Greetings....

I think I might actually be posting to the most appropriate news groups 
now.....

Anyways,  I'm conducting some research on the development of electronic 
networks in Canada.  In doing a literature review, I've found few academic 
articles on the sociological or cultural implications of comp networks in 
Canada.  As you may have guessed, I'm in need of such references.

If you have any advice or information, as to where I might find such 
references, I would really appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks.

					chris

Technology (and crime) are making big cities obsolete...the big

It's all fine and dandy to quote Lincoln, but he was just as much of
a media and political manipulator (some call it "political skills")
as the present USA president. Heavy on symbolism and promises.
Vague (so far ...) on delivery.

The payroll expenditure of the NDP government has gone up 20% in 2
years.

Of course there is going to be a "shortfall" on the revenue side
when the provinces has come to rely on 10-15% increases in revenue
during the boom years through record high taxation during the good 
times.

The Feds helped bail out deHavilland and Algoma.  During the late
eighties, when spending exploded, just has to be redirected to welfare.
For the last couple of decades, the level of spending by the Ontario
government was around 15% of GDP...under the NDP it is now near 20%...
that is why there is a deficit...spending is 5% of GDP above normal
levels of spending.

The foolishness of the Ontario government in the late eighties with
double digit spending and taxation increases year after year created
not only Ontario's economic mess, but most of Canada's.

But this still leaves the question, how shall we determine economic
value?

If (as you suggest), we ought to deny that the "value" of human labour
can be determined using economic means, then that suggests that there
is NO valid evaluation of wages, and that a robber baron's guess at
the correct wages is as good as whatever you might propose.

The rate of increase of transfer payments has been limited by the
federal government...a rate of increase that remains larger than
the rate of increase in overall program spending by the federal
government (which means transfers have been treated less harshly
than other federal spending), and the rate of increase in federal
transfers has been maintained at above the rate of inflation.

(Municipalities in Ontario would be so lucky to have received the
same generous treatment by the provincial NDP government, who even
has reneged on commitments it made for increased provincial to 
municipal transfers less than the rate of inflation, and much
less than the rate of increase in program spending by the provincial
NDP...Bob Rae...the ultimate hypocrite).

Furthermore, the federal government has basically limited the increase
in program spending over its term in office to the rate of inflation.
Over the same period, program spending in Ontario has basically been
going up at 10% a year from the mid-eighties onward...which is why
when the recession hit, Ontario had no money in the till for a
Keynesian stimilus, because instead of saving during the good times,
it splurged.

Bob Rae is basically arguing now that we should abandon the principle
of equalization...that a have province like Ontario must receive the
same share as have-not provinces like Quebec.

Is the NDP for equalization or isn't it?

That's a bit harsh, don't you think? Come on. The man was elected in one of
the largest leadership non-conventions that has ever taken place. Now, just
because he wants to make sure that all those people get an equal chance to
vote (you know, the ones from Calgary as opposed to those Edmontonians) in
an election....what could be more CONSERVATIVE!
