The economy in Ontario is a mixed bag. Low interest rates and an irrational desire to own a home at any price has continued to drive construction, but you have to believe that will eventually come to an end, even in this free money economy.

Manufacturing has been gutted over the last 10 years. Though there is still a reasonably large auto manufacturing base there has been steady downward pressure on wages and benefits.

Despite the housing boom, growth has been, and will continue to be tepid.

I'm thankful that I am working for a large manufacturer supplying parts for a popular vehicle. I would not want to be looking for work in this environment and at my age.
