Martin shifts, deflects blame in new cabinet
Ottawa’s prime minister unveiled a 39 member Liberal cabinet with few surprises and defections from the Chretien era. Scott Brison becomes minister of public works and Ujjal Dosanjh heads health while Bill Graham moves to defence amid concerns. Critics urge scrutiny of costs and decisions including Sea King replacement and cabinet size.

Gold versus stock wealth in an era of deflation
The piece weighs bullion as a store of wealth as gold hovers near 390, down from 400, and contrasts past crises with today’s deflationary signals. It cites Goldcorp ads, gold-bug zeal, and the idea of a decade-long cycle, while noting low inflation, falling prices, and favorable real interest effects for growth.
