We need to keep September 11 in perspective, especially because the ten thousand daily deaths are preventable. - Jeffrey Sachs (from his book "The End of Poverty")

Topaz Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 Some people are saying that the recession is nearly over for Canada, at least, and the Finance Minister is being cautious this time around of what he says. Canada has over 400,000 on EI and over 800,000 unemployed and that can't be good for any country. What happens when those people on EI can't find a job? Welfare, foreclosures on their homes, when they can't sell them? I know the government isn't suppose create jobs as everyone says but then some governments do a good jobs losing them through their changes in taxs or labour rules, so why not create them or try harder to keep them here. I heard a US Republican say that they think the US is still in trouble economy and their debt is getting higher ,so I can't see where Canada isn't going to have a delayed reaction to what the US is going through, unless we start more business from other countries to replace some of the business with the US.
