TORONTO
-- The Canadian economy
is coming off a “sugar high” from
stimulus measures as well as the
unleashing of pent-up consumer and
business demand, and is now
showing signs of a maturing
recovery according to the most
recent forecast by TD Economics (www.td.com/economics).
This will result in a more subdued
pace of growth averaging about 2
percent in 2011, marking a
downward revision of a half
percentage point from the TD

Home sales rise in August
Canada's real estate market did better than expected
in August as sales rose for the first time since
March. Sales of existing homes rose 4.1 per cent from
July, the Canadian Real Estate Association said today.
So far this year, CREA said, sales are up 2.2 per cent
compared to the first eight months of 2009. B.C. and
Ontario led the July increase. Resale prices fell to
$324,928 in August from $330,351 in July, CREA said,
and are now 6.3 per cent lower than the record levels
they reached in May. What's the outlook? Here are
three views:
Commentary
The statements, opinions, or views in the articles may not
necessarily reflect that of the Goan Voice Canada.
We all know that the Digambar Kamat government has,
for long, misplaced priorities. It has always been
able to find a way to squander money. The Chief
Secretary and other officers are duty bound to audit
the plans and schemes the politicians want
formulated. Every paisa from the State exchequer
needs to be well spent and duly accounted for. It is
very surprising that bureaucrats today do not by way
of fiscal responsibility raise any queries or
objections on public money going down the drain. An
example at hand is the “Know Goa Programme”.
I received a couple of interesting questions from
readers about effective collaboration and
anticipating change.
Collaboration is critical to effective operations in
an inter-agency environment, but I have found that
consensus too often leads to mediocrity. How do you
avoid watering things down while reaching agreement
on an issue?

TORONTO - He

Farmers worried as rains may hit state’s bumper
crop
After an exceptionally good monsoon, farmers are now
hoping for dry weather even as a bumper crop is
expected this harvesting season. The meteorological
department, however, has predicted more rains as there
is no sign of the south-west monsoon withdrawing yet.
The director of Agriculture, Mr Satish Tendulkar said,
“This year we expect a very good harvest because of
good monsoon; however, we need a dry spell in the days
to come. Harvesting should start within the next 8-10
days if the dry spell continues. The water in the
fields should completely disappear, especially in the
coastal areas of Salcete, Bardez and Tiswadi.” [NT]
