The Heavy News Weekly

When the business and political leaders of the 1860s were able to convince Donald Smith and the builders of the Canadian Pacific Railway to go through Winnipeg, not Selkirk, Winnipeg's future was guaranteed.

Our city grew and prospered to become the third-largest city in the young country of Canada. We were "the Gateway to the West" and "the Chicago of the North."

The trains pulled into Union Station with thousands of immigrants after both world wars, my family being among that group in the early 1950s.

The station was bustling with young, eager Europeans by themselves or with their families pouring off the trains.

The Europeans brought their skills in the trades and quickly were absorbed into the workforce or created their own businesses, machine shops, woodworking, plumbing shops, etc.

From those early beginnings, we have approximately 60,000 people employed in manufacturing in plants spread throughout the various industrial parks in the various communities that became Winnipeg.

In many cases, these plants still need rail transport for raw materials and finished goods to remain competitive in the marketplace.

Moving Winnipeg's railway lines: Handle with care By Peter Kaufman Previously published in The Winnipeg Free Press April 6, 2014

Make no mistake, the industrial jobs in our city, along with the transportation jobs (both rail and trucking) that service these industries, are the main reasons Winnipeg has been able to weather the economic storm that has wracked so many cities. We have a mixed, diversified economy cities in oil-rich Alberta wish they had. Winnipeg has no big ups, but no big downs either. continued on page 2

Moving Winnipeg's railway lines, continued from page 1 So before we go off on a tangent with an idea to rid the city of rails, let's have a serious look to make sure we are not going to rid the city of much-needed jobs. Manufacturing jobs create five to seven jobs each in the supply and service sector, so we need to be careful what we wish for.

That is not to say we cannot make improvements; we can and we are. The railroads built this city and should be included in its future. I see the future with a dedicated rail corridor and marshalling yards shared by our three railroads and an efficient, just-in-time delivery and shipping system. Unless we can get our city and province to be more competitive and have government, education and business work co-operatively to maintain and increase those 60,000 manufacturing jobs, this dedicated rail corridor is just a pipe dream. Making this happen will take real leadership between the rail industry, three levels of government and the business community. We will need someone who has the energy to be the champion for 10 or 15 years to make it go forward.

We have to protect the jobs. Manufacturing jobs in Canada are fragile at best. We have seen Canadian manufacturing slip from 18 per cent of the GDP to about 10 per cent. While Manitoba has been able to do better than that, we have lost two plastics plants in the past few weeks, and Canada Wire is now home to the Church of the Rock. Nothing wrong with a church but it does not have hundreds of employees and does not pay taxes.

The 11 communities that made up Winnipeg each have centres of employment -- there are industrial parks in Fort Garry, Inkster, St. Boniface and St. James. People tend to buy houses close to their work and schools, and shopping centres were built to accommodate these citizens. We need to consult broadly to make changes with minimal harmful fallout. If we do it right, it can be a win-win for all parties concerned. The railway created the Winnipeg that is, and poor planning in moving the rails could do irreparable harm to the city. If you could dream, it would be high-speed rail east to west -- Winnipeg to Calgary in five hours, with the Mississippi watershed connected to Churchill and Winnipeg as the transportation hub of North America. A lot of forces would have to pull in the same direction to make that happen.

Peter Kaufmann, a former city councillor and two-time mayoral candidate, is a commercial real estate broker.

Of Circles and Cycles

By Peter Hall, Vice-President and Chief Economist April 9, 2015

Others advocated that other key public policy lever, interest rates. Low rates were aimed at getting the wheel going more quickly. The resulting flood of cash did convince us that money was available, preventing bank runs. Low rates were nice, but nobody - not firms, definitely not consumers - was in a borrowing mood. Lots of the liquidity ended up just sitting around.

The subsequent three years of slow motion have ignited the debate what really gets an economy going. Everywhere, pundits are picking their point on the circular flow diagram, certain that "it will start here". Others suggest that it won't start anywhere; growth is permanently slower, for a variety of structural reasons. Can we make any sense of the circle, or is it by its very structure, a mystery?

To some, the answers lie in psychology. Even here, the growth and decline triggers are nebulous, making for even more tightly circuitous reasoning. What we are really left with is the frustration that against all efforts to the contrary, the economy still experiences cycles, and not just small ones.

Globalization, innovation, fiscal wizardry and gutsy monetary experimentation haven't been able to stave it off. If growth and decay are inevitable, it then becomes essential to understand in real time what point of the business cycle the economy is at. That's a tall order. Is it possible?

Embedded at the core of economic activity is a key signal: prices. By their ups and downs, they illustrate moments of plenty, of shortage, of weak purchasing or red-hot demand. They catch the interplay of these. But they are no mere output of the system; they also influence supply and demand.

This is where deflation can be so debilitating. Firms faced with excess product slash prices to move their goods and services along. When this becomes general habit, and persists for a long time, folks get used to it, and they delay purchases as long as possible. It's a conundrum we find ourselves close to now, and we only need look to Japan to see how debilitating deflation can be.

The bottom line? The debate on growth will likely be circuitous well beyond the start of the next growth cycle. In all the banter, it’s critical that we not forget the role of prices, and that in the current context, a little inflation may not be a bad thing at all.

And remember, of the two ills of pricing, it's the one that central banks really know how to cure.

Tired of the long, drawn-out debate on future economic growth? You're in good company. It's a necessary debate, because our individual livelihoods depend on it. But it's a frustrating one, because there's little agreement, and the arguments are of times circuitous - even those made by the 'experts'. Is there a way out of the analytical quagmires that we are currently up to our axles in?

Economists come by circular thinking honestly. Prominent in the first few pages of first-year textbooks is the circular flow diagram. It posits that the economy is a continuum, with a simultaneity of activities that make it difficult to determine beginning or end.

You get a job, you get paid, you buy stuff that wasn't being bought before, firms increase production, they hire more people who then consume more, and so forth. In the mean time, governments levy taxes and re-inject funds at some other point on the continuum. Similarly, imports leak money out of the system, but exports bring money back in. Simple, right? When things are functioning well, yes. But slowdowns mess things up - this circular flow is so tight that it can be extremely difficult to actually see the key sources of weakness.

Some don't really care, suggesting that weakness is the time for governments to step in, borrowing if necessary to get the economy going with spending injections. That's where context is important. In this latest go-round, the economy entered the down-cycle vastly over-stimulated.

Global government intervention, as significant as it was, proved akin to curing the hangover with vast amounts of liquor, postponing the inevitable. It bought us time, but little else except a mountain of debilitating debt.
