now the PM is responsible for the Internet taking away readers buying papers, since the paper has been laying off and losing money for quite sometime now, where was you distaste for Harper doing nothing about it? 

Your expectation are very large and completely out of wack

 

I have several friends in the printing business and all have struggled for near a decade.  If it wasn't for the flyers they print all would be out of business.

Torstar said the 110 positions that were eliminated related to “Metroland [Media]’s closing of a small printing plant and to the closing of a small mail room,” and said they will result in $5.3 million in annualized savings.

my buddies are next

 

We are entering a new era (again) so you will see many older ways going away, from newspapers to video stores to cd stores.  According to you its Trudeau's fault

next it will be BELL as it drops home phone service in the near future, young people don't get phone lines anymore.  Cable losing out to internet streaming, young people are not getting cable either. 

 

Bob talked about this 50 years ago

Another lying Tard, who could have guessed.  And yes he is one of the more capable ones, but huge experience?  He became a politician and then lies about his accomplishments, a true Liberal indeed. 

Thing is guy was respected did not need to tell , its like second nature for these Leftards

Maybe the writing is on the wall for Canada's version of Pravda?

more bad news

Canadian exports rebounded to a record high in March on energy and consumer goods such as red lentils, narrowing the trade deficit more than predicted.

Key Points

• The merchandise trade deficit shrank to $135 million from a revised $1.08 billion in February, Statistics Canada said Thursday in Ottawa. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg had forecast a deficit between $550 million and $1.8 billion, with a median of $1 billion.
• Exports rose 3.8 per cent to a record $47 billion, rebounding from a 2.5 per cent drop in February. Energy shipments climbed 7 per cent to $8.75 billion and consumer goods by 6.8 per cent to $6.12 billion.
• Imports rose for a fourth straight month in March, by 1.7 per cent to $47.1 billion.
• The “other food products” grouping rose 12 per cent to a record $1.4 billion on sales of yellow peas and red lentils to India.

 

 

The Canadian economy posted a third consecutive month of solid growth in January, led by the manufacturing sector.

GDP rose by 0.6 per cent in the first month of the year compared to December, Statistics Canada said, a result that beat economists’ expectations of a 0.3 per cent expansion. Growth was widespread across both goods- and service-producing industries, with the manufacturing sector providing the largest contribution at 1.9 per cent.

The oil and gas sector also posted gains.

 

The economy has grown by at least 0.3 per cent in seven out of the past eight months, Porter noted.  “To put that in perspective, that’s nearly double the average monthly move over the past 15 years of 0.17 per cent,” he wrote.

Since mid-2016, Canada has grown at a 4.3 per cent annual rate, the fastest pace since the early stages of the recovery after the financial crisis of 2008-2009.

 

 

 

nothing to see here

[1trailmaker]

Given what Porter called “a rip-roaring start” to the year, BMO updated its 2017 forecast for GDP growth from 2.3 per cent to 2.5 per cent.

“We now see Canadian GDP growth outpacing the U.S. in 2017,” wrote Porter. BMO’s current forecast for U.S. GDP growth in 2017 is 2.4 per cent.

 

O'leary claimed he could get those numbers 1 year after the next election

[1trailmaker]

 

Employment grew by 19,400 jobs in March, an increase of 0.1 per cent, according to Statistics Canada. But a rise in the number of people looking for work added to the unemployment rate, which rose by 0.1 points from 6.6 per cent.

Economists had expected job gains, but not to this degree. On average, economists surveyed by Bloomberg had expected the Canadian economy to add 5,930 new jobs for the month.

The March jobs report follows a string of monthly job gains. Canada added 15,000 jobs in February, and an unexpected 48,000 jobs in January.

 

horrible numbers

Boosts in manufacturing, Alberta

After falling in 2016, manufacturing employment increased by 24,400 positions in March. Statistics Canada described that as "the largest one-month increase in manufacturing since August 2002."

Still, Canadian employment in manufacturing has declined by about 27 per cent since a high point in the early 2000s.

 

 

we seem to be doing very well in manufacturing

 

 

 

[1trailmaker]

Part of the overall gains in employment can be attributed to an increase in self-employment, which increased by a net 18,400 positions on a monthly basis. Statistics Canada's definition of self-employment includes unpaid workers for family businesses.

"Typically we actually prefer to see employers hire, rather than people declaring themselves to be self-employed," CIBC chief economist Avery Shenfeld told CBC News. 

"But if you actually looked at the hiring numbers, it was the public sector that was shedding some jobs. The private sector was still showing a lot of optimism. So we're encouraged by that. "

 

 

AC do you have different info on this   you have us just by the cliff in a wind storm

[1trailmaker]

 

 

[1trailmaker]

Manufacturing must be doing well as wages are up - 40hr week that is  5200 a year

[1trailmaker]

More good Conservative numbers being bragged about

 

That added 4% by Trudeau is killing us (95% today)

Harper raised that 25% from when he took over

 

doom and gloom sets over Canada

[1trailmaker]

well I guess those stats aren't what we want posted here so lets get back to the circle jerk.  Sorry guys

 

Cash-for-access is back. Justin Trudeau is set to resume the high-priced fundraising events that proved so controversial for the Liberals when it emerged the party was raising millions of dollars through elite fundraisers attended by the prime minister in private homes.

The Liberals put the events on hold until they had taken steps to bring in new guidelines to make the events more transparent and accessible.

However, “An evening with Justin Trudeau” at Montreal’s Museum of Fine Arts Thursday will be followed by an event at the Vancouver Hotel on May 18. Tickets for the Montreal event top out at $250, while attendees can “enjoy appetisers, drinks and conversation with fellow Liberals” for the bargain price of $500.

 

what a fucker

[1trailmaker]

well going on Economics conservatives can't win, so do the next best thing and that is blame them for our own blunders.  First BOLD is funny coming from the CPC site, certainly didn't poll anyone here

 

Public servants work hard, and the Liberals are failing them.

You may have heard about the catastrophic failure known as the “Phoenix fiasco.”

Despite warning signs the new Phoenix payroll system wasn’t ready, the Liberals chose to move ahead with its implementation anyway.

And the fallout from that decision?

 

• More than 80,000 federal employees negatively affected
• Tens of thousands of employees have been underpaid, or not paid at all
• Credit rating, child support, rent and mortgage payments – all negatively impacted.
• Thousands of incorrect T4 slips have been issued, with an expected $140 million to be clawed back from overpayments.

And the Liberals answer to fix these issues?

To create a “working group” of Liberal Ministers and throw a cool $140 million tax dollars at the problem they’ve sat back and watched unfold for over a year.

Canadian workers deserve to be paid what they are owed and on time.

And Canadian taxpayers shouldn’t be on the hook for the Liberal government’s own screw-ups!

Sign here if you agree:

on the above

something better be done soon so these people get their money.  Strange how its 20% of the payroll and not all of it

[02sled]

Only in government could this happen. Typical process for the implementation of a new system. 3 levels of testing and simulation before you go to a change management review. In the review the first question is what is your back out plan should it not work. They had a working system. As soon as the implementation failed they should have backed out of the change. Piss poor planning and execution.

[ArcticCrusher]

Fail,

 

Harper is responsible for the Federal government's debt and he has contained that to about 30%.  The rest well is well . . . . .

to say the least.

IBM should be ashamed....

[ArcticCrusher]

We used to hear about Harper and the fear of him taking away our rights from the lefties all the time.  So now we are hearing that cops will be allowed to enter your home without warrant or cause and demand a breathalyzer or sample up to two hours after you have driven.  All for changes to accommodate pot.  If this isn't a charter violation I don't know what is.

Not many here were against Harper's search at will idea.  What have you got to hide was the answer.  I was against that and am against this... 

This has nothing to do with POT it has to do with MADD and the amount of booze impaired drivers that are suppositive  on the road everyday.  Reading what is proposed seems a stretch to even consider.  What if you don't answer the door?  do they break it down? 

You won't see this as law

You're not bringing this up though.  It's worse than anything Harper could have imagined.

I am against this 100% for the record
