Another almost 700 jobs leaving the City

Cargill cuts nearly 700 jobs

Cargill Ltd will be cutting almost 700 jobs at its meatpacking factory in Etobicoke. The company is offering to transfer those workers affected to other parts of Ontario and the GTA.  One thing's for sure: these jobs won't be coming back to Toronto.

And so the inexorable death of manufacturing in the City continues.  With it residents' living standards will continue to slide.Are green jobs and lower taxes all our politicians have to offer as hope for our working class citizens?
