"It's class warfare and my class is winning." Warren Buffett

The value of any commodity, ... to the person who possesses it, and who means not to use or consume it himself, but to exchange it for other commodities, is equal to the quantity of labour which it enables him to purchase or command. Labour, therefore, is the real measure of the exchangeable value of all commodities. (Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations Book 1, chapter V.)

The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works....(Barack Obama)

Is the Honeymoon for Canada's Conservatives Ending?

The opposition Liberal party has become the most popular political organization in Canada, according to a poll by Decima Research released by the Canadian Press. 33 per cent of respondents would support the Liberals in the next federal election.

The governing Conservative party is second with 31 per cent, followed by the New Democratic Party (NDP) with 15 per cent, the Bloc Québécois with 10 per cent, and the Green party also with 10 per cent. Support for the Grits increased by five points in a week, while backing for the Tories remained stable. (Link)
