  1. Dang, it’s those nasty Conservatives keeping their hands off the private sector again! Can the MSM make a scandal out of this?

  2. Wish I could be pleased with/part of that news…hubby’s job in road construction inspection ended in Nov/11…infrastructure in Ontario is dead.

  3. They will if possible. Despite all the evidence of good management, the latest boondoggles from the Government side of the house will be used to good effect against them. If they don’t clean it up in the next couple of years, the low information voter will assume the Liberals/NDP have it right and we will be looking at a change in government. As I say, despite the evidence.

  4. Those ‘previous three months’ were possibly the new hires at NSA, and IRS, eh?

  5. Canadian bank shares are cheap these days, particularly for companies that have a reputation for being well run.
    I presume this is because the Canadian housing market is seen as over priced. A deflating house market tends to hurt bank profits.
    For a while, however, the housing market catastrophe will have to wait.

  6. Where’s LAS?
    The LAS who says that PM Harper’s economic reforms don’t exist/are trivial and that his accomplishments in the past seven years are pap.

  7. Not a good situation when a large number of US jobs are being created in service of the totalitarian state. My network penetration tests are done solely for my own curiosity and I’d never do them for a totalitarian agency.
    Perhaps we’re seeing the same type of “jobs” that were created in Germany in 1934+ when all one had to do was to join the Wehrmacht and get free meals, a bed to sleep in and invigorating physical work with opportunities to travel to exotic locations. No untermenschen need apply, but it sure did help solve Germany’s chronic unemployment problems back then. Likely homeland security and various other statist agencies are hiring right now and, given the dismal knowledge of the average US voter of the US constitution, it probably doesn’t take much persuasion to make these individuals into unthinking tools of the state.

  8. The NSA are the folks involved with the monitoring of all communications in the US… I thought it was monumental poor timing given the current scandals.
    & completely agree with the idea that gov’t agencies are not the sort of employment growth areas to be pursuing, more so at this moment.

  9. In tourist localities, the usual summer jobs were being filled in May.
    The figure would mean more if they could identify how many are full-time positions.
    And, are they all minimum wage?
    In my area, it will be summer jobs at minimum wage.

  10. Uh, you’re not sure what my point is, LAS?
    You don’t think that the biggest job gains in Canada in 11 years, when most economies are floundering with increasingly high unemployment rates — check out the Obamanation’s latest stats — demonstrate effective economic reforms on the part of the CPC government? ‘You think these job gains don’t represent an accomplishment for PM Harper and his government? Biggest job gains in 11 years are “pure pap”?
    Do explain.

  11. If policy and rhetoric is any indication, Mulcaire and the Pony Boy are going to do their damnedest to reverse any job gains and economic prosperity – what is it with sheltered socialist envyists tht makes them hate people making a good living?

  12. For our poor benighted American friend, this can be explained in two words: HOPE and CHANGE.
    Thank you B. Obama!
    Not that any of the folks receiving welfare and free handouts care. They just want their entitlements.
    Sad!

  13. 1) What reforms?
    2) No, this demonstrates nothing except that you aren’t good at thinking. These job gains are in spite of Harper’s statist economic agenda.

  14. Thanks for whiny non-rebuttal. You’ve made my point.
    PS the bulk of these job gains were in Ontario. Does this vindicate McGuinty’s ‘reforms’? No, because correlation does not equal causation.

  15. A premier’s effect on the economy can only be seen over the ourse of 4 or more years.
    Even PMSH’s detractors must concede the national economy is responding as he claimed it would in he wake of the new fiscal and regulatory policies of his government. Furthermore, he has changed the tenor of the govrnment’ s attitude from hostility to private investment, to praise and encouragement of it. Businessman and investors are forward looking, and they are voting with their dollars when planning capital projects or new ventures in Canada.
    Compare with the crappy growth in the 5th year of Obamba’s Amerika. New jobs – or their lack – almost always arise solely from new private investment, or its absence

  16. Not a joke…ouch?!
    LAS…I call bs on your statement “bulk of the job gains were in Ontario”….I know far too many unemployed in Ontario.
    Where are the stats?
