I'm more cautious about giving this government, or any other for that matter a pat on the back for economic performance.  The lack of growth over the last 10 years has been largely due to low productivity growth, caused by low business investment.  With the liberals poised to hammer small business with further tax increases I wonder how much influence they've had over growth.

Mr Rosenberg is well known as a conservative economic observer so this article by him is a bit of a surprise, particularly after the rather negative take he wrote about a week ago.  One wonders how well Glusken Scheff has done recently?
