Goldman Sachs and the IMF ... are no replacement for good old common sense. No new investors will invest in the North of Ontario (and possibly other Provinces) until the treaty disputes are settled. Delaying joint talks has been devastating to investors who've tried (and the investors are not blaming the FN) Devastating environmental laws and water protections has set the whole Country into a no trust situation.
Covering up and avoiding addressing issues with Canada's bad acting SNC Lavelin, bad acting mining companies, bad acting climate deniers etc ... may be good message managing, but lousy for our reputation. We started 2009 with an advantage over the rest of the World ... and instead of using our same old plodding ways ... we jumped on the austerity program of the rest of the world ... just as they were jumping off.
We've been mismanaged and clearly it shows

Can someone please explain to me how our dollar can be falling so dramatically against the USD after all their money printing, er, quantitative easing. All things being equal, I would have expected the CAD to have appreciated significantly through the cycle due to US monetary policy.

I hope our dollar drops to around 80 cents. It's overall very much a positive situation for Canada. Individual consumers don't like it, but our country is more competitive in this situation.

Uh huh, meanwhile hedging every angle I'm sure. I'll take GS's advice with a grain of salt, or more like a large chunk of salt like you see rolling along the 401 in winter.

Good call by the GS boys. They're usually right. They certainly manage to attract most of the world's smart financial people to their employ. I have a feeling that the recent change in BOC Governor is about a rate cut in the near future. Currency weakening has become a real blood sport between countries and Canada has some room to move on this that the US doesn't. The US is desparately trying to weaken their currency but somehow stays on as the prettiest girl at the bikers ball.

The International Monetary Fund says Canada is exposing itself to risk by insuring mortgages through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and recommends scaling back the federal housing agency.
