No injuries reported after large explosion heard at Hamilton steel factory

Thankfully no injuries. This is symbolic of Ontarios economy, or is it our civil liberties/global influence?

First Nashville, now Ontario. Though this one doesn't seem to be man-made (our dwindling economy is though).

No injuries have been reported after a large explosion at a steel factory in Hamilton Friday morning, according to Hamilton police.

Shortly after 11:00 a.m. Hamilton fire crews said they were called to 300 Wilcox Street, north of Burlington Street, for a fire in a building belonging to Stelco Hamilton Works, a steel factory.

Large clouds of brown smoke were seen coming from Hamilton's waterfront industrial zone.

Sheri Ovis, a resident living nearby, told CBC Toronto she "heard bangs and it felt like three loud shockwaves. We went outside and saw the huge cloud of brown rusty coloured smoke."

Other residents from Hamilton, Stoney Creek and Burlington reported hearing the blast, some saying it sounded like "bombs going off."

Rats ... I wish you had posted this in the Conspiracy Theory forum ...

No conspiracy. Check out this article, it has to rely on 2012 data because, well, that's Canada. We are getting so desperate trying to keep the horse and buggy economy moving that our governments at all levels are looking for ways to block Canadian talent from heading South. This collapse happened before the Wuhan Virus.

That's what happens to nation that trade civil liberty and freedom for a creepy, covert police state and benefits for their family (see "company managers" and "senior talent hire (yeah riiiight)".

The kakistocracy won't be able to hold on forever, the world is moving fast and the least impressive among us will eventually get the stick instead of the carrot.

Ontario's financial woes a problem for all of Canada: op-ed

Lost in the current flurry of Ontarios election campaign is the one key issue facing the province, and indeed all of Canada: Ontarios laggard economic performance is dragging down the national economy.

www.fraserinstitute.org

Specifically, in 2004, Ontarios real per-capita GDP was 0.4 per cent higher than the rest of Canada. By 2012, Ontarios real per-capita GDP was 5.6 per cent lower than the rest of Canada. Put differently, if data for Ontario were excluded, Canadas per-capita GDP would be 2.2 per cent higher.

...............................................................

Ontario compensated for this poor performance in private sector job creation by having its public sector grow at about twice the average rate of private sector employment. In fact, the only reason Ontarios total employment growth is not weaker is that the provinces public sector has grown markedly.
