Is Canada Headed for a
Recession?
Many people in Canada and abroad are
worrying about the possibility of the looming recession
in Canada. There are a number of foreign investors that
are eying the country warily; as if not quite sure of
the direction the Canadian economy is going to turn in
the coming months. Yet, as the rest of the world
has been sinking into a clear recession, including the
United States and most of Europe, Canada has seemingly
been able to hang on in slightly better condition than
many of these countries. However, many people in the
country itself are wondering, along with those foreign
investors, just what is coming
next.
Although Canada is certainly
sharing in many of the economic crises that are shaping
global events, such as a failing auto sector, there are
many other areas where the country's past and present
actions are giving it a better outlook than many of
its trading partners around the world. For example, one
of the worst problems involved in the American financial
crisis involves the credit crisis that has been created
because of sub-prime mortgages. Because of the push for
these types of mortgages, more than 20% of the market in
the past years in the United States was based on
Sub-Prime mortgages. In Canada, that number is more like
2%, which causes a much more stable environment in
general.
Also, despite the dropping
prices of oil, the Alberta oil sands are still producing
massive amounts of profit for that province. In
addition, Saskatchewan is seeing a rapid expansion in
their oil industry, and is growing faster than any other
province in the country. This, of course, points to
strong sectors within the country that are helping to
stabilize the overall economy in relation to the
problems that are being suffered by other
countries.
The truth is that we are
in the midst of a more or less global recession, and
very few countries in the western world are going to be
left completely unscathed by the crisis. However, out of
all of those countries, there is almost nowhere that is
as well positioned as Canada to weather the storm with a
minimum of damage, and that will be as quick to recover
when the current crisis passes.

Disher Courier -
Conscientious Of
Times
Disher Courier is
doing their part to help customers during these tough
economic times. We believe in maintaining an open
relationship with our customers and would like them
to understand exactly what they are paying for when they
receive their bill for Disher Courier services.
Our
customer is the absolute focus of everything that we do.
With the struggles of today, one of the services that
our customers can avail of is our discounted Fedex Third
Party Services. Disher customers now have a discount
available to them on Fedex Services that can range from
10% all the way up to 25%; depending on the terms and
specifics of the delivery. Disher re-invoices the
customer after applying the discount,
passing the savings along to the
customer every time the FedEx services are
utilized.
One of the realities
surrounding the courier business is fuel
surcharge. The fuel surcharge is a legitimate
representation of the current fuel price. There is no
attempt to offset other costs or fees by raising the
fuel surcharge. Instead, it is directly derived from the
current gas prices. The fuel surcharge amount
is taken from the invoice amount and passed along
to the drivers who face the added burden of cost
when refilling their vehicles. At Disher Courier, we
value our drivers' attention to quality and
punctuality, and feel that they should not have to bear
the cost of rising fuel prices. The fuel surcharge is
indeed a true reflection of the fluctuating gas
prices.
We Deliver Peace Of Mind! For all
your courier and logistics needs, call Disher
Courier at

Toronto
Cruises - A Great Way to Celebrate the
Holidays
Toronto is a beautiful city, and many area
residents and frequent guests will agree that the best
way to view the city is from the water. Where else can
you get spectacular views of the CN Tower and the
skyline? But Toronto cruises aren't just for the summer
months.
Can
you imagine celebrating Christmas on a cruise in Toronto
Harbor? What about ringing in the New Year aboard a New
Year's Eve Toronto cruise?
Toronto area residents have long understood that
there are unconventional and fun ways to celebrate the
holidays while still maintaining the traditions we all
love. Check out some of these great holiday cruise
ideas!
Christmas on the Water
A new
idea for those who love to host holiday parties is to
hold your party aboard a Toronto cruise ship. Generally
able to seat smaller parties all the way up to 300
guests or more, these cruises provide an excellent venue
for a holiday party to remember.
Cruise
ships are fully heated, making them warm and cozy for
clients and staff. Even large families have been known
to host holiday get-togethers on the water. In addition,
holiday cruises are a popular way to celebrate the
holiday season as a couple or a family. Shared events
provide a chance for smaller groups to join in the fun
without chartering an entire cruise ship.
Views
of the Toronto skyline provide a festive backdrop to a
tasty chef-prepared meal. Toronto residents and visitors
are learning that it's just more fun to celebrate the
holidays on the water than to sit at home and celebrate
Christmas the standard way.
Many
people who have experienced the holidays or any other
special occasion aboard a Toronto cruise say that the
experience is one they will never forget. The gorgeous
views, delicious cuisine, and friendly staff make
Toronto cruises one of the best ways to celebrate the
holidays in style.
