There are people who are selling their gold to cover losses on the stock market," manager Cameron Giesbrecht says. "Then there are the people who are cashing out of the market and want to put their money somewhere temporarily or permanently. "If you lived in Poland, Hungary, Russia, Ukraine, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Ireland -- you name the country," [Jamie Horvat] says, "whose currency and whose government bonds do you want to own?" "When you get into a crisis, historically, gold becomes the currency when people are nervous, and clearly that's happening," [Patrick Cooney] says. "You can't print it or manufacture it like you can money."
The Harper government claims that it is keen to develop a strong policy towards Latin America. Yet it is a flawed approach, supporting US policy at a time when it is at its lowest point in decades, while ignoring both a clear leftward swing of elected Latin American governments in the last five years and the significant importance of Cuba in the region. This paper examines the Harper government's approach to Cuba. Following some general comments on the evolution of Canadian policy towards revolutionary Cuba, it examines some of the errors in the Harper approach, suggests an explanation for the approach employed, and makes suggestions about policies that Ottawa should consider to improve relations. In sports terms, Cuba "punches above its weight"-a fact which is known widely in Latin Ame...

So ingrained is this reputation that when Chile's president recently met Britain's prime minister and boasted of her government's foresight in saving some of its windfall revenues during the boom years, George Osborne, the shadow chancellor of the exchequer, sneered: "Gordon Brown is getting lessons from the Latin Americans about sound public finances. You couldn't make it up. Happily, Osborne's view of Latin America is outdated, or at least it now applies in only a few places. Over the past decade, most of the bigger countries in the region have greatly improved their economic policies and the government institutions that implement them. What's more, its governments have been able to cushion the blow with counter-cyclical policies of the kind that the rich world has taken for granted ...
