    Being Canadian I look around me and all I see are jobs advertised.
    Things are getting desperate here and there is nobody to fill the
    jobs. Restaurants are having to close at 5 pm because they have no
    one to work the dinner hours. It is sad that some business owners
    have gone to Mexico to bring people up to Canada to work. What is
    happening??? I know a few oil drillers and workers for the crew and
    they can work all year round if they like, there is that much oil -
    so why do we pay through the nose for it? Gold has once again been
    discovered in new mines in Northern B.C. and Alberta - but there is
    nobody to mine it? So why is it so expensive to purchase it? The
    Swiss have not helped in any way but they do have to get rid of
    $500,000 million dollars of gold within the next few years. Does that
    mean we are going to be getting it cheaper? Nope it means the price
    is still going to go up. Since our dollar has been getting stronger I
    thought that I might purchase some items from across the line. Well
    it turns out the Master Card hasn't heard about the dollar rising or
    they are just not willing to let the cash cow go. The economy will
    only stand for so much and then it crashes. Is that what we are in
    for? I make 18K gold necklaces, original, one of a kind pieces yet
    the people are still wavering over a 18K plated necklace from China.
    You are damned if you do and damned if you don't. Guess I will have
    to try to find a part time job now.
