"Cranbrook and the East Kootenays are well positioned to lead western Canada out of the downturn"

With the cancellation of Mountains of Gold 2010 http://www.mountainsofgold.com/, steep price reductions on housing developments  in the valley, Walmarts decision not to expand, and little activity in Cranbrooks two second home developments  isn't it about time for an honest assessment the direction our economy is taking.  Hopefully Cranbrook and the East Kootenays will weather this economic storm as they have done in the past but to suggest that we will "lead western Canada out of the downturn" appears to be economic cheerleading of the worst kind.
