[QUOTE="klein, post: 891596, member: 23950"] Well, luckily we don't have many "Bretts, Mores, or even Cains" over here in politics. Here are 2 headlines:From the head of Bank of Canada, and 1 from our Finance Minisiter : [SIZE=4][B][URL="http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2011/10/14/carney-bank-of-canada-occupy-wall-street_n_1011747.html"]Mark Carney, Bank Of Canada Governor: Occupy Wall Street Protests 'Constructive' [/URL] [/B][SIZE=2]As protesters prepare to bring the Occupy Wall Street movement north of the border, Canada's top banker says he is sympathetic to their frustrations. In an interview with CBC's Peter Mansbridge, Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney called the demonstrations, which are slated to spread to cities across Canada on Saturday, "entirely constructive." "I understand the frustration of many people, particularly in the United States," he said. "You've had increase in inequality because of ... globalization, because of technology. You've had a big increase in the ratio of CEO earnings to workers on the shop floor."

Flaherty says the demonstrations are understandable, given high unemployment rates among youth and the increased concentration of wealth among a very few. But he says the conditions that led to the U.S. movement are mostly not present in Canada. [/SIZE][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
