Short Takes: Cash for Clunkers and Pension Plans

1. Preet explains the new “cash for clunkers” program in the U.S. that pays people to trade in old gas-guzzlers for a fuel-efficient car. Maybe this is a business opportunity for Canadians to sell their old vehicles to Americans who want a new car, but don’t have a clunker to trade in.

2. Big Cajun Man reports that membership in registered pension plans actually rose in Canada during 2007. It seems a safe bet that this trend reversed in the past 17 months.
