Mike’s Midweek Comment
Bank of Canada says we have had 5 quarters of growth ringing in with 3.7% the last three quarters in a row., and budget deficit numbers coming in at less than 20 billion. An 18.4 billion year end deficit is 7 billion more than they last outlined in the Federal Budget. No roadmap yet for balancing the budget.

There is no evidence that the initiative and work ethic that small businesses throughout the land exhibit is appreciated by Government. For one, with the increased CPP contributions, the self employed and small businesses pay double what Government employees or employees of major corporations pay. Then there’s property taxes in major cities!!!
