本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛2008年第四季度加拿大受油价暴跌,米国金融危机,安省和魁省制造业受挫和消费者圣诞节减少支出等多重打击下, 经济只收缩了0.8%.本来当是算不错的表现,但G&M等媒体却大喊”太惨了”. 不知是何用心.
这次经济危机有点怪的是媒体和大众的感觉MS不同, 从去年开始, 媒体就在说天要塌了,而大众的生活却没有多大影响.到了二月尤其明显.而且不光是卡城.在那篇G&M的报道的评论中,很多读者提出了同样的问提. 其中一个是安省的机械推销员:
Carl Sterritt from Canada writes: I'm an industrial products sales rep covering Southern Ontario. My projections were increased vs. last year and I'm exceeding them so far. The cities with growing industries have offset the automotive decline. Smart people are still spending money and making money. Stupid and uninformed people believe that it's as bad as the G&M tells them. Either that or they believe the CAW. I think they've outlived their value and we could do without them.
当前的经济和历史上经济危机很不同, 米加的失业率都在较低水平,通涨更是低.多数公司的困难是资金周转的问题而不是经营的问题.裁员多是为了省钱而不是岗位多余,过了资金周转困难时期还会再把人雇回来.
而受打击最大的股市和Wall Street则是泡沫太大,早就该收缩了.要防止的左派们趁火打劫,把损失转嫁给普通老百姓.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
