Harper considering "Unprecidented" fiscal stimulus
11/24/2008 at 11:09 AM
Coming up in the news over the weekend was the idea that Stephen Harper is considering investing a substantial amount of money to help hold off a recession in our country.
Some money has already been used in recent weeks to purchase mortgages from CMHC. I can't find any kind of numbers on what Harper is considering, but will take the "Unprecidented" word at full value.
Do you agree with following in the footsteps of the US by having the government inject a substantial amount of money into the economy? or should this be something that the free market should be allowed to decide at the risk of falling into a recession?
