Wow, the hemorrhaging is still taking place? That's nasty. I had no idea it was still going so poorly.

Coincidentally, just today I was musing over the state of affairs here in Canada, as they are discussing yet another rate hike just after one was made on Tuesday:

Quote:
The Bank of Canada raised its key lending rate to 0.75 per cent on Tuesday, and is the only G7 central bank to hike rates since the recession began.
Rates expected to rise despite benign inflation report

Our recent inflation numbers point to a seven-month low, and the Bank of Canada is beginning to move away from stimulus mode.

It's odd, though, considering how dependent our economy is on the American economy. I still don't know how we've remained so robust this whole time comparatively. *Knocks on wood* I guess it's a sign that we're more economically diverse and/or independent than we were traditionally.
