People that have to support themselves are impacted. In this area there are those that don't have to work, so they won't and there is no impact for them. I believe they choose to live in poverty. |

If we bail out the auto sector, who's golng to buy the cars if everybody else is out of work. |

I've lost over 20% on my investments, which were only about $24,000 to start with before the recession and have been locked in for over 15 years. Keep in mind this investment was mandatory at a former workplace, you had no choice. You HAD to feed the coffers on an every payday basis, in fact it was automatically deducted from my paycheque. I fully expect that over the next year, at least, it will be whittled down to nothing and I will never be able to recoup the loss.
My current workplace has been severely affected and business has slowed to the point, where it seems almost pointless showing up, as I can monitor the phones from home. I'm just wondering when I will be laid off, or be told I'm being reduced to part-time, at the very least. I should be grateful, I suppose, as I have American friends who have been hit very hard and are on the brink of eviction, with no employment opportunities at whatsoever. Canada is headed that way - maybe not quite so bad but, don't be a bonehead and think that we're going to be unscathed. We won't be. |

Just lost a job in Alberta due to lay-off, even the booming province is suffering, more layoffs of local people in Alberta are coming, this will affect local spending when these people are at home on days off. |
