Business group calls for tax cuts, warmer U.S. relations
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is urging federal politicians to turn their attention to the broader economy and to come up with a co-ordinated strategy to deal with a highly competitive, volatile global marketplace.

The chamber's political priorities:

– "Competitive" taxes, a lower national debt and effective government spending

– Improving Canada-U.S. relations through better border infrastructure, regulatory co-operation and easier travel

– Agreements to dismantle barriers to international trade and investment, and eliminate interprovincial trade barriers.

– A "market-based approach" to energy, with technology-neutral efficiency standards and "a balanced and effective framework" to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

– "Smart regulations" to encourage research and development, combat counterfeit products and protect intellectual property.

– Increasing labour market participation by immigrants and older workers

– Improving infrastructure and transportation, with more public-private partnerships.

And people believe this bunk.
If you start out with the wrong beliefs you end up with dangerous conclusions.


Reminds me very much of someone else whose name starts with "H".
