This quarterly CUPE bargaining report is a must-read if you're interested in the state of the Canadian economy and a little bit of crystal ball-gazing. Put together by the folks at the Progressive Economics Forum - all of whom are the kind of economists who keep getting proved right again and again, even though nobody listens. They were even plagiarized by TD Bank. But people keep saying 'yeah, but they have an obvious political bias...' and I quote Colbert: yes, indeed, the truth does have a well-known liberal bias.
