From now until October all the federal parties will be telling us how they plan to help the shrinking middle class. Much of what they are proposing is simply competing forms of income redistribution. Most of it misses the underlying causes.
The Liberals promise to tax the rich in order to reduce taxes for the middle class. The NDP will help by hiking the minimum wage and not raising personal income tax rates. They'll raise corporate taxes instead. The Conservatives say income splitting and targeted tax credits are the best way to help the middle class.
These promises are merely playing at the edges of the income stagnation and job dislocation being experienced by some of Canada's middle class. Our political leaders don't talk much about the core causes because they're short on solutions.
For example,
Jake Doherty's second novel, Bearwalker Alibi, is now on the proverbial shelves. The Hub is pleased to serialize Jake's short story "Death in Safe Harbor", set just up the Bruce Peninsula. The first installment is available starting today in our Arts - Fiction section.
Jake Doherty's latest novel, "Bearwalker Alibi", carves out the reconciliation road between Manitoulin Island's white and aboriginal communities.
The retired newspaper publisher and editor has rare skills right for this time. He's almost 80 and presciently draws on deep research and his professional career that looked behind the headlines, often before they were written.
"To be clear, I didn't begin writing this book with the reconciliation in mind," he said, " but I had been intrigued by news reports that a young Ojibwa had relied on an old tribal myth as defense in a murder trial on Manitoulin. He said he believed the victim had placed a curse on him.
"Could a white judge accept that? That question became ...

What are we to make of Mr Harper's and Mr Miller's continuing attempts to control political discourse?
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that Larry Miller has agreed to attend two debates. But there are more in the offing, including the usual radio debate on CFOS and another on Rogers TV whose audiences have certainly not made up their minds.
The difficulty for democracy is that whoever is thinking of hosting a debate may now decide not to because they know Mr Miller won't show up.
That would be a mistake because, in this election especially, we need more discussion of the issues. We, as candidates for public office, should be presenting our knowledge and beliefs, in public, from one end of Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound to the other.
And what are we to make of Dean Del Mastro,
Below is the full text of the letter to Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities from Bill Walker, MPP for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound.
Hon. Reza Moridi
Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities
1ih Floor, 77 Wellesley Street West
Toronto, Ontario M7 A 1N3
Dear Minister Moridi:
With a volatile economy, rural Ontario is looking to your government to help promote small businesses, entrepreneurship and create jobs in our communities.
For over two decades, this support was made possible through the Ontario Self EmploymentBenefit program, known as OSEB. In fact, the OSEB program was a success in my riding of Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound, providing financial support and business planning advice to help retrain laid-off workers starting their ownbusiness. Since 2005, as many as 400 constituents in my riding alone went on to start abusiness, and to create new jobs in our region because of this benefit.
The Bleeding Carrot, Dr. Cobbler's Shoes & Swirls and Elsie's Diner, with the latter now employing 18 people, are just a few successful highlights.
