Let’s be outraged that whoever did the betraying will probably get a book deal, a sitcom, trade recipes with Hoda and Kathie Lee, and soon appear on ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ and ‘Dancing with the Stars.’”

"The Beer Store is owned by Molson Coors (Canadian and American owned), Anheuser-Busch InBev (the world’s biggest brewer, headquartered in Belgium) and Sleeman Brewaries (owned by Japan’s Sapporo Breweries)."
Time to give The Beer Store and the LCBO the raised digit: many of these small craft breweries are non-unionized and offer on-site retail purchases.

AND IN THE LAND OF RESPONSIBLE BANKING...
We're in good hands folks!
Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz said interest rates
will probably be lower than they have been in past economic cycles once the
current recovery is complete. “What I really think we are observing is a high
level of self responsibility through this,” Poloz said at the press conference.
“There is all kinds of anecdotal evidence that people are choosing to buy less
house than they qualify for because they don’t want to over-extend themselves,
that our banks are underwriting very carefully.” “It’s more like a post-crisis
repair job for the economy as opposed to a classic recovery,” he said.
“Frankly, we don’t have models for that, we’re just watching it happen.”
No mention of responsible government borrowing/spending here, eh?

As we've noted in the past, here in Canada, you really don't see free-minded citizens spontaneously rally to defend victims of expropriation-without-compensation. At best, people slow down to gawk and stare while they drive by the gory scene. Thankfully, we do have groups like the Frontier Centre (to tell stories you won't find on the CBC).

More from the Mises Institute:
"...it’s much easier to let this inflation tiger out of its cage than to get it back in. We have ample evidence that once inflation picks up, it’s extremely difficult to control."
"The Fed should draw several lessons from history about inflation. The first is that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. You treat inflation like sunburn, by protecting yourself before your skin turns red."
But how do you manipulate the voters if you don't manipulate the money market?

FCC RENAMED: FARM CREDIT UNLIMITED
Farmland Investors:
On Monday, April 14th, 2014 Farm Credit Canada ("FCC")
released its 2013 analysis of farmland price trends across Canada by province.
In all provinces, farmland values either increased or remained stable.
Saskatchewan experienced the highest average increase at 28.5%, followed by
Manitoba at 25.6% and Quebec at 24.7%.
Despite record Canadian farm debt that rises annually with
ensuing increased debt-servicing charges and predictions of higher interest
rates, federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz does not see a problem. “I compare
the debt to asset ratio and that is healthy. Farmers make decisions based on
their economy. Banks and lending institutions like FCC (Farm Credit Canada) are
smart, won’t stick their neck out too far (and) everything is covered well.”
But the C.D. Howe Institute says (ever-so-gently):
We find that all Crowns compete to some extent directly with
private financial institutions, and hence operate beyond any potential market
gap. FCC, whose share of total farm loans has grown from less than 15 percent
in the 1990s to 29 percent in 2011, appears to operate the farthest removed
from a complementary role. We also find that Crowns’ operations pose risks to
taxpayers and the overall economy – and that these risks seem to have grown in
recent years. In particular, the FCC has grown alongside a rise in the level of
farm indebtedness and a bidding-up in farm asset values, including
supply-managed farm quotas.
Ya think?
