Say goodbye to our jobs
McGuinty doing little to keep Ontarians employed in their own province
"I would never discourage Ontarians from looking for work elsewhere in Canada"
-- Dalton McGuinty to reporters yesterday who were asking about Ontario's jobs free-fall-crisis
---
While it's true Pam Cross will be out of work at the end of the month, she won't be leaving the province she was born and raised in!
"This is my home," she said.
Her job at Kraft in Cobourg vanishes Oct. 31. After 17 years at the 89-year-old plant she'll be one of the tens of thousands of manufacturing workers looking for employment as Ontario wilts.
But that search will be in Ontario.
"My kids are here."
If Premier Dalton McGuinty is trying to say there's no future here for people like Cross, perhaps it is he who should start looking for work elsewhere?
If things are that bad, perhaps he should pass the baton to someone interested in trying to avoid economic chaos.
His smug "looking for work elsewhere" remark came after McGuinty was asked about Saskatchewan's premier in town recruiting talent from this have-not province to relocate to his have-province.
Perhaps McGuinty was suggesting Ontarians follow their jobs to China or Mexico, where they seem to be landing. Shockingly, the premier's comment came on the same day as 200 people were walked out the door at the historic Kraft processing plant and in a week where others closed as well.
