- April 29 (John Stapleton in The Mark) |
The
Perfect Calm
We may not be out of the economic storm yet.
By John Stapleton
Social Policy Consultant.
April 29, 2010
(...)
Living in the “perfect calm,” what others call the “eye of the storm,”
is disarmingly placid. Interest rates have almost reached zero, an
historically low standard. If you can borrow, money costs next to
nothing. The financial system is awash in credit, which it is using to
back both good bets and bad. We are awash in liquidity.
(...) Let's remember that after the two big
recessions of the 1980s and 1990s, interest rates were high and
governments could predict recovery because all they had to do was lower
the rates and the skies cleared. This time around things are very
different as monetary and fiscal policy can only get tighter while
governments will be tapped out. This recession
isn't over, it's just taking a breather.

3. Hugh Segal's
Guaranteed Annual Income Proposal + The Debate- April 28 |
Hugh Segal: Guaranteed Annual Income, The Proposal
| Guaranteed Annual Income Debate
April 28, 2010
On Wednesday of this past week, TV Ontario's The Agenda aired an
hour-long program on guaranteed annual income (GAI).
The first link below is to a video clip of
host/moderator Steve Paikin speaking with GAI champion Senator Hugh
Segal about his proposal to scrap most of Canada's financial assistance
programs and re-assign their budgets to a national, adequate and
sustainable guaranteed annual income program. The second link (which is
actually part of the first link due to stoopid page layout) is to a
debate on the costs and consequences of establishing a GAI in Canada,
and it involves a vigorous debate between the Red Tory Senator and a
National Post editorial board member. You can tell it's a vigorous
debate just from the number of times you hear the debaters say "with
due respect" - count 'em...
(Have you ever noticed that sometimes "With due respect" comes across
as "You're full of crap, you windbag"??)
Hugh
Segal: Guaranteed Annual Income, The Proposal (video, 18
minutes)
Why Canada can afford to ensure every citizen has a guaranteed
annual income:
The Agenda host Steve Paikin speaks one-on-one with Senator Hugh Segal.
The Debate: Guaranteed Annual Income
(video, 36 minutes)
NOTE: To access the second video, click the link above (to the first
video), then click on the tab just above the video screen that says
"Guaranteed Annual Income"
(Stoopid page layout.)
The Debaters:
Senator Hugh Segal discusses his proposal for a made-in-Canada
guaranteed annual income program with:
Tasha Kheiriddin, columnist and member of the editorial board
of the National Post
Evelyn Forget, professor of Health Economics at the University
of Manitoba
Ken Battle, President of the Caledon Institute of Social Policy.
Steve Paikin moderates (or should I say referees) the discussion.

4. POOR NO MORE : A land
of well-paid workers and willing taxpayers - April 30 |
A
land of well-paid workers and willing taxpayers
April 30, 2010
By Carol Goar
The most memorable scene in Poor No More, a documentary that
premiered this week in Toronto, takes place on the shop floor of a
large truck manufacturer in Sweden. A female
employee, talking while she works, says it’s “okay to pay taxes because
our system takes care of all the people.” She explains that if she
became sick or had an accident, she would get 80 per cent of her wages.
Like all Swedes, she is entitled to subsidized child care, elder care,
high-quality health care and 10 days of parental leave a year. A delegation of Canadian visitors — host Mary Walsh and two
Canadian workers trapped in insecure, low-wage jobs — listens in
disbelief. The trio moves outside to a
Stockholm street. “I love paying taxes,” a passerby affirms. It seems as if the Canadians have stepped into fantasyland...

* Contact
"Poor No More will be the first film
to explain the roots of the economic crisis, its impact on Canadians,
and what can be done about it. It is designed to build public support
for a real reduction in poverty. Poor No More will attract a wide
audience and help move this issue from the margins to the
mainstream.(...) The film ends on Parliament Hill, with an appeal to
'common people' to take back their country from the rich and powerful
and get Canada working for everyone. 'All we need is the will,' Walsh
says. It is an unsatisfying conclusion. But the film puts a human face
on poverty, raises important questions and offers an alternative to
those who think there is no way out."

P.E.I.
knocks big chunk off deficit
Province counts on economic improvement
April 23, 2010
P.E.I. Finance Minister Wes Sheridan is relying
on improved economic conditions to take nearly $30 million off the
provincial budget deficit in the coming year. Sheridan
presented his budget to the legislature Friday morning. It shows a forecast deficit of $84.2 million for 2009-10,
but estimates in 2010-11 that will fall to $54.9 million. Sheridan told
a media briefing shortly before presenting his budget that the deficit
would be eliminated in four years.
(...) The government has laid out a four-year
plan to eliminate the deficit in 2013-14. The elimination will be
achieved by increasing expenditures slowly and seeing revenues increase
more quickly through economic growth.
(...) While overall program expenditures are up
just $4.6 million, the government is increasing spending in two key
areas — health and education — by much more.
(...) A $2.5-million boost in early childhood
education funding is the beginning of a new focus, and there will be
more money for teaching and care of pre-kindergarten children in
subsequent budgets.
