Subject: Re: remarks by Curtis MacDonald
Those terrified by Curtis MacDonald's apocalyptic vision of a collapsing Canadian currency, accelerating hyperinflation, and a foreign boycott might find the following article to be of interest:
- �Helicopter Money� Why Economists Are Now Thinking the Unthinkable
- http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/2027157-helicopter-money-why-economists-are-now-thinking-the-unthinkable/
Unfortunately, MacDonald has declared that he has an undergraduate degree in economics, that his mind is made up, and that any debate is a waste of his time.
Too bad. The great economist John Maynard Keynes was noted for modifying his opinions. One pundit quipped, "If you have 6 economists, you will get 7 opinions, two from Maynard Keynes." And Keynes is also reported as saying, "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?"

Subject: Electric car revolution will render carbon tax redundant
Re: �Canada�s clean and green,� by Lorrie Goldstein, April 2.
Two-third of Canada�s power generation come from hydro electricity. As such, most of its carbon emission come from gasoline-powered cars. But Elon Musk�s all-electric Tesla 3 will put carbon-spewing gasoline-powered cars out of circulation within a few years.
Elon Musk, founder of California-based Tesla Motor Corporation, has been producing his highly sought after luxury electric car Tesla 5. Now, he is about to mass produce his all-electric Tesla 3 by the end of this year. Tesla Motors Model 3 is meant to appeal to the masses at $35,000 before incentives and more than 350 kilometres per charge. By comparison, the average new gasoline-powered car in the U.S. sells for about $33,000. Tesla will mass produce 500,000 electric cars this year, followed by about 2 million next year.
And Tesla is not alone. Later this year, Chevrolet will roll out its $30,000 Bolt EV. It, too, boasts more than 350 kilometres of range, aimed at eliminating �range anxiety,� the fear that a vehicle will run out of juice. VW has pledged to make every model as a plug-in hybrid by 2025. Every plug-in is effectively an electric car carrying a �range extender,� just in case. Hyundai Motor Co. promises eight plug-in hybrid models, plus two all-electric models by 2020. Toyota�s overhaul of plug-in Prius, boasting twice the battery range, will arrive before this year is out.
And that is just the start. Pasquale Romano, CEO of ChargePoint Inc., the world�s largest maker of electric car charging stations, says he works with most major car companies. �We have seen their plans to just electrify everything,� he said. Most of charging will take place at night when the demand for electricity is at its lowest.
With millions of cars not using gasoline most of the time, carbon emission will drop precipitously. We will not need carbon tax to keep fossil fuel use down.

Subject: Trudeau the (investment) banker
Trudeau, Couillard defend Bombardier aid after exec compensation rose last year
By: The Canadian Press 03/30/2017
After touring a Magna auto parts facility in Brampton, Ont., Trudeau was asked several times how he can justify the $372.5-million loan package announced in February for Bombardier's C Series and Global 7000 aircraft programs.
"We respect the free market and the choices that companies will make," Trudeau said. "But we also have a responsibility to ensure that the investments we make with taxpayers' dollars are leading to good jobs and growth."

Prime Minister of Canada announces support to Ford of Canada to create and maintain almost 800 jobs for Canadian workers
March 30, 2017 Windsor, Ontario
The Government of Canada is committed to making Canada a world-leading centre for innovation and a top destination for businesses to invest, to help create good, well-paying jobs, and strengthen the middle class.
That is why the Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today announced an investment of $102.4 million to Ford Motor Company of Canada, Ltd. The Government of Ontario will contribute an additional $102.4 million in support of this project. These investments will attract an additional $1 billion in research and development spending from Ford of Canada, and lead to the creation and maintenance of almost 800 good, middle class jobs for Canadian workers. http://pm.gc.ca/eng/news/releases
From 2011 to 2016 Ford issued 25 vehicle recalls. Most of the recalls listed were made in 2016-17, but involve vehicles dating back as far as 2005! We can be forgiven for questioning Ford�s quality control.
http://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/results-resultats.aspx?lang=eng&mk=4273!3712!3592!1867!8659!6126!5711!17580!5164!4862!4800!4745&md=0&fy=2011&ty=2016&ft=&ls=0&sy=0
Where does the federal government get the authority to tax us and use the money to make investments on our behalf? Trudeau and his minions are not investment bankers and do not have the expertise to make sound investments. They are tinkering in the economy with our money.
Bombardier and other giants all want the best deal they can get and have already canvassed the investment community for good deals. Trudeau and his minions can do better because they do not have client money at risk. The government can and has shrugged and walked away from a bad investment. Taxpayers get to hold the bag. $372.5 million to Bombardier and another $104.2 million to Ford is not pocket change. This is corporate welfare.
It is not a coincidence that both �investments� are in vote-rich Ontario and Quebec. Does anyone else sense self-serving favouritism? It seems to me that the federal government does not treat provinces equally.
