This was a year ago. Those ships on order then are now being delivered.

Yes thank-you , I am aware of the capacity issue . A sudden fall over a 30-40 day
period however suggests a rapid change in circumstances but which may of course be
merely a temporary end of year glitch .

People not in the labour force .
Looking at that chart reminds me of the good old days when
it was women who stayed home and new how to cook , darn
and vacuum . Of course that was before the banks discovered
financial rape and the Chinese worshiped Mao not money .

That's a graph of trade balance.
Here's a graph of exports as percent of GDP:
Neither gives a picture of actual export numbers, but the trend is clear in the second.

The rising export percentage reflects Canada's new-found oil wealth.

Ross, nice last graphic......
And now, to really blow everyone's mind.....
Who, pray tell, lent all that money, to the governments?
Is it all of the grandma's in the world?
Is it all of the savers in the world?
Is it all of the oil producers in the world?
Is it all of the very rich?
Is it all of the asset rich companies?
Last time I checked, when you added up all of the "available savings" the world had, it was barely just 1 trillion.
So where did all of the money come from to "Lend"? to these spendthrift governments?
Ta da.... No where. The money loaned was created out of thin air. Not owned by anyone, except, once created, it is owned by the private banks who created it from nothing.... To loan to the governments, and then earn interest on top of that.....
The central banks of the world, funnily enough, have painted themselves into a corner. They have this huge supply of created money that they own, but they themselves can't use it.
It's messed up, that's for sure.

Please enlighten us as to that number's origin and derivation.

Which is exactly why we should not bailout the banks . If you gamble to
make profits you should eat your own loses .

Apparently traffic through the Suez Canal is an excellent
economic thermometer .

You don't need all these graphs or finacial knowledge to figure out we are heading back down hill. All you have to do is go grocery shopping.
