As a person who works in the maritime industry, which is pretty conservative, this is cool*:
THE ILWU West Coast longshore workers have voted to “stop work to protest the US war and occupation on Iraq and Afghanistan on May Day 2008,” the ILWU said. All 29 ports on the U.S. West Coast are to be [...]

The maple leaf rises. From our international banker this morning:
Jobs, jobs, jobs. It has been heartening to follow the employment growth in Canada and Australia over the past few years. If the US overly deteriorates maybe there is still some where we can go. Canada created 46,400 jobs in January after a loss of 2900 [...]

But even I can see gargantuan holes in this plan:
With the economy’s prospects growing bleaker seemingly by the day, politicians in both parties have rallied around the three Ts, the mantra that any stimulus package needs to be timely, targeted and temporary.

Today is Boxing Day, which in the U.K. used to be the day when the servants (who of course had to serve Christmas day) got a rare day off to spend with their families, eating the boxed-up leftovers of their master’s feast. Lucky duckies!

This article sways me, unlike the author’s intent, to vote no on SJR8212. The author appears to have a significant vested interest in passing this amendment. And he is a lobbyist to boot. The author should have hired someone else to do his bidding. Notice he doesn’t bother to mention why [...]

“Investors seem to be moving money outside of the U.S. which leads us to believe they are planning for a continual U.S. dollar decline,” said Mark Meadows, currency strategist at Tempus Consulting in Washington.
But BushCo sez we need more Free Trade Agreements. Now.
Last week President Bush launched a campaign to win support for four [...]

Or were they? Bizarre protest video from a protest on behalf of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada, wherein three men dressed somewhat like the Black Block-types who are also there suddenly try to throw rocks and otherwise start trouble. When Don Coles - the president of the union - calls them out [...]

From The Beeb:

The move, which amounts to subsidies of about $23,000 per worker, could help safeguard 13,000 jobs in the state.…The firm had threatened to go to other neighbouring states, such as Minnesota and [...]
