The experiment with designer immigration in Manitoba province of Canada is unlike that in most other countries. Winnipeg has immigrants from India, Nigeria and other countries- parka dressed diversity where immigrants talk in Punjabi or Tagalog. And Manitoba's people welcome immigrants. With one ninth of the US population, Canada is eager for growth. It gets twice as many immigrants relative to its population than the USA. There is no border like the one the US has with Mexico. and this removes large scale immigration. Canada uses a point system to select immigrants and this convinces the people that it is getting the immigrants that Canada needs. Winnipeg gets about 600 immigrants a month.

With a credit led expansion, and credit flowing as rapidly as in 2009, China faces some difficult choices in 2010. Inflation's annual rate rose to 4.4% in October 2010 from 3.6% in September. China's CPI target is 3%. October 2010 saw an additional $89 billion of new loans, and China is floating on a sea of credit. The question is how econmic growth can be maintained once this slows.

The Dodd-Frank financial overhaul bill passed in July 2010 has a requirement that issuers of mortgage securities hold onto 5% of the risk of mortgages packaged into securities. Regulators were required to to write the rules for certain exempted loans called "qualified residential mortgages" for which the rules do not apply. Kenneth Rosen of the University of California, Berkeley, says the requirement aims at avoiding the catastrophic risk-taking epidemic that caused the financial crisis of 2008. Federal regulators have till December 2010 to write the new rules. But financial trade groups and firms are already pressing their views on what they would like to see exempted from this crucial 5% requirement.

A letter to the Editors of the Wall Street Journal refers to German Finance Minister Schauble's comment: "The USA lived off credit for too long, inflated its financial sector massively and neglected its industrial base." He also cites President Barrack Obama's former head of the Council of Economic Advisors, Christina Romer's comment: "Germany's reliance on exports rather than domestic demand ... is very hard on its trading partners." And laments that we are reduced to a long-shot prayer of begging countries like Germany to cut their current-account surpluses. He says, how about trading "our economic advisors for theirs."
