Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed told a 1000 strong Progressive Conservative fundraiser in Halifax that Canada should stop automating its monetary policy to mirror the United States. He warned ongoing high borrowing costs hurt manufacturers and urged reliance on Canada’s resource strengths and energy policy to spur jobs and a bigger domestic market.
