Halifax Harbour cleanup opponents all wet

By Atlantic Institute for Market Studies| 2000-03-01T00:00:00+00:00 March 1st, 2000|In the Media|

In his regular column for the Halifax Chronicle-Herald, AIMS President Brian Lee Crowley examines the criticisms now being levelled against the Halifax Regional Council's plan to clean up the Halifax harbour. He argues that most of the criticisms of the proposed public-private partnership doesn't stand up to scrutiny, and Council should move forward with their plan. Doing so will mean significant benefits for taxpayers, and the preservation of Halifax's reputation as a good place to do business. Publication: CHH, March 1, 2000.

Five Easy Pieces: AIMS Solves the Deficit Puzzle

By Atlantic Institute for Market Studies| 2000-02-01T00:00:00+00:00 February 1st, 2000|Op-ed|

So you think that it’s hard to cut $500-million from the spending of the province of Nova Scotia? That the government’s huge annual deficit can only be eliminated by painful cuts to vital public services, or by putting hundreds of public employees on the unemployment line, or by jacking up taxes? Think again. In fact it is relatively easy to eliminate that $500-million deficit within three years, thus bringing the budget into balance. And it can be done without cutting a single public service that Nova Scotians regard as essential to their well-being, without raising a single tax or imposing any new health care charges, and without firing one single employee of the public sector or forcing anyone to take unpopular unpaid leave. Moreover, certain classes of underpaid civil servants will get raises and, at the end of the three years, there will be room for tax cuts or debt reduction.
