Negative
Thankfully , I am an optimist, so I will not despair. I beleive the Canadian economy is slowing down, and the politicians do not want to admit it. In Quebec they are already talking about raising the price of Hydro Electricity, as this is a cash cow and is state owned. This will bring them over 1 billion this year. Another indirect tax , for the highest taxed region in North America.
I am sure the hardest hit areas are Alberta and Southern Ontario, hence that is why we are seeing slower payement from both brokers and carriers based there.
Apparently the staff in the unemployement offices in Quebec are overwhelmed and cannot cope with the new claims. I wonedr what it is like out west?
I beleive things will start turning around early next year, not before.
