In this editorial, The Globe and Mail picked up on a persistent message from AIMS that the Employment Insurance program needs revamping. It refers to AIMS' work and concludes a little tweaking just won't solve the problems of the EI program.
Global containerization is expected to double over the next decade. In this article in Canadian Sailings, Julie Gedeon explains that container flow to North America is predicted to soar by 75 per cent from 41.1 million TEUs to 72 million TEUs by 2015. It's a golden opportunity for Atlantica.

Most of us expect the highest quality drinking water, for the lowest possible price. In his fortnightly column, Brian Lee Crowley points out that expectation is unrealistic. We have to start paying the true cost of this resource. This column appeared in the Moncton Times-Transcript, while a slightly different version appeared in the Halifax Chronicle-Herald.
AIMS' latest paper on private universities prompted Daily News columnist Brian Flemming to examine the possibilities in his regular weekly column. He says the time has come to think seriously about privatization, and King's College is a prime candidate.
In his fortnightly column, AIMS president Brian Lee Crowley provides some economics-based insight into the health care debate. And he points out that we should leave the medicine to those trained in medicine, and the economics to those trained in economics. As he puts it, "Just as no one should want to be treated by a doctor who claims to have learned his or her medicine in economics journals, we should avoid getting our health care economics from medical journals."

Brian Lee Crowley, président de Atlantic Institute for Market Studies, écrit: "Un récent éditorial publié par le Journal de l'Association médicale canadienne, soutenait ceci: "Nous devons nous souvenir qu'à peu près tout le monde s'entend pour dire que les soins de santé prodigués par le secteur privé coûtent plus cher et qu'ils sont moins efficaces que ceux fournis par le secteur public." Mais comme l'auteur et humoriste Artemis Ward l'a déjà signalé: "Ce n'est pas ce que les gens ignorent qui leur cause des ennuis, ce sont les choses qu'ils savent ne pas être réellement ainsi." La morale de cette histoire? Tout comme personne ne souhaiterait être traité par un médecin affirmant avoir appris sa profession dans des publications économiques, nous devrions éviter de puiser nos données économiques sur les soins de santé dans les publications médicales."
