Russian-Turkey "tensions" Canada to help "de-escalate"

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

While the international focus is on the climate talks in Paris this post has been produced to ensure you are aware of an incident of as yet unknown consequences .  
Actions have been in process for four-five years seeking to remove Assad as the President of Syria without success.
Russia has entered combat working with the Syrian Government ground forces effectively attacking the ISIS positions from the air.
You may consider what follows of little import. To me, however , knowledge is of importance  or consequences that may flow from positions being taken.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Canada is returning to acting in a positive manner .

The following details the crisis nature for you.

Re:  How the Liberals can pay for their platform: Goar , Nov. 18

http://www.thestar.com/opinion/commentary/2015/11/18/how-the-liberals-can-pay-for-their-platform-goar.html

In the United Kingdom, the previous head of the British Financial Services Authority Lord Turner has begun advocating "monetary financing", that is, funding government deficits by simply creating money through the central bank and then spending it. In a time of stagnation, this may be superior to balancing the budget through taxing, since the effect of taxation is contractionary, which counters the intent of stimulating the economy.

For those who shudder at the fear of looming hyperinflation, please remember that most money is created by banks through the process of loans, and any subsequent spending carries the exact same inflation risks as government disbursements. Provided the economy has unused capacity and unused resources that can be mobilized (as for example unemployment), the risk of inflation is very low whatever the source of funds.

As long as the economy is under-performing, the government can inject money into infrastructure and services. There is no need to balance the federal budget, since unlike a business or a province, the federal government can always create money without the need to tax or borrow. The balanced budget rules are residuals from the days of the gold standard, when national governments could run out of gold. But the world has been off the gold standard for some 40 years. It's time for economists  to update their texts, and politicians their talking points.

Larry Kazdan,

Footnotes:

1. Overt Monetary Financing (OMF)

Bill Mitchell is a Professor in Economics and Director of the Centre of Full Employment and Equity (CofFEE), at the University of Newcastle, NSW, Australia.

http://bilbo.economicoutlook.net/blog/?p=31487

OMF simply means that in some form or another, the treasury arm of government tells the central bank it wants to spend a particular amount and the latter then ensures those funds are available for use in the government�s bank account.

2.  Overt Monetary Financing � again

 http://bilbo.economicoutlook.net/blog/?p=32361

From Adair Turner:  The Case for Monetary Finance � An Essentially Political Issue

Monetary finance of increased fiscal deficit will always stimulate aggregate

nominal demand: in some circumstances it will be a more certain and/or less

risky way to achieve that stimulation than any alternative policy lever: and the scale of stimulus can be

appropriately calibrated and controlled � there is no knife edge nonlinearity which makes dangerously high inflation inevitable.

3.  Our Sovereign Fiat Currency System and Our Inability to Involuntarily Run out of Money

http://www.correntewire.com/myths_scares_lies_and_deadly_innocent_frauds_updated_part_one

In 1971 the Nixon administration abandoned the gold standard and adopted a fiat monetary system, substantially altering what looked like the same currency. Under a fiat monetary system, money is an accepted medium of exchange only because the government requires it for tax payments. Government fiat money necessarily means that federal spending need not be based on revenue. The federal government has no more money at its disposal when the federal budget is in surplus, than when the budget is in deficit. Total federal expense is whatever the federal government chooses it to be. There is no inherent financial limit. The amount of federal spending, taxing and borrowing influence inflation, interest rates, capital formation, and other real economic phenomena, but the amount of money available to the federal government is independent of tax revenues and independent of federal debt.

Subject: Only a political solution can help contain ISIL

The Editor
National Post

Copy to: Mr. Andrew Coyne, Comment editor, National Post: You miss the real picture when you say: "Pulling out of the ISIL mission, likewise, strikes me as the triumph of ideology over reason." Canada's bombing mission against ISIL has failed to stop the extremists from ransacking Mosul, Ramadi and other parts of Iraq and Syria. Only a well-armed ground force can do the job.

Only a political solution can help contain ISIL

Re "Liberals step forward ambitiously," by Andrew Coyne and "Amid the bloodshed, signs of hope," by Kelly McParland, Oct. 29.

Andrew Coyne might have missed the real picture when he says: "Pulling out of the ISIL mission, likewise, strikes me as the triumph of ideology over reason." He seems not to realize that Canada's bombing mission in Iraq has failed to stop ISIL from overruning Mosul, Ramadi and other parts of Iraq and Syria.

In an earlier letter published in National Post ("Political solution needed," July 11, 2015), I wrote: "If Canada bombs the Assad regime, it will end up helping ISIS. If it bombs ISIL, it will end up helping the Assad regime. All Canada and the United States can -- and should -- do is to help the moderates on both sides with financial aid and training, and bring about a political solution. Outside military intervention will only add to the conflict ." The peace talks in Vienna to end the civil war in Syria are truly a ray of hope to bring an end to the bloody conflict in the region.

Kelly McParland is right when he says: "Canada's new Liberal government has pledged to pull our few fighter jets from the anti-ISIl coalition, reducing our involvement in the region to huanitarian activites." This is the way to go. Only by bringing together all factions, brutal ISIL can be contained. Canada can play a far more effective role by returning to its traditional peacekeeping role once all sides agree to ceasefire.
