Latest Stats Can figures revealing "staggering" job losses over November and December 2013, with the result that unemployment in Canada is now higher than in the U.S.

Combine this with the poor quality of most of the Harper-jobs created over the past number of years. Part time McJobs and such like, while corporations pull manufacturing and research out of the country at record speed despite Harper's gift (courtesy of Canadian taxpayers) to them of lower corporate tax rates...

We (and Harper) will have to hope that the lower C$ effect will kick in with some economic activity...

Due to seasonality no doubt. Afterall who wants to work in Artic vortex conditions.

I have been working in artic vortex condition my whole life the only difference is up here in the north we just call it cold ....

I used to see minus 50C all the time when I was a kid and had many winters like this when I was a kid .. Last few years have been not so bad until this year it was like I was a kid all over again ..

So funny I laugh at southerners get there extreme weather warning at -14 in Toronto this year ... I shovel my drivewway in track shooes and a sweater at -14C LMAO ...

Harper just sucks ... what you need is ... The late great Jack layton mixed with a trudeau and just a little very very little bit of harper in there and bam we are on our way to a stable economy ...

I do believe in Ontario we are so widely based on Big insustries ...Forest,mining etc that lowering our taqx in Ontario would be great for busy oppurtinity in Ontario ...

But that is just a needle in a haystack

I disagree brandee. Much as I admired Jack Layton and Pierre Trudeau, putting faith in a Srong Man leader is always a recipe for disaster.

A strong economy need a concensus that allows both innovation and regulation. And lots and lots of discussion, arguement and sober second thought.

But single leaders? No.
