Canada's Government goes on vacation during crises

Except that its not just manufacturing that is melting down in Ontario. Virtually every sector is in trouble, finance is a disaster, and retail ..... well I expect many chain stores to close up sometime by Feb/Mar of next year, many have already announced they are closing.

Manufacturing is 16% of the economy, but provides Millions of jobs and has lost nearly 400,000 since harper took the reigns.

Agriculture doesn't employ alot of people anymore, nor for any length of time. Food Processing is being reduced in Ontario... so even more jobs are lost.

And as you are well aware, there are bigger farms and a Hell of a lot less farmers and that is never going change.

And factory farms are a different beast.

Therefore, you still require a large capital outlay to get into farming and the returns are not always something to write home about.

Farming is part time affair, and most farmers are now in their high 50s and their sons, if they take it over, usually rely on a Toyota/Cami/Ford/GM or tier 1,2,3 job to supplement their income.

I would even hazard a guess, that you neither employ alot of people nor farm without another income.

Agribusiness however does employ a lot of people, so does food processing. There are a lot of jobs dependant on it.

I'm talking about either working as a laborer, or getting jobs with ag companies.

I run a bare bones outfit. And do custom work to supplement income and pay bills.

Well for what its worth, I have interests to a brand new ethanol plant. Lower corn prices is a good thing..., but it still looks like a money loser. At least some people will be working, and you know, If worst comes to worst, turn it into a brewery and drink our troubles away

We only have to wait two months for them to prepare it.

Which will be faster than any liberal government has prepared a budget.

They never had to close parliment down to make one...

NO other G7 Country using this tactic of dealing with an economic crises to prepare their budget.

No other G7 nation has opportunists in their government trying to seize power amidst an economic crisis either.

This mess will be over in a little bit as the market corrects itself.

That's where you might be wrong. This prediction that Canada might be out of this in 2010 might be optimistic.

Having that attitude helps a person get through messes like this a lot faster. I believe it, you know reputable sources have mentioned that.
