But while plunging assets are terrifying people, the real danger lies in the disappearance of credit, in a world which now gorges on it.Yesterday Canadian mortgages got more expensive, which is the last thing staggering real estate markets need. Already concerns are being raised that massive new projects in the oil sands are being threatened by falling oil and soaring debt charges. Routinely yesterday, bankers across the country were refusing new applications for personal and business lines of credit.
One hour later:
Central banks in several countries, incuding Canada, have slashed interest rates. News also comes that the American government is urging Canadian financial institutions to buy up defaulting US mortgages to help save the economy there.Posted by: foobius at October 8, 2008 1:52 PMWhat a plan. Cut loan costs to encourage borrowing in a debt crisis, and shovel our bank money into their trash assets. This is out of control.
Gee, I'll miss the gold mine of intellectual output at garth.ca.

Posted by: The Phantom at October 8, 2008 3:17 PMIs this guy completely having a meltdown before our eyes, I guess its been happening for a while actually.
Posted by: Momorider at October 8, 2008 3:35 PMGarth is an archetype....a compilation of the sleaziest traits that politicians, investment advisers, car curbers and circus promoters can offer. As such he is fun to mock but the pleasure wears thin and is replaced by pity when it becomes grotesque....

Posted by: syncrodox at October 8, 2008 6:42 PMHm perhaps he could find "gainful employment as a "bell ringer" at a large cathedral, Notre Dame comes to mind. Great question from the " Conservative Candidate" That's gonna leave a mark, but it's not like its a one hundred foot houseboat, with jet ski, or hey "multiple residences" in the Gulf Islands
Cheers Bubba
Didn't take me that long to get banned by Mr. Champion of Free Speech. Just one comment. LOL!
Posted by: Doug at October 8, 2008 6:52 PMGarth gets a chubbie when he lies.
Posted by: WL Mackenzie Redux at October 8, 2008 6:53 PMKate,
I clicked on the underscored asterisk without thinking and got shot to Garth's blog.
Now I feel... contaminated somehow.
Can't you give your readers more of a heads-up?
Posted by: Alienated at October 8, 2008 7:23 PMI got some more spam mail from the Garth today...said something about 'truth'.
I replied with the truth.
Posted by: bluetech at October 8, 2008 7:27 PMFor a politician trying to get re-elected Garth is hanging around schools way too much.
Posted by: Bocanut at October 9, 2008 1:17 AMThe Conservative candidate didn't show up - this was the green gal clutching - according to the story ...was garth seeing things that give him nightmares..like Conservatives under his bed and clutching microphones? Poor garthy.
