union jobs are in those oil and coal companies. Which are making lots of
money. Lots of the rest of Canada is hurting. Was in BC last summer for
a few weeks. Any thing tourist related is really hurting. Fishing guides
I talked with said their bookings were way down. Lots of empty hotel
rooms also.


Tourism is hurting in BC because of stupid prices driven by taxes. I
live in Alberta, right next to BC, and I save my money for Alaska or
Costa Rica.... I don't travel BC any more. Between depression times
and taxes BC makes no sense.

Might do Montana here shortly as they don't have sales tax for visitors
shopping.
