Life is tough in Detroit, Michigan, the epicentre of the world's economic crisis and, in a Canadian Press story and The Conference Board of Canada is naming a component of Metro Detroit, Windsor, Ontario, as ground zero of the economic recession in our nation.
Things are not rosy anywhere in The Great White North but they are especially not rosy in the Rose City where the economy is slated to shrink 5.6 per cent which is more than double the projection for the country as a whole, 2.5 per cent.
Most of the gloom is in Ontario; the only non Ontario city in dire straits is St. John's, Newfoundland, which is getting rocked by the drop in the price of oil. Ironically, of the fourteen mid sized cities surveyed only one, the other Johnnie, Saint John, New Brunswick, is showing growth.
