27.02.2004 Depuis plus de 20 ans, le mouvement féministe réclame une amélioration du Régime des rentes du Québec. Seul un régime public peut couvrir toutes les travailleuses et travailleurs, prévoir une pleine indexation au coût de la vie et tenir compte, du moins partiellement, des responsabilités familiales des femmes. Ainsi, c’est avec beaucoup de désarroi que neuf groupes de femmes ont pris connaissance du document de consultation Adapter le Régime de rentes aux nouvelles réalités du Québec.

26.02.2004 Sambiassa päätettiin siirtyä vuoden 2004 budjetin myötä progressiiviseen veromalliin. Uudistus alentaa pienituloisen enemmistön veroja ja kiristää harvojen suurituloisten verotusta. Väärinkäsitysten ja aidosti epäoikeudenmukaisten budjettiratkaisujen myötä valtaosa kansasta kuitenkin vastustaa verohelpotuksia.

26.02.2004 Down on Bay Street, the party is back on. This RRSP season, markets are up, and long-suffering-brokers' bonuses are once again flowing. The investment industry has been suffering its worst-ever crisis in confidence - yet some investors already seem willing to forgive and forget. Incredulous, economist Jim Stanford proposes an anti-tobacco-style shock-and-awe campaign to educate the public on the dangers of mutual funds.

20.02.2004 « Vive l'éthique dans les affaires ! » « Vive l'entreprise morale ! » Entendus lors du Forum économique mondial de Davos, ces cris traduisent un vœu : que le capitalisme rebondisse sur des bases assainies. Ce sera dur. Car, au moment même où ce désir s'exprimait, l'énormité de l'affaire Parmalat éclatait au grand jour. Qualifié de plus grand scandale financier en Europe depuis 1945, il laisse présager des ondes de choc semblables à celles, désastreuses, que provoqua en décembre 2001 la faillite frauduleuse du courtier en énergie Enron.

20.02.2004 Jo kahden vuoden ajan Kanadassa on valmisteltu lähes salassa parlamentilta sopimusta, jolla perustettaisiin vapaakauppa-alue Keski-Amerikan pienten valtioiden kanssa. Kohutun Amerikkojen vapaakauppa-alueen (FTAA) neuvotteluja julkinen kritiikki on selvästi hidastanut, joten nyt strategiaksi on tullut maiden vähittäinen "eristäminen" toisistaan pienemmillä sopimuksella, asiaa seurannut Esperanza Moreno uskoo.

20.02.2004 President Nestor Kirchner of Argentina is emerging as the leading nemesis of the International Monetary Fund and the private financial speculators in South America. Assuming office in May 2003 with less than a quarter of the popular vote, he now enjoys 85% support in the opinion polls due in large part to his determination to take on the neo-liberal policies that lead to the country's economic collapse in 2001-2.

19.02.2004 British Columbia tabled its promised balanced budget Tuesday. But economist Marc Lee warns that any economic shocks - like last year's forest fires - will throw the province back into the red. The precarious balance was achieved largely through more spending cuts, new "sin taxes," one-time accounting changes, and one-time revenues from selling off BC Rail. Bottom line: more pain from cuts, with that promised economic boom nowhere on the horizon.
