OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada churned out a stunning 60,900 jobs in September, once again outshining the United States with an economy that is humming along even as other rich nations struggle with debt and slumping confidence.
The jobless rate fell unexpectedly to 7.1 percent from 7.3 percent in August, Statistics Canada reported on Friday, compared with a U.S. rate that has stayed stubbornly above 9 percent. The U.S. unemployment rate was 9.1 percent in September.
Adjusted to take account of the relative sizes of the two economies and slightly different statistical methods, Canada's gain in new jobs would be comparable to half a million new U.S. positions. U.S. employment rose 103,000 in September.

Maybe Forbes has a point when they say Canada is the #1 destination in the world for business right now.
And I took lowering taxes and creating a competitive business environment didn't matter.
