I think Ontario is done. I was in Toronto for 2 days, I'm just at the airport flying back, but it reminds me very much of the North of England in the 1970's.
Its dirty, gray, the infrastructure is crumbling, no one looks happy. Where ever you go you have to listen to people griping all the time. The government is selling off assets to keep afloat, there is 0 incentive for any local or foreign investment, the manufacturing base has fled and the only jobs left are really civil servants.
Compare Toronto to somewhere like Vancouver. I was visiting a customer there two weeks ago. Its vibrant, lively, well maintained, clean. They have attracted a ton of investment from local and international companies. Boeing, Cisco, Microsoft, Honda, Toyota, Prime Focus, Shaw and Telus are investing billions in new facilities. Even taking taxies or riding public transit is a pleasure, they don't smell.
You need someone in power who can stimulate investment and economic growth. That's not going to happen in the foreseeable future. People also need to take some nasty medicine - "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country", didn't Mayor Quimby say that
I'm a proud Canadian but enough is enough and I really don't want to be standing in a soup kitchen line or for my kids to have no future. I have some First Nations ancestry, and the European side of my family were Scots and Irish who have been here from 1750, you can go to the grave yard in Fergus and see them all lined up but I can't sit around here and watch this train wreck any longer. I think I got out at good time and was able to sell my house before the bubble burst.
Kathleen Whine will get another majority in 2018 and Trudeau has absolutely no economic plan. I don't know what this country will be like in 4 years time, Greece?
On the big + side I now get to ride 365 days a year Last weekend I did about 500 miles down Skyline, 9 and around Hollister and Carmel Valley. It was 85 degrees
