“Don’t panic” is the prudent advice when investment markets drop dramatically but somehow when it comes to issues like climate change we’re surrounded by people telling us to do the opposite  – after all, it’s an “emergency.”

Not too many people know why when economies stall and markets drop, our only option is to hope central bankers drop interest rates despite the probability that it won’t do much good.

Not politicians – but ordinary citizens who get that the rail blockades and Teck’s cancellation of the Frontier Mine are terrible for Canada’s reputation as a good place to invest in jobs and the economy.
