The interest in inflation
Article Abstract:
Economists in Canada are divided over the issue of controlling interest rates in order to avert inflation. Some argue that an adjustment in short-term interest rates is necessary to control inflation since lowering or increasing rates directly affects money supply. Other analysts believe that higher interest rates are unnecessary following trends in North American which have not given credence to the relation between money supply and inflation for the past two decades.

The critical masses
Article Abstract:
Business in Canada is forecasted to post a continued growth but workers are expected to ask for due compensation. People in the managerial and administrative level should learn and understand that the employees are the deciding voices on matters of economic policies. It is therefore necessary to implement administrative measures that both benefit the management and the working community, to protect the rights of these employees.
