North Sea Oil did the same to the GBP and now the Nissan car plant in Sunderland manufacturers more cars than the whole of Italy.

I remember reading (not sure where, so this could be wrong) that women do attempt suicide at similar rates to men, however men tend to do it in ways that get the job done as it were.

The return of the Canadian Peso is a welcome one for the manufacturing sector and other export oriented industries. It's the one silver lining in all of the current mess. Long may it slide downwards.

Re: The dark side of layoffs and bad economy
Why is anyone surprised at the recent fluctuations in the price of oil and the demise of the loonie?
I well remember the rush to Aberdeen when North Sea oil took off. The attraction of well paid employment was a great attraction and, like the Klondike gold rush, this work is predicated on the assumption that it would some day end. Sterling became a petro-currency and the loonie has followed suit and the Bank of Canada, like the Alberta Treasury should have made provision for fluctuations, especially since the removal of Iranian sanctions had been well telegraphed some time ago. What we have here is the usual short-termism exhibited by both government and individual alike. For the individual it can be devastating and life changing, for the politician it's just another opportunity to say 'I told you so' even when he didn't in the expectation that the sheep will believe him. As an engineer who once worked at the Redcar steel plant, the canadian oil worker should realise that there are some who have also been affected by global fluctuations. |
