K-W I can see achieving it's goal. Toronto and the GTA are influencing the four-headed monster more and more every year which can't be said for London and Saint Thomas.
And the stimulus package bandaid solution strikes again.

I wouldn't be surprised if London achieves it's economic growth predictions. There is more to the economy than manufacturing despite all external appearances. London could be growing as much as K-W if city council wouldn't be so conservative about transit and transportation planning, but I digress here.
