‘Things are going to get a whole lot worse’
The London region has recorded the highest unemployment rate among Canada’s large cities for April, reaching 9.2 per cent, according to the latest figures released by Statistics Canada.
The month saw a loss of 1,800 jobs in the area, which includes London, St. Thomas and Strathroy.
The statistics paint a challenging economic picture, with experts warning of further declines.
” … with experts warning of further declines…..
Here, let me finish that for you:
…. the same further declines we non-experts have been predicting for a decade.
One does not need a watch to know what time it is…
5/4 Experts can’t Brain good.” Educated, “, not Smart.
Including St Thomas?
Why that can’t be.
Thats were they are building that ginormous battery plant for Volkswagen that was going to create a bazillion jobs.
Say it ain’t so.
Probably to be built on the grounds of the old Ford Crown Victoria plant. Unfortunate for them that all the cops went SUV.
Amazon warehouse is now where the old Ford plant used to be. They have moved alot of dirt and new roundabouts for the battery plant. We’ll see if the building goes up.
Any idea what they’re doing with the property of the old asylum? It’s too bad PET and his charter eliminated those places. We need them more than ever.
No idea , but it still stands.
There are eight miles if corridors in the place.
Real put a fence around it and some guardtowers .
It would make a great re-education camp.
They would have to fix the roof or worry about asbestos even.
This is all the fault of the evil orange man. So, it’s all good. Just chant “Elbows Up!”, do the chicken dance thingy and Marx Carnage will take care of it.

The Forever Government is the problem, but every swinging dick and honeyed va-jayjay in Banada wants it’s help.

London has elected 2 Liberal MPs – Peter Fragiskatos and Arielle Kayabaga, but 3 Conservatives – Kurt Holman, Leanne Rouded and Andrew Lawton.
As a result of this act of electoral treason they will get no federal help.
Are they actually conservatives, or merely “conservatives”?
Andrew Lawton is an actual conservative, he was with True North media prior to being elected in St. Thomas.

Elbow Pride isn’t a viable economic policy?
Is Eastern Canada a cargo cult of sorts?
The Liberals will bring them free shit and stop the global boiling cataclysm if they do the Elbow Pride Chicken Dance.
” Cargo cults have a wide diversity of beliefs and practices, but typically (though not universally) include: charismatic prophet figures foretelling a coming cataclysm or utopia for followers (a worldview known as millenarianism);[4][2] predictions by these prophets of the return of dead ancestors or other powerful beings bringing the cargo;[1] the belief that ancestral spirits were responsible for the creation of the cargo;[4] and the instruction by these prophets to followers to fulfill the prophecy by either reviving ancestral traditions or adopting new rituals, such as ecstatic dancing or imitating the actions of colonists and military personnel, like flag-raising, marching and drilling.[4]”

L – P.M. Marquis d’Carnage Economique tells the hungry to form breadlines. But instead of loaves of bread, the kneeling supplicants receive only Chinese Fortune Cookies. The little messages contained therein all read: “May you live in interesting times”.
I once had a Chinese Fortune Cookie that redd,
“help! I prisoner in cookie factory!!”/
Received Doug Ford’s fundraising email today claiming, “At a time when Canada is staring down tariffs and real economic uncertainty, our plan to protect Ontario is working.
In April alone, Ontario led the country in job creation, adding 42,400 new jobs, including 8,700 in manufacturing. Adjusted for population, that’s 680 per cent more jobs than the United States added last month.”
That’s called “putting lipstick on a pig”
In reality, at the end of 2025, “Ontario saw the largest unemployment rate increase in the country for the second year running. Ontario had a net loss of approximately 112,000 jobs in the first four months of 2026. The 42,400 jobs added in April only partially offset significant losses earlier in the year.
Lies, damned lies, and statistics.
A few more hundred pounds and he could probably block one of the bridges to the states.
He makes McGuinty , and Wynne almost look like amature progressives .
He’s just pure slime , that says things once in awhile the middle class , and so less retarded boomers like to hear.
“Let them drink syrup!”
Like water off a duck’s back.. Carney still draws a paycheck, and that’s whats most important here.. it’s what he tips the skycaps with when he jets off to to his beloved Europe every other week. He doesn’t feel a damned thing, so you don’t either.. get back in your bread-lines and quit complaining..
“Let them drink syrup”. Are we being played for saps?
Well played, sir..
Speaking of economic data … I have been reading countless stories about how America’s BOOMING stock market is a huge DANGER sign … and the bubble is about to burst. And to lend credibility to this (obviously) anti-Trump hysteria … the prediction is always by some guy who predicted the 2008 world economic crash.
The article I just read cited the fact that Home Depot stock is DOWN 25% off its high as evidence of impending economic (stock market) doom. Funny thing though … the article failed to mention that the insane FED’s clinging to high interest rates had anything to do with the high cost of building anything. They failed to recognize ‘datapoints’ such as the cancellation of 5 Design Review Hearings this year, in my very wealthy community. The reason? Nobody is building anything, and nobody is even planning to build anything. It’s TOO DAMN EXPENSIVE … because of high lending rates, high labor costs, and unfavorable regulations.
So why is Home Depot stock down? Hey idiots! Because it’s too damn expensive to build!
“… the prediction is always by some guy who predicted the 2008 world economic crash..”
I lend no special credence to those who credit themselves with such claims back then either. None but the willfully blind failed to see that coming. The problem was that rather than take on the pain of early corrective measures, they chose to party on with OPM, and demand that the government spigots kept right on flowing..
Yeah … a blind squirrel … could have seen the 2008 economic collapse coming. We had FREE lending … as anyone with a drivers license could get a mortgage … then multiple mortgages … no money down. Idiot investors accumulating huge negative cash flow property portfolios … because no lender was allowed to care. Developers building tracts of homes for people as invisible as Communist China’s Ghost cities … gasoline prices spiking out of control. Contractors bids spiraling into the stratosphere.
Fer crying out loud. As someone with a career in the construction industry since 1976 … the crash was a foregone conclusion. The only part that startled me is why it took so long. It’s not nice to fool economic realities. The nature of economic stupidity is a bitch.
Barney Frank is laying in his hospice bed as we speak. If there is indeed a judgement after life, he (and his ‘boytoy’ prostitute lover) will certainly have a lot to answer for.. I hope that he burns in hell for what he did to the people of this nation ,and ultimately the world, through Freddie Mac. Bubba Clinton can hold his hand and they can burn together for that matter.. Two peas in a rancid pod..
I couldn’t agree more … yet he and Chris Dodd have escaped responsibility… which is exactly why this kind of insanity will eventually repeat. Yeah, I just saw a pic of Barney … yikes! The ravages of AIDS on full display.
We are all supposed to forget that that the genesis of 2008 was the Clinton admin forcing banks to loan money to people whose credit history painted them as unlikely to successfully pay the loan back.
Evidently it’s capitalism’s fault that the financial industry ran with that edict and expanded it to loaning people money in amounts beyond what reasonable assessments of the property being financed would justify.
