How do communities prevent disintegration in a collapsing economic environement
(MIKE)

Networking is the key
It brings people and resources together

Doom and Gloom is over the horizon.

House values are falling, wold currencies have collapsed.

Local organizations are the key to keeping the community intact.

There needs to be accountability to government handouts

Government is reactive rather than proactive

Status quo is killing us.

Government policies are hindering inter-Canadian trade, it's easier to deal with the usa.

Diversification is the key.

Cities that are hit the hardest will be the ones to lead the way with innovative idea.

People need to act on their ideas.

We need to make better use of our assets.

Tax reform is needed.

We need to work to develop our market in Canada.
