Brown states that former finance minister Greg Selinger is now "publicly dismissive of the need to run balanced budgets every year..." This would be a surprise given that as finance minister, Selinger has presided over 10 successive balanced budgets. If Brown is referring to the 2008 Balanced Budget, Fiscal Management and Taxpayer Accountability Act, this legislation simply allows for balancing the books over the business cycle using the average of the previous three years experience. This removes what experience has shown to be an unreasonable fiscal straight jacket and allows for longer-term planning, accounts for unanticipated events such as natural disasters, avoids program cuts that could do more harm than good and is consistent with what a number of other jurisdictions have alread...

The current era is both exciting and confusing. A lot of changes are going on in China. There are both crises and opportunities. In this essay, I want to introduce many exciting recent developments of contemporary Christianity in China. All the developments show that the Chinese church is already taking deeper and deeper roots in China, and there are a lot of opportunities for the church to participate in culture and society. Many Chinese, both common people and intellectuals, have a renewed appreciation of the strength and relevance of the Christian faith, and many others are crying out for something that can satisfy their spiritual longing. Yes, indeed many people are searching for God, or perhaps it is God Himself who has been actively searching for the Chinese since very early times.
...It is natural for the Chinese to treat Christianity as a moral a... that even after some immense social disasters for which we all share some responsibility, the Ch...
