- Monday
December 15, 2008
by: Robert Ede
Thornhill Ontario: The enormous bailout of US banks and financial institutes has been instructional. The massive amounts of money had done little to slow the slide in the economy and the true cause of the problem, mortgage defaults has not been addressed. Doing the same with the auto industry doesn't make sense, here is a better idea.

- Thursday
December 18, 2008
by: Eugene Parks

by: Larry Kazdan
Vancouver, British Columbia: When you consider what group and class of people are responsible for the crumbling economy, world wide, it is more than a little ironic when you consider who the minister of finance is calling upon to give him advise to sort the country's pathway out of the mess that has been made.
