The Oil Price Crash Is Taking a Heavy Toll On Canada. And the Worst Is Yet to Come - Bloomberg Business

The Oil Price Crash Is Taking a Heavy Toll On Canada. And the Worst Is Yet to Come - Bloomberg Business:

"Crime is rising, home prices are falling and food banks are overwhelmed in Calgary as job losses spread. And the worst isn’t yet over in the heart of Canada’s oil patch.
Some of the city’s largest employers are poised to cut more jobs in 2016 as they reduce spending for a second straight year, adding to an estimated 40,000 oil and natural gas positions lost across the nation since the crude price rout began 18 months ago.
“We all know someone who has lost a job,” Naheed Nenshi, the city’s mayor, said in a speech this month, lamenting the “funeral"-like atmosphere in the business community."
