Financial Post, NASDAQ article, and iPolitics: Canada gains a new leading economic indicator

October 11, 2012 – The release of MLI’s inaugural Leading Economic Indicator has received a great deal of attention in the media. It is highlighted in the Financial Post (republished in The Province) and in a NASDAQ article by Paul Vieira. It is also highlighted on 4-traders and iPolitics.

MLI’s index will give policymakers, business and investors six month’s notice on significant changes in Canada’s economic performance.

The inaugural Leading Indicator showed a slight gain for August – 0.1% in August after four consecutive months of 0.2% gains. The slow, steady growth of this indicator suggests the Canadian economy will avert a downturn in 2012.

Famous words

I think every true reformer, every real friend of liberty, will agree with me in saying that if we must erect safeguards, they should be rather for the security of the individual than of the mass, and that our chiefest care must be to train the majority to respect the rights of the minority, to prevent the claims of the few from being trampled underfoot by the caprice or passion of the many. For myself, sir, I own frankly I prefer British liberty to American equality. — Richard Cartwright
