statcan.ca Asia vast poverty and labor pool to me at this time is creating puts both US and Canada in the ssme boat. Canada to me use to have the simplest cleanest easiest to read set of stats her format appears to be changing as does her sector growth. She to me is running exactly the same course as the US has been. Prime source of income will be finance recent growth in car sales big ticket items decrease in interest rates increase in housing costs. The turn over in housing i see here has not begun there. Part of it I believe can be attributed to the mind set that promotes it is wise to pay off your house. The other part to the tax code here. Wages have a small decrease discretionary spending has increased. Products cost less and will continue to do so as the C dollar rises in value. The adverse is employment now 8%. I do not feel that Canada is a safe harbor as i sense as here the prime driver is going to be finance. I disagree with Templeton. To me this looks like if one is a trader and can weather the swings it is a trade not a long range hold by any means. So time frame is utterly important as their budget could very well look like ours. The course to me is a duplicate to the one we have seen here. Asia is the new world and Japan is on a ledge right now. To me there is very little in the way of safety net here in North America. Politicians can be blamed but they had nothing to do with this at all. This is a pure economic mess that stems from competitive cost problems. SA my computer had a mind of its own last night. It had set itself up on time so each time i attempted to post my thoughts it timed out then i had no cable connection. Unbelievably weird. Now to the serious side of life the one called humor, what is an WCI?
