As you seem uncertain on the concept, let me help you. These are numbers. These are facts.
Housing Statistics
Sales are down.
New motor vehicle sales, by province (monthly)
Sales are down.
2016 Civic Census Results
More people are leaving the city than moving to it. The only reason the population increased at all was due to births. Vacancies are up dramatically.
Otherwise, I will have to conclude that the source of your claims is just like all your other claims. Pulled out of your ass. |
Lol you specifically quote a line from my statement that businesses are still investing and expanding here, then demand I prove my claim, so I provide you references and now you're attacking me because I didn't answer a question you didn't even ask. Now you demand numbers proving things aren't on the decline overall, that was never even my claim to begin with. Of course things are slower right now, we're kinda in a recession. My original point was that while everyone is pleading that the raise in minimum wage will destroy the economy and drive business away, there are a lot of companies still investing here. Because a lot of these companies are money making machines I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that they realize based on their experience that this will not have as devestatingly bad of an effect as many here suggest, otherwise why would they invest here?
That's being pulled out of where?
