Carbon tax across Canada will hit hard, Coal shut down in the West and Power supplier sell off in the East will double down the show.

Oh well, green city's will choose the wrong path as they find out that the lights will get turned off as they work in the dark putting up the "Broke and for Sale signs." Ha.

Canada will be an expensive place to live, and we ain't seen nothering yet.

Pessimistic, Optimistic or Realistic depending on what hour or day I use my noodle.

something is going on for sure. Getting rail space from Edmonton to P.Rupert for sea cans is crazy! Need to move 200 x '20 ft ctrs between now and February to China and tough to get er done. Very frustrating!

Still busy in trucking hired 10 new guys in the last 6 weeks shuffled some trucks around between terminals bought 6 new ones.....didn't make a dent still flat out turning work away

Was reading about the housing market today predicting a house crash in 2017 because all the mortgage heavy people are going to be selling out from trying to ride out the storm after selling their toys, vehicles, giving up vacations still carrying to much debt and will be forced to sell out .

Sad but not surprising.....
The fact is the economic stimulus plan the Libs thought would work .... Didn't !
Now , deeper in debt and putting our economy head to head against an unbridled US economy is not a pretty sight ....

Interesting as the Baker Hughes rig count shows 0 while BOE report shows 2 for eastern Canada?
