Thank you, Gordon.
Members of City Council…
Distinguished guests…
Friends.
I speak with you tonight at a most important and critical time in our city’s history.
A time that has tested our resolve, and that has made it hard for many local families,friends, and neighbors to remain confident in the face of continued uncertainty.
While a great future lies ahead for the prosperity of our city, the recent past has hit us hard.
I see it in the single mother … carefully looking for the lowest prices when buying groceries.
I hear it in the voice of the small business person, worried about making payroll.
And I see it in the eyes of our school children - who know how hard their father or mother is looking to find a new job. Children who are hopeful that they will be spared the experience of starting over in another school, in another city, with new friends.
Global economic shifts have taken their toll on Windsor.
We see it and hear it in our headlines.
Company Falls Victim to Rising Loonie.
Grim Outlook on Jobs.
Ontario’s Auto Parts Bleeding Continues
We live with these headlines every day.
There have been tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs lost in Southwestern Ontario and Michigan.
In fact, Time Canada recently estimated that nearly 330,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost in Canada over the past five years.
Headline - headline after headline.
Account after account, echoing the pain many of our residents are feeling.
Forces beyond our control have caused many sleepless nights in our city.
And while few communities have been immune from the decline in manufacturing,
Windsor is different.
We are a border city. And, our economy is more integrated with that of the United States, which has been hit harder than Canada.
We are living a harder, more intense, and more difficult slowdown than any of the other border cities, and other parts of Ontario.
Manufacturing in Windsor - Essex accounts for nearly one quarter of our workforce.
Since 2001, it is estimated that more than 10,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost in our community.
Another sector that is critical to our local economy is also struggling - tourism.
Tourism is facing the triple threat of high dollar, border issues, and competition from other casinos across the river.
