Statistics Canada Reports II

[ericmacm]

Windsor is amongst the oldest settlements in the country which gave it a leg up. Additionally, being the hub for lots of Canada’s early manufacturing and automotive industries was what caused it to grow so quickly so early compared to London and Kitchener. Unfortunately, the manufacturing and automotive industries are also what led to its stagnation and decline like much of the US Rust Belt.

Fortunately, I think those days are over. Aside from posting good population growth numbers, SW Ontario in general seems to be leading business/job growth in the province. I saw an article a while back that showed London, Kitchener, and Windsor all leading the pack and consistently changing places for #1 by % over the past year or so.
