         <description><![CDATA[<div>So, you might be wondering how Canada is really doing in the face of the conflicting economic forces. The one constant in recent years is that Canadian consumers have been a steady source of economic growth. The Canadian economy appeared to be doing better than previously expected. <br>If the Canadian consumer can control their spending habits, and the economy continues to perform this way, Canadians would not end up in the offices of a credit recovery office like the one featured in the video.</div><div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_wP5oqLt_E">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_wP5oqLt_E</a></div>]]></description>

Although we (Jame and Irvin) do not find any problem working with numbers, we never took the time to study how does the economy of a country operates. So, it was surprising to discover that the driving force behind the economy of a country, is the power of credit of its citizens. Without loans or debt, a countries’ economy will not really develop. </title>

I have lost houses and cars. This is the closest example of the relevance of this subject in my life. I know first hand the damages and loses that one can experience when debt gets out of hand. James is very money conscious and carefully watches every dollar that he spends; he is a real saver.  <br><br></div><div><strong>Which research did you find most interesting and why?</strong></div><div>The part of the research that we found most interesting, was not within the scope of this assignment. It is the dynamic involved in the creation of credit and its impact on the economy. It left us convince that the best business to be involved in, would be the Banking Industry. If run wisely, the risk of losing money with a bank is almost zero. We thought maybe we should consider being  bankers or to have equity in a Bank.<br><br></div><div>     </div>]]></description>
