By Midnight Trader,  June 21, 2012, 04:03:50 PM EDT

Canada's main stock market was a slippery slope for issues from start to finish today, finally ending the session down more than 350 points or 3%.

It was led lower by energy and mining issues as weak economic data from the United States, China and Europe appeared to show global economic growth has hit a wall again, raising concerns regarding demand for commodity prices. Oil, gold and copper prices all fell. All sub sectors dropped, led by Metals & Mining and Energy, both of which were down around 5%.
