How come the rest of the country did wonderful with a dollar at full strength but ON couldn't?
Should be interesting with the lower fuel prices. I believe there is an opportunity for Ontario to turn things around, although I wouldn't put down any money that the scandalous Liberal government in charge will make any real gains. Nope, spend and spend will be their motto, with a smidgeon of blame Harris and a helping of its Harper's fault and perhaps they will so enrage Ontarian's that they will vote them out and either vote the NDP or perish the thought a Conservative government on. What have they got? Four years?
In four years there will be a correction in crude and oil will again climb dramatically. I wish I had a couple hundred grand to invest in the energy markets right now. They're only going to drop a bit more before this turns around.
Raw Resources & energy don't suffer from currency being strong.
Obviously China's manufacturing benefits enormously from devaluation of it's currency.
Our manufacturing is the same.
Ontario was built to manufacture, the rest of the country is built to extract resources.
Turning Ontario into resource mining would be ideal.
Which is something Steven wants to do.
Ring of fire.......

It's not the 1970s any longer is it?. Is that why it takes 1970s crap exchange rates for ON to get by? No modern industry?
China wasn't in the equation in 1970
And besides, It's no use. The rest of Canada is in the energy/resource sector. We can't really be both .
Ontario needs to follow the rest of the country.

Heavy industry came to Ontario to set up on cheaper land with low-cost hydro-electric power. Somewhere along the way - what with ridiculously-costed power plants with 25-year lifespans and hundred-year mortgages at the expenses of maintenance and customer services - hydro's debt got higher. The logical step might have been pass on cost to the customer - but then those protestors outside Pickering would get bigger ... and more publicity.
The part about "at cost" in the old 1906 Law was glazed over. Hydro rates stayed down. Darlington was born. I have never seen figures - what did it cost to cancel half a nuclear power plant and one whole oil burner at Wesleyville?
Management? For its worth, it cost more than the foundation that supported it. Still, the ranks thinned. Service suffered. Rates stayed artificially low.
Then came the cowboy who opened the gate
Then came the cattle
There went the grain field....
No illusion of security any more. Ontario addie doesn't mean "Head Office" today.
There's an answer????
No, the rest rest of the country isn't resources/energy. The rest of the Country has been f-cked over on infrastructure to get manufactured and produced goods overseas and into the US. MB and SK have inland ports being built to move massive amounts of goods coming in and going out. We have food out the yin yang that can be processed on the spot instead of being milled and processed in ON for only US markets. Manufacturing in the west is growing at a wicked rate but you hear little because ON's suffering fills a news broadcast. The Feds/Provinces/Private have dumped massive amounts of money into BC Ports, highways and rail to finally get goods overseas with ease.
The Asia Pacific Gateway is the modern equivalent of the CPR trans continental railway being built 125 years ago.
Canada's export future is f-cking amazing. We have no worries at all. We are talking millions and millions of jobs.
The explosion in Western manufacturing will be the best thing to ever happen to Ontario manufacturers when they move west to access the Asian markets with ease.
Lake Michigan for sure!
We have a population of 35 million and yet the powers that be are putting the kibosh on importing foreign workers. Who the f**k is running this f**king ship? Where are these workers going to come from. Our natural population growth is +/- zero. Methinks someone needs his head looked at!
Yes.
Ontario needs a new vision, and a smart plan. I agree
Let's ride that.
