StephenT's Canadian Politics and Economics page

"What is the evidence, and what does it mean?" Bill James

Articles I've written:

Canadian Economy Update (May '97) (includes real GDP/capita, job creation, debt burden, income distribution and lots more)
October 30, 1995: Canada's Come-From-Behind Victory
Read the Referendum Bill (It's Separation) (Oct '95)
Freer Trade Didn't Cause the Recession (Jan '93)
Review of Nuala Beck's Shifting Gears (Jan '93) (a great book about the emerging knowledge economy)
The New Economy Is Here (Nuala Beck's research shows that more Canadians work in the "new economy" than you might think)
GDP per Person on PPP Basis, 1990 (explains the common mistake people make which causes them to underrate Canada's standard of living, and overrate Japan's and Germany's productivity)

I'll post more of my old articles when time permits, and probably some new ones too.

Links:

The Economist (the publication which advocates views closest to my own is this British news weekly)
Statistics Canada (some people knock their numbers, but they can be very insightful if used properly)
Canadiana (the best Canada web site, maintained by Stewart Clamen)
Financial Post (Canadian news source)
Parliamentary site (I'm looking forward to when all of Canada's laws (and proposed laws) are online and searchable)
can.politics newsgroup (I don't browse this group too often these days)
Canadian Politics mailing list (has occasional spurts of activity)
