This Is Bad
real bad. It will have a direct impact on investing for the next few years. New stats out on the Canadian economy, CMHC and the Feds are screaming at the top of their lungs that househole debt is through the roof and most will not be able to keep up with thier payments. Now this new info about spending. The Canadian economy is mostly centered in the cities, those above 100,000 population to the tune of over 70%. When you see spending drop this fast means only one thing we are headed into a recession and it's going to be a bad one. When you see spending drop like we have see in Victoria B.C. by 7.7% and a large number of other cities by over 5% accross Canada it means only one thing, we are in for something the likes of which we have never seen before. The last time spending dropped like this as fast was back in the 1920's and 30's. Couple all this with the renewal of mortgages that 48% of those renewals the owners nolonger qualify for the mortgage. We are in for it. Hang tight folks !!!!!!!!!!!!!

So on the theory we're headed into a recession, won't people smoke more? In the 20's and 30's, did people stop drinking or did the largest distillers make their fortune?
