Jobs being added -- at least in this story

This item in the Toronto Star (among many running the same piece) says that jobs are going to be added by employers in Canada this spring. Good news. Doesn't say exactly what kind of jobs, but whatever.

The item confuses me because just this weekend I read in another newspaper that consumer confidence is down, job growth is stalled (off, actually, for the month being reported -- probably January), and our exports are being killed due to a strong dollar. [Only in Canada do we complain and rave about the value of our currency. ed.] Who to believe? And for how long?
