Wow, Hamilton Breaks Building Permit Record, Tops $1.5 Billion

Spec article here. That's impressive considering the Canadian and Ontario economies haven't been exactly on fire lately, especially in the third and fourth quarters of 2012. It would seem Hamilton might be outperforming them in terms of GDP growth. It will be interesting to see whether 2013 will be strong or if the city's load was blown in 2012. This paragraph from the article, suggests that December was strong so perhaps that will continue into 2013:

"December figures also released Tuesday show 529 permits issued for a total value of $128 million."
