Well, the Economy is as crumbling around us as we speak. To deal with the problem, Harper has presented his six point plan. Here is the plan such as it is:

* Hold a first ministers meeting to discuss the global financial crisis. Harper did not specify a date for the meeting.
* Continue to work with other G7 nations to take "appropriate actions" to support Canada's financial system.
* Summon Parliament to meet in the fall. Harper did not give a date for the resumption of Parliament.
* Send Harper to meet with European Union leaders later this week to discuss the economic crisis and strengthen Canada's economic partnership with the EU.
* Attend a summit of G-20 finance ministers in Brazil in early November.
* Continue a review of departmental spending.


Seems a tad empty to me really. I mean it's pretty much "We'll keep doing what we were doing and hope everything turns out. Granted, stronger ties with the EU would be nice for Canada and attending these global summits can only lead to good things (assuming people can agree on something.) Well time will tell, WE shall see what happens in the course of the next few years.
