Economy
« Previous EntriesClean Up Your Own Mess
Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009Wow! I’m not exactly Dalton McGuinty’s biggest fan, but he has finally said something that I can agree with.
Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty has put the Canadian Auto Workers on notice that it should not look to the province to bail out pensioners if they cannot strike a deal to restructure General Motors.
Dalton has wasted enough [...]
My Economic Stimulus Package
Friday, April 10th, 2009Since the global economy began to slow, the popular catchphrase being used everywhere seems to be economic stimulus. All top priorities seem to centre around stimulating the economy.
With the new home renovation tax credit to help ease the pain, I thought I’d do my part and offer an economic stimulus package of my own [...]
Accept Responsibility For Your Own Affairs
Sunday, March 15th, 2009Leave it to the Toronto Star to spin a sob story whenever they need to remind everyone about the slowing economy.

As part of Dion’s sales pitch, he is using the familiar [...]
Helping the Economy… NDP-Style
Thursday, May 1st, 2008I’m no fan of Dalton McGuinty, and I don’t believe he has any credible plan to properly manage the economy of Ontario. In fact, I’ve been critical of Dalton on that topic here, here and here. However, as bad as Dalton’s economic stewardship is, Howard Hampton and his band of merry socialists would be much worse!
Here’s what Hampton had [...]
The Changing Workplace
Sunday, February 24th, 2008Toronto Star columnist David Crane must be a very risk-averse individual. In his recent column, Mr. Crane discusses many of the positive and negative changes in the Canadian workforce. While many of Mr. Crane’s observations may be true, I disagree with his assessment that some of those changes are necessarily a bad thing.
Some industries are hiring new employees at [...]
