I have not seem you post earlier in this thread so back off on the singling out shit. Not sure what you do, but if its anything to do with building, construction or manufacturing then you have no right to badmouth engineers as your projects wouldn't exist without their designs....next time you use your cell phone think how INSIGNIFICANT those electrical engineers are  |
Sorry to have come off a bit harsh but I have quite a few friends that went to university that are jealous of what I make. I now work as a steamfitter, and Canada is a supply and demand economy. Fortunately for me, there just aren't that many people willing and able to do my trade.
As for the topic of the thread. Construction is slower than it has been in several years. If people, including construction workers, think the site of cranes means all things are good, don't kid yourselves. These jobs have already received the required finances and will be completed, but several have been delayed or cancelled ie. trump towers, mars projects, and the one messing things up at yonge and bloor. Not one new permit has gone through the city for a new condo development this year, and if things don't pick up soon construction will see the recession's effects 18 to 24 months after most other people.
