It's happening to your North as well, guys. There were quite a few lay offs before Christmas in both Central and Eastern Canada; a lot of people left without jobs just in time for the Holidays!

Fortunately, I've got a pretty solid job, that is unlikely to ever lay me off; but things are still getting a little tight, what with some businesses raising the prices of their product to try and make up for dwindling sales. You think that they'd be doing the opposite, to try and move product, and create revenue.
