How not to be a loser

Article Abstract:

The influence of information technology is expected to continue until 2017. It has already affected the growth and demise of several manufacturing sectors such as the automobile and typewriter industries. Information technology will most deeply affect industries such as insurance and accounting which rely on the exchange of information. Technology is expected to shift the demand for jobs from one area to another in the next decades. The service sectors such as leisure, social, information, and business will most likely see an explosion of demand for new jobs as a result of the greater emphasis on automated manufacturing.

One rabbit too many

Article Abstract:

In 1984 the budget deficit of Canada was $38.5 billion. At that point it was decided that the government would attack the deficit problem via controlling federal expenditures and via tax reform and deregulation. Currently, eight years later, the deficit stands at $34.4 billion in 1992. Although the government's strategy was successful in curbing federal expenditures and reforming taxes, the attack was rendered less effective because of the recession and the increasing national debt, which rose from $244 billion in 1984 to $457.2 billion in 1992.

Burying our heads in the sand

Article Abstract:

It is risky for Canadians to remain indifferent to the constitutional issue regarding Quebec's reported plan to separate from Canada. An independent Quebec dollar, which would certainly be devalued against the Canadian dollar, would surely trigger a banking catastrophe. A devaluation of 10% to 20% would be inevitable, according to experts.
