Canadian Bankruptcy Rates Up in October 2008
I went on to the government of Canada website and got a graphic of the bankruptcy rates for October 2008 which were 9,468.

Octobers bankruptcies were highest in Ontario, by individual, but the highest percentage change was in Prince Edward Island at 70% increase, followed by Alberta at 50.9% increase.
Total bankruptcies in September 2008 was 8,836.
It says that the overall increase in bankruptcies percentage wise year over year is 21.1%. That's a huge increase when you think about it.
