So much for private sector
In Celtic tiger caged (Nov. 12), columnist Tom Ford offers his mea culpa for having touted Ireland as a lodestone for industries anxious to take advantage of its "European Union membership, low taxes, and big corporate subsidies," but which became a tombstone recently "when Ireland became the first Eurozone country to officially enter recession."
The Frontier Centre has also been writing of Ireland's exemplary free-enterprise economy. Manitobans should remember that the next time a Frontier Centre "fellow" tells us we could be as rich as Ireland if we just sell Manitoba Hydro, dump medicare, scrap the Canadian Wheat Board and turn our economy over to a low-taxed and highly subsidized private sector.
