CPR to lengthen freight trains, says Harrison
by
•The musings of Hunter Harrison, the new president of Canadian Pacific Railway may be of more than passing interest to residents of Rosedale and Moore Park. They own the homes that sit on either side of the busy CP thoroughfare in central Toronto. Mr. Harrison was showing off his decisive command today in New York as the company announced it will cut 4,500 jobs by 2016. In a remark which may be of interest to South Bayviewites, Mr. Harrison also said CP will seek more efficient use of its trains. CP will be increasing its train length and efficiency, in order to haul more with fewer trains. It’s hard to imagine that trains could get much longer. Globe and Mail.

•Flaherty says housing market is under control
by
•Finance Minister Jim Flaherty says we’ve got the housing market under control and he’s not worried about a collapse. The reason, he says, is that he has helped cool the market with a round of stricter mortgage rules. The finance minister says he is also encouraged that taxpayers are paying down their mortgages and credit cards, and taking on less debt. A soft landing in housing is better than a boom followed by a bust. Overall, the country’s economy advanced slightly by 0.6 per cent, about half the expected growth predicted by the Bank of Canada.
