In other news the US consumer savings rate is up around 5% now and heading towards 10%. The articles in the Globe etc. are actually over blown if you take a city the size of Lethbridge where there was something like 36 bankruptcies and you compare it to a similar sized city in the US we look pretty good. I guess it just gets people talking and makes for a splashy article that alarms people. I think our savings rates will also increase on par with the US.
