Were you coming off a job loss, or did you switch business sectors when you were recently hired? I think Canada and the US move in lockstep, as far as business activity, except Canada is energy independent, is a net exporting nation, and enjoys a current federal budget surplus, the opposite of the US in all of those areas.
The busiest port complex in the US, Los Angeles/Long Beach....is experiencing about a six percent decline in incoming, loaded container shipping, so far this year....a sign of declining consurmer demand, but exports are up:
