I refer to my original post also. Detroit was the place I furnished my derogatory statement.
Would you care for a duel sir? Toothpicks at 40 paces.

Ooh, you're using a BlackBerry with a wireless connection! I didn't realise Halifax was so technically advanced.

Shouldn't that be technologically advanced.

You're right steve, but I can't say it when it's spelt like that!

Yes, I am one of a small handfull of BlackBerry users - even RIM has a substantial operation here (but sadly we don't have much of a dying auto industry if that's the sort of thing you look for in an area)

Well we might as well start getting your vocabulary Canadianized.

Oh by the way we don't use "spelt" it's "spelled" don't know why it just never caught on. Mind if enough of you lot come over it'll find it's way into the language somehow.

I go down to Windsor/Detroit area every few months (my in-laws live in MI) I also have family in Windsor, I have to say 4 years ago it was a pretty prosperous place, 4 years on its seems to going down hill, I was just down there for the holiday weekend and it was my first visit in 6 months and in MI I see that business/people are selling up and moving to different states/provinces.
The American car manufactures aren’t doing so well these days and I would a say 50% or more people work for them in the Windsor/Detroit area, so when their losing money everyone else suffers also. Windsor will always be a special place to me because it was first place I visited in Canada and so many other goods things have happened there for us but I don’t see local economy getting better anytime soon
