Ontariwoe

Ontario the have-not province.


Between April, 2006, to April, 2008, Ontario lost 130,000 manufacturing jobs.

Consider Windsor. Its unemployment levels have shown no net growth since the end of 2002, when the Canadian dollar started rising. Over the past five years, building permits have dropped 75% and new-home prices are up only 1.3%, compared with an average rise of 38% in the rest of the country.
