Document Summary
Manufacturing of transportation equipment, retail trade, food an beverage. Windsor would be the city best illustrated by the fordist ideology. Ideology because fordist assembly line manufacturing is still prominent in the city whose main economic base is manufacturing. I thought that kingston best described a post-fordist city. Even though the city does have a relatively high unemployment rate, it is an ever expanding city centered around higher education as well as healthcare allowing for a young dynamic growing market. Since sudbury"s economy is dominated by the mining and oil industries it would be the most vulnerable to corporate decisions. Canada to the international market, the fluctuation of international prices or a corporate decision overseas could have drastic effects on these industries which could affect the overall gdp of the area. An immigrant moving to canada would be best migrating to the. Kitchener-cambridge-waterloo because of the continuous progression of industries in the region which require a high demand for labour.
