North American economy in retreat

Yes, Craig Roberts has been in the trenches at the US Treasury and the Wall Street journal, he knows what he is talking about. He really kicked the US main stream media in the teeth too! What a pitiful situation, I think it has probably become worse than what communist was??

I guess that is why they need those phony jobs reports to keep the $ strong. I heard a good interview
with Dr Craig Roberts

Canada is one of the few countries that did not QE and extra ordinary policies in the last few years and that is because our financial structure is more sound and our banks stronger thanks to all the nickle and dimimg fees imposed on all of us

Not sure if many on here yet. I seen the Kevin O'leary peice from the home page. I am more concerned about more Liberal spending if they get in, as they are leading in Polls in Ont. Any other thoughts here?
