It's official: Canada has lost more jobs in the first two months of 2009 than the Con/Lib budget is even intended to be able to preserve. And that's without taking into account the obvious reasons not to take Deficit Jim's job claims at face value.
Can it get any worse? Just ask anybody looking for a job who learned this week that the federal job bank isn't equipped to keep functioning through the amount of demand it's getting. And as an added bonus, the minister in charge of employment insurance was revealed to be incapable of managing even a $100,000 campaign budget.
Unfortunately, there's no end in sight to either the recession itself, or the ineptitude of the government in charge of dealing with it. But there can't be much doubt by now that the combination is about as toxic as one could imagine for the well-being of Canadians.
