I really fail to see how.

Don't worry.... It's just Chicken Little screaming THE SKY IS FALLING, one more time.

Who really cares if it's 6.1% or 6.7% unemployment here in Ontario. There's still 93% of people spending money, living their lives, and making travel plans.

Hell, the high Canadian dollar has made my vacations in Cuba 25% CHEAPER than they were just 3 years ago. Can't argue with that.

The state's Republican governor said the action was necessary given California's failure to enact a budget for the current fiscal year, which began on July 1.

The state faces a massive $15.2 billion deficit and Democratic and Republican lawmakers have so far been unable to agree on a spending plan.

WRONG AGAIN GORDON!!!!! Canada's Oil and Gas exports to the USA were $49 Billion dollars while the forestry industry exported only $35 Billion dollars worth of goods.
