Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

What’s interesting is that they call it a warning sign, because it’s a “non-confirmation”, meaning the transportation index is contrary to the DJIA.
One possibility might be that the nature of the loads being carried has changed, and more value can be moved with fewer trucks/railcars. Say, more laptops, fewer washer-dryer sets.
I stress that this is only a possible explanation, not a probable one. Maybe we will see the leftists trumpeting this.
If these statistics included transport by sea then it might mean less offshore imports. Just saying from ignorance of the context of the graph.

Everything else is manipulated. Why should the transportation index be an exception?
Different people feeding different information into seperate computers will usually get results like this. Ask the IPCC. Garbage in….garbage out. They would get far clearer results if they just tapped into all the fuel suppliers across the country.
