    By Murray Dobbin - July 12, 2010

    Watching the results of the G8/G20 meetings was like hearing news that a giant comet is heading for earth and we are just waiting for impact. Those meetings of the world's largest and/or growing economies committed governments to massive deficit reduction in spite of the real concern that we are facing the possibility of a so-called "double-dip" recession...Leading the charge on this ideological lunacy was none other than free-market Ayatollah Stephen Harper whose passion for diminishing the role of government is unmatched by any of the other leaders who showed up in Toronto.
