C.P.:

Canadian Beavers are just too boring... We just sit around dreaming up things to do... during our short Canadian summers... like building dams... expanding our 'beaver lodges'... and escaping the clutches of the CWB... them just to plot our next winter's cold dark days... of boredom and dreams of spring!

I am Tom Jackson... reporting from a winter holiday outside the 'designated area'... where 'freedom' is Hay River NWT... the only reporter on the planet... a goofy grain grower... who went... above the 60th parallel... for a winter holiday... to escape the CWB and dream of farming on the tundra... (NWT has to have some leg up... on the rest of us!)

The land of the midnight sun (dEEAMER... YOU KNOW YOU ARE A dRREEEEAMER[SUPERTRAMP])... where sun glasses and a peaked hat are reqiured from January to November!

SaWfly,

TRUST BUT VERIFY.

Society is built on the foundation of infrastructure that is productive and innovative... that respects those it serves.

Sadly I must report that the CWB does none of the above.

Good read,i didnt know how well td was doing.

tying into cp's achilles heel thread canada is an exporting country and the largest trading relationship in the world is between canada and the us. if the us dollar goes in the tank we're screwed too. our banking system has held the financial sector together so far but if our mfg and resource sectors are hit by an american recession/depression it just means our troubles started in a different part of the economy. we'll still get hurt just as badly whether it's oil, grain, cattle, auto or whatever.

Funny, how the $125 billion worth of debt that was transferred from our banks to taxpayers wasn't mentioned.

Personally I don't think Banks should be limited to what kind of a savings to debt ratio they want to run. I do object to governments all of the world telling their banks that it's okay to crank up the ratio because taxpayers have their back.

Banks should not be shielded from their own stupidity anymore than anyone else. They also shouldn't be forced to do stupid things against their own will aka the Community Reinvestment Act in the states.

From my haute couture private and extra large personal tent where the clothing police will never know that I am wearing an itsy bitsy teeny weenie poka dot bikini ((well it ain't as small as it used to be bikini) under , (but hey protest for personal freedom comes in all sizes, and descriptions!) The bikini will have CWB poka dots, the tent will represent the western regions! (kind of the same thing I figure!) Freedom of choice is really the same whether you are a woman in a tent or a farmer in the west.

The full report when I get back...!

If we are in reasonable shape, we can thank the RPC for the focus on the deficit and the debt from the 90s. Funny how Harper did not remember his part in this roll back of spending back then?

The Canadian dollar will rise only with the rise in our commodities, so it's a offset position. The parity to $1.10 spike had the effect of account conversion to U.S. dollars, a heck of a gain compared to stocks, and the purchase of U.S. originated agricultural equipment that would not have penciled out before. Only had one dealer tell me it wouldn't sell new iron to a Canadian, unlike the auto industry which is why that segment deserves to fail. Usually the forgetting of who you are is close to the last stage of something, stormstayed in Weyburn could do that, but I'd be more worried about the ozone hole above 60 latitude.

[parsley]

If you're an ag equipment dealer in Weyburn, that's not CLOSE to the end of something, I hear it's the END of something. Is that the way you hear it?

[cottonpicken]

Whuch you talkin about willis?

[parsley]

Does the mayor of Weyburn encourage business?

[checking]

Different strokes for different folks. Sorry mayor, Weyburn is a nice city that is out of my jurisdiction, but storm stayed usally adds up to more business. When your name goes can remembering where you parked your truck be far behind?
