To me, it makes a lot of sense that if a portion of the world is having economic troubles, the troubles will spread. I mean. really.

But CNN, plus the radios television and newspapers are reporting that my province, Saskatchewan is still a great place for jobs and that our economy is not in danger at all. They say that there are tonnes of franchise opportunity, that our unemployment rate is staying static, that our banks are doing A-OK.

but I call bullshit.

My husbands company also deals in construction and automotive and those two sectors are feeling the pinch. the Agricultural sector, that’s where Hubs works, is supposedly still bringing in a  profit. But for how long? How long are farmers going to be able to buy 500,000 dollar machines? Banks aren’t quick to step up and lend right now you know, and if no one is buying, no one needs to make them, and boom, hubs is out of work.

Now. I’m a glass half empty kind of girl, and that’s fine, its part of who I am, but the news that Saskatchewan is an awesome place to be is starting to piss me off. Way to give people false hope! *clap clap* Economic woes will affect the entire world. not just north America, but Europe and every where else is feeling this in some way of another, and it is going to get worse before it gets better!

And that kind of sucks.
