Prime Minister Stephen Harper: Swiss Alps Retreat

German Chancellor Angela Merkel Dept: Still, it s a shift worth noting that the high and mighty of the world economy, at their annual Swiss Alps retreat, were paying attention to the fact that inequality is now a source of political and economic instability, according to The Chronicle Herald. Not all the old ideas need tossing out. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, along with British PM David Cameron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, pushed sensibly for a free flow of goods and services with Mr. Harper stressing immigration, as well . These doors must be kept open to maximize opportunities of people everywhere to work and to share the dynamic growth of emerging markets and tALKING about the woes of inequality while enjoying five-star amenities at a Davos hotel is far nicer than living them in the wastes of Detroit or pounding streets for hard-to-find jobs in rural Nova Scotia. Hopefully this new theme at the World Economic Forum really is a reality check and high-rollers have learned something from the 2007-09 crash and their inability to set things right with the old playbook.
