1. I’m not sure if this is applicable here but an interesting article has recently appeared on the der spiegel website that may be of great interest to everybody. Apparantly Greenspan is not the expert on finances as we’ve all been led to believe!

2. LoL I just got this from a friend…

   Dear Mr. Harper,

   Please find below my suggestion for fixing Canada’s economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to banks and car companies, that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan:

   There are about 20 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

   1) They MUST retire. Twenty million job openings – Unemployment fixed.

   2) They MUST buy a new Canadian CAR. Twenty million cars ordered –
   Auto Industry fixed.

   3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage – Housing
   Crisis fixed.

   4) They must send their kids to school / college /university – Crime
   rate fixed

   5) Buy $50 of alcohol / tobacco / petrol a week… there’s your money
   back in duty / tax etc

   It can’t get any easier than that!

   P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of parliament pay back
   their falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances.

   If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know. If not, please disregard
