(What else can I do?)
It might take me 2 - 3 years alone to decipher the meaning of PM Harper’s words as he hopes for a sustained global economic recovery:
["Wipe your feet at the front door, cowboy"]
“It is incumbent upon us to act with the same unity of purpose, the same sense of urgency, and the same commitment to the enlightened exercise of our national sovereignty as we did at the beginning of the crisis. The fate of millions of people depend on our actions.” (June 28, London Free Press)
If I recall correctly, at the beginning of the global economic meltdown Harper was doing everything but handstands to assure Canadians there was no crisis. I think his exact words were, “This looks like a good time to invest money.”
Though billions have been affected by poor management of national economies, Harper is concerned only about millions. I don’t know what the rest of you think, but it sounds like a good time to reduce spending and save as much money for the future as possible.
Do you find this summative message from the G20 summit deep in wisdom? (And remember, Canadian taxpayers must now face the $1.4 billion security bill and costs related to damage).
“Getting some countries to save more and some countries to spend more is what the economists call an attempt to ‘rebalance global demand’ and it’s an important objective if the world is to have ‘sustainable and balanced global growth.’”
You there. Spend more.
Wait, wait. We’re not talking about you.
(When will we get the country by country ‘Spend, Don’t Spend’ list?)
How about this statement?
“(When stimulus plans) run their course, all countries agree they have to do something right away to deal with the oceans of red in they’re in because of these stimulus plans.”
Is that deep wisdom I’m smelling?
***
No snap judgements here.
Hmmm... let me think... what is that smell?
