Inflation is bred to the bone

October 19, 2022 By Greg Mason

Financial Post, September 28, 2022 The current spike in inflation has its origin in the pandemic, which in one respect is good news: supply chains will eventually unclog and pent-up spending will abate, either because interest rates bite or financial markets force governments to pare back.

Time for an adult conversation about taxes

September 21, 2022 By Greg Mason

Winnipeg Free Press, September 2, 2022 Earlier this year while cleaning out some old files I found my property tax assessment from 1993.

His mother Joyce Milgaard, Lloyd Axworthy, and the lawyer who believed his story, Hersch Wolch, deserve recognition for their efforts in righting a […]

Winnipeg Free Press, April 8, 2022 It is curious that the only recent indicator I have seen that COVID-19 still stalks us is that Kyle Connor and Nate Schmidt of the Winnipeg Jets were placed in virus protocol last week. I do not know what Canada’s self-styled virologists in chief (Stefanson, Kenney, Ford et al) […]
