Eye on the dome Manitoba tourism could do more
Manitoba tourism, a vital but limited sector, generated 1.13 billion in business last year, accounting for 3 percent of GDP and supporting about 60,200 jobs. The provincial government spends 7.7 million on direct tourism activities while tax revenue from tourism totals 119 million, prompting calls for broader support and a 26 member Ministerial Advisory Council on Tourism led by Ron Lemieux.

Turners view on Nine Eleven impact on markets
Garth Turner analyzes how September 11 reshaped markets and likely recovery paths. He notes lower mortgage rates, potential 4 percent variable rates, and a bear market with a 36 percent drop preceding the crisis. He argues the 1929 crash is not repeatable due to regulations, central bank tools, and a larger, more resilient economy.
