miningThere is a large bifurcation in the markets. The larger market has been steadily going up since 2008 but mining for the most part has been pretty much going down since 2011. Oil and gas is in a bear market as well. These are the industries that Canadians have relied on in the past to produce the jobs that made our economy work as well as it did. Tough times for a lot of folks that used to make a good living.
