Do you not follow the news? How can Detroit, or any American city that isn't a magnet for the Top 1%, thrive when the federal government, thanks to trade deals that make it easier for corporations to...

Now hold on for minute. You are assuming that people will act rationally and acquiesce to the demands of the Top 1% once they've been deprived of all hope for a better life. But we know that people...

With the University of Windsor set to begin construction on a new $12.8 million school of visual and performing arts in downtown Windsor and Wayne State and the CCS nurturing Detroit's burgeoning...

Finally the people have a government that works for them and not the parasites over at Big Labor. Too bad Ontario didn't get the message because Michigan is eating their lunch and producing the kind...

I think what the article is saying, and I agree wholeheartedly, is that the service economy will never be a meaningful substitute for the old industrial or agricultural economy it replaced. To have...

Too many mentally disturbed young boys growing up into dangerous young thugs. Time to focus on the problems of young men instead of Caitlyn Jenner.

What's happening in Milwaukee is being played out in cities all across North America. Toronto, Chicago, NY etc. are all dealing with the effects of what James Howard Kunstler once called the...

Please throw some money across the border to Windsor. Ontario ends at London, we're told, and anything in between is considered part of Michigan. Don't let a perfectly good city go to waste because...

And people actually voted for this jackass? Seriously, if Dan Gilbert is an irritation maybe he should ask himself why Dan chose Detroit over his fiefdom. Maybe it's because he's doing a lousy job...

It's funny how Obama's DOJ saw fit to prosecute Quicken Loans, a mere piker compared to all the big Wall Street banks and financial institutions, while avoiding going after the "too big to fail"...

I don't know what Dan Gilbert's politics are but I'll bet if he's a major Republican contributor then Obama's Justice Dept. might be giving Quicken Loans lending practices a lot more scrutiny than...

My aim, fellow Canadian, was not to offend you but to point out that far too many neo-Cons north and south of the border use place like Detroit as an example of everything that's wrong with unions...

It's always nice to hear from the Canadian Conservative party's mouthpiece on this blog. Tell me, enlightened Canadian visitor, what publication are you going to reference next: the Limbaugh Letter...

Detroit is a huge city geographically and the jobs that sustained it at its' peak were located far from the core. The workers preferred to live and shop close to where they worked. When the jobs left...

I have a question that may or may not be relevant. If Detroit had more clout in Washington, would the David-Stott building be in such bad shape? Downtown Windsor's crown jewel, the Paul Martin...

Over the weekend, a water main broke at the condominium at 540 Ouellette in Windsor. Over two feet of water flooded the lobby and the residents were forced to find new accommodations for an extended...

But on the bright side, DT Detroit's economic resurgence continues to gain steam and is spilling over into DT Windsor with the announcement that Lazare's Furs is moving into its' old landmark...

Hot off the newswire: "Target says it plans to discontinue all operations in Canada and has been granted protection from creditors, less than two years after opening to much fanfare." from the...

What's good news for downtown Detroit is good for the entire region, and that includes Windsor and Essex County. Just heard that another major call center is moving into Windsor. It's going to occupy...

Well here are my predictions for 2015:
1. Detroit will become a magnet for financial institutions and technology companies fleeing from the high cost of doing business elsewhere and looking to take...

I want to make one other point about malls working in cities like Toronto and Montreal. Unlike Detroit, those cities have enormous political clout and receive the lion's share of federal dollars and...

The reason malls work in cities like Toronto and Montreal has nothing to do with race and everything to do with disposable income. The sad fact is, aside from Quicken Loans, Detroit has nothing in...

There is a belief among neo-conservatives that over-paid autoworkers and thier pliant bosses are solely to blame for the downfall of the Detroit Three. Nothing could be further from the truth. If we...

Walter Reuther predicted the future when he said that organized labor can't thrive in a political vacuum. The union movement once had a powerful ally in the Democrat party. Organized labor delivered...
