as an 18 year old, I must say that employment in Ontario has been a train wreck all of my adult life. Its a disgrace that with all of the billions of dollars spent since then, that no Ontario government has given a fig about trying to at least stabilize the declining standard of living here. Stable government jobs would be an elementary start, but going back to Rae's NDP, and successive Con and Liberal governments here are beholden to outsourcing, privatizing, and 'labour mobility' which is only downwardly mobile.
