That's a high compliment coming from you.<BR/><BR/>Jim - I don't think the Bank of Canada could do much if Harper decided to privatize it. Obviously it would become a political issue and his initiative would stand or fall depending on his strength in the Commons.<BR/><BR/>We do have a recent example of a battle between the Bank of Canada and the politicians. In the latter Diefenbaker era, Dief had a fight with the then Governor James Coyne (father of CBC reporter Andrew Coyne and uncle to Deborah Coyne - ardent anti Meech Lake advocate and mother of Trudeau's daughter)over monetary policy.<BR/><BR/>Although the case had some twists and turns Coyne left in 1961, effectively fired.<BR/><BR/>The result: Coyne was out as Governor and a new one replaced him.<BR/><BR/>So when the chips are down, I don't like the chances of the Bank of Canada standing in the way of a Government's determination.Darryl Raymakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905569596318855617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38400867.post-7834780472374922232008-10-20T00:45:00.000-07:002008-10-20T00:45:00.000-07:00I really enjoy tuning into your blog and hearing y...I really enjoy tuning into your blog and hearing your perspectives. With regard to Harper's far-right agenda, I started thinking about:<BR/>1) How our Bank of Canada was nationalized in the 1930's,<BR/>2) How Andrew Jackson got rid of the Second Bank of the United States in the 1830's, and his reasons for doing so,<BR/>3) How the US Federal Reserve was created and who controls it, <BR/>4) The turmoil in the financial markets and the new call for global financial reform<BR/>5) The current influence of people like David Rockefeller and his ilk on US politics (and if that influence has oozed onto Harper)<BR/>...so I emailed the Bank of Canada and asked them what would/could they do if Harper tried to privatize the Bank of Canada. No answer yet.<BR/>Any thoughts?Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02932023167869175429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38400867.post-71680529566811286022008-10-17T21:51:00.000-07:002008-10-17T21:51:00.000-07:00You're pretty funny.
