Daniel,

    Things are not quite the same boat here, every body is talking about
    how strong the economy is, the Canadian dollar is up, not only
    against the US dollar but against the Pound and the Euro. The price
    of metal is up even more and is the price of oil, but that's what is
    driving our country as we have lots of holes in the ground to pull
    the stuff out of. Gas is still about a $1 a litre but food is getting
    cheaper, only industry making loud complaints in the news is auto
    manufacturers as those jobs are all going south of the boarder now*.
    Yes jobs have been slowly draining away to Asia for a while, but I
    don't know, something just seems off so I was wondering what
    everybody else was seeing here. 

Cheers,
Norah Kerr
