Canada: The Christmas Economy...Now the Hangover Starts, Especially in Ontario

With interesting job numbers from December, that coincidentally aligned with the biggest shopping season of the year, for Christmas, in which The Justin bragged briefly about even while frittering around at Davos (when not scolding the world on gender rights, climate change, fair trade, human rights, etc), they have vanished much like Santa on Christmas eve. Maybe for another year (or in this case, maybe not for many years). 

Unlike the media who has covered such stories lately on a "guilty until proven innocent" basis, let's take a different approach - jobs data has deteriorated, Ontario lost most of those, Christmas is over and this province wakes up to higher minimum wage costs.  Discuss among yourselves....
