After nearly eight years of a Conservative government, questions mount about declining standard of living in Canada.
OTTAWA—After nearly eight years of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government, the question of what kind of country Canadians want is gathering new urgency.
KINGSTON - As the old saying goes, without health, nothing else matters. It is a resource for everyday living. So how healthy are the residents of Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox & Addington (KFL&A)? The recent Canadian Index of Wellbeing survey set out to answer this question. This survey was completed by 1,515 citizens who answered questions on their quality of life, provided thoughtful comments about their own well-being, and shared insights on how to improve health and well-being.
KINGSTON - Our future economic prosperity is contingent upon having a larger population.
At the moment, we are well positioned economically. Our family income levels, income distribution, and poverty levels, all compare favorably with both Ontario and the rest of Canada. The population growth in the Kingston CMA during the past decade, with its increasing workforce, and increased output per worker, was essential to this success.
