Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: New-wave worker: Ford's Keith Anderson demonstrates a robot welder on the Oakville assembly line. Reader argues that it's not government overspending; immigration or slow economic growth that are at the root of our high unemployment; but; rather; over-automation in key employment-providing industries such as car-making; banking; insurance and service industries.
