Here is the new leader of the NDP, Thomas Mulcair in his first Question Period as leader of the opposition,
Questions about middle-class jobs. That was only a few days ago.
This morning, Statscan had welcome news for Canadians,
OTTAWA – After months of stagnant or even falling employment, Canada’s economy began churning out jobs again last month — and in a big way — adding 82,300 workers to the labour force.
The eye-popping gain, almost all in full-time work, was about eight times economists’ expectations and dropped the unemployment rate two notches to 7.2 per cent.
Of those numbers, 70,000 of those jobs are full-time.
Of course, if the NDP had their way their would sap the Canadian economy of its ability to attract investment and capital.
Anyhow, Thomas Mulcair’s NDP released a new ad this morning as well. Mulcair promises to build a more green and prosperous economy. Unfortunately for him, today was not the best of days to release an ad contrasting his economic vision with that of the real economy.
