Canadian Exports: Prime Minister Stephen Harper

Prime Minister Stephen Harper: Despite generous corporate tax cuts, massive deficit financing and an all-out effort to open up much-needed new markets for Canadian exports, the rebound from the 2008-09 recession has never lived up to Finance Minister Jim Flahertys expectations, according to The Star. Still, Harper knows that focusing on the economy is a political no-brainer and OTTAWA Prime Minister Stephen Harper will use the throne speech to try to make a virtue out of an economy that has defied all efforts by the Conservatives to bring it back to full health. Economic growth in Canada has fallen short of the forecasts cited in Flahertys annual budgets for the past five years and 2013 will be no different. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
