Are You Kidding Me?
I'll get back to politics in a tic - it all got too ghastly to deal with, especially when I was in Ottawa with 35 cm of snow, -20 degrees and transit strike.
But I have to really wonder what our fellow citizens and media are doing these days. Take a look at these headlines from the Calgary Herald:
Alberta rig count at lowest level since '93
Land sale prices hit 10-year low
TSX slips up on oil drop
Calgary home sales slide to lowest since '96
And then this gem:
Canadians not deflated about economic outlook
Huh? Unbelievable. Stay tuned folks - it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

In reality, we are NOT in worse conditions than the dirty thirties (which is one outlook I'd heard a while back) and in my humble (or not so humble) opinion, the media is largely to blame for inflating these issues, and I think that the Canadians who are "not deflated..." realize this and don't buy in to the hype.
The ecconomy is normalizing after having been so hyper-inflated. It's not all doom and gloom.
