Sksman Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 So yesterday an article in Sun read Ontario lagging in job growth. BRINGING UP THE REAR Province lagging behind in job creation Toronto Sun August 31, 2017 ANTONELLA ARTUSO Ontario — the so-called economic engine of Canada — is near the “back of the pack” when it comes to job creation and employment in North America, a new labour market report produced by the Fraser Institute has found. When Fraser researchers looked at five key indicators, including unemployment, the province ranked 44th out of 60 Canadian and American jurisdictions in terms of labour market performance between 2014-16. Charles Lammam, co-author of Measuring Labour Markets in Canada and the United States, said a high-performing labour market means rapid job growth, low unemployment and high productivity. “But that has not been the experience of Ontario workers over the past three years,” he said. “Instead, abysmal labour market performance has hurt workers in the province.” In what he called the saddest and gloomiest statistic, Ontario has the highest rate of long-term unemployment in Canada, with one in five unemployed workers out of a job for 27 weeks or more. Other provinces generally didn’t fare well, either — only Saskatchewan and B.C. were able to crack the top 20 and most were in the bottom 30. Newfoundland and Labrador tied for last with West Virginia. Fraser Institute based its Index of Labour Market Performance on indicators like average total employment growth, worker productivity and the unemployment rate. Ontario scored particularly poorly in worker productivity and was nowhere near the top performer on any of the indicators, according to the report. “In many ways, if we don’t have a strong Ontario, we can’t have a strong Canada,” Lammam said. “It’s really important for Ontario to get things right, particularly when it comes to public policy.” Michigan, which has a manufacturing base which is similar to Ontario’s but a very different approach to labour laws, scored 25th. Lammam said that ranking suggests that government policy has a great deal to do with how well a province does at putting people to work. “High tax rates, rapid debt accumulation, soaring electricity costs — especially in Ontario — higher minimum wages, more stringent labour and environmental regulations: All these things weaken the labour market and ultimately the prosperity of workers,” he said. The Ontario government says it has a number of programs in place to provide grants and loans to companies that produce jobs in the province. According to an Economic Development Ministry statement last fall, its business support programs have helped create and retain 68,501 jobs since 2013. “Direct business support can often be the deciding factor in securing private-sector investment in Ontario. We work diligently to ensure government resources are being spent judiciously, effectively, and in a way that will spur continued growth,” Ontario Economic Development and Growth Minister Brad Duguid said in a statement.

Sksman Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Today they implement new rent control laws. If you own a rental unit and try to evict the tenant so a family member can move you have to pay that tenant a month of rent as a penalty. WTF? So my daughter wants to live in the condo i rent out i have to pay the tenant a month of rent? What is Wynne trying to prove? How she can completely decimate the economy of Ontario before the next election? i know she is pandering for votes of renters but she is now going to decimate the building trades. Why build units if no one will buy for rentals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this stat strange In what he called the saddest and gloomiest statistic, Ontario has the highest rate of long-term unemployment in Canada, with one in five unemployed workers out of a job for 27 weeks or more. We all know they like to pick on ONtario (well until conservatives are in, then it will be good reports) I would like to know who these workers are and what they do/did It stands to figure a large Province will have the most unemployed - that will never change for any long period of time Too many cities in ONtario, look at Peterborough with over 9% unemployed anyway try to post something current before she is gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why build units if no one will buy for rentals? That will suck but this is being done mainly because of Airbnb and other renting media- people are getting kicked out because the owner says he needs it, then next month Airbnb ad is up. While the population grew 9.6 per cent from 1996 to 2011, there has been little increase in the supply of rental housing. Personally if I signed a year rental deal it would be honoured - there would be no need to evict anyone The eviction itself will cost you money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry here is two months notice i am moving. The excuses can be a loss of job. A family illness, whatever it doesnt matter. The tenant can move along. The landlord can try to chase the tenant and take them to court but that is a long tiresome process and in most cases you cant get blood from a stone. If the government wants more rental units built they have to make it more attractive to the landlords to put more on market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it will hold rents down on currently rented units. But in the end landlords are going to reduce the rental units and builders will have less incentive to build. Rentals will decrease and there will be a larger crisis. My family used to have a fair number of rental units. Slowly the hassles are convincing us to sell off units. Now more so.

There really isn't much anybody can do I agree. This problem just like the Traffic issues in Toronto where they campaign and make the road zero traffic. Its not going to happen. Rent control is a good thing, this new added bit it rather useless but its in response to thousands of complaints .. It will back fire because now an owner can kick you out and give you last months rent back and done, no other action can be taken. Seems like a win for the owners that want to enter daily rental market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02sled Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 How about the abysmal performance of students in math. http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/ontario-to-review-school-curriculum-as-student-math-scores-decline-1.3577216 The tests showed that only half of Grade 6 students met the provincial standard in math, unchanged from last year, and 62 per cent of Grade 3 students met the standard, a one percentage point decrease from the previous year. Maybe they should focus less on teaching kids about homosexual lifestyles and methods and focus more on the 3 R's. I heard an interview yesterday comparing what it takes to become a teacher in Quebec compared to Ontario. It's a lot tougher and the education more focussed on teaching skills to become a teacher in Quebec than in Ontario it seems and apparently the students there do a lot better than in Ontario. They were discussing how the math curriculum in Ontario doesn't focus on learning 2 X 2 = 4 (times tables) but more on WHY 2 X 2 = 4. I'm not sure what that means really but I do know you can confuse the heck out of most younger cashiers in a store these days. Your bill comes to $18.37. You hand the cashier a $20 bill and they enter the amount in the register. It tells them the change should be $1.63. Now give them another two quarters ($0.50) and watch most of them scratch their head. They can't figure out that the change should now be $2.13 so you end up with less coin.

Saw this on the CBC last night: http://www.cbc.ca/news/opinion/math-eqao-scores-1.4270882 My brother who has always been good in math (use trig on a regular basis) struggled w/ helping my nephew's math. Thru the years he'd show me new 'methods' of doing simple math. To someone that went to school in the 70s. It may as well been Latin. These 'educators' would try to change Pythagorean Theory if they could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
