 The Harper government's decision last year to write off every penny of the auto aid and thus build it all into last year's deficit
calculation (which I questioned
at the time as curious and even misleading) has already been proven wrong. Since the money was already «written off» by Ottawa as a loss (on grounds that they had little confidence it would be repaid — contradicting their own assurances
at the same time that it was an «investment,» not a bail - out), any repayment will
come as a gain that can be recorded in the budget on the revenue side. Jim Flaherty has learned from past Finance Ministers (especially Paul Martin) that it's always politically better to make the budget situation look worse than it is (even when the bottom has fallen out of the balance), thus positioning yourself to triumphantly announce «surprising good news» (due, no doubt, to «careful fiscal management») down the road. The auto package could thus generate as much as $ 10 billion in «surprising good news» for Ottawa in the years to
come (depending on the ultimate worth of the public equity share).

Even back then, explains Marzari, a physicist
at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, his now - ancient handset took just 40 seconds to carry out quantum - mechanical

at times; * There are a surprising number of CRA staff in the various departments who are understanding and helpful; * As I have stated in earlier columns, there are mechanisms built into the system that protect and allow taxpayers to challenge CRA where it is appropriate.
