Mike Moffatt | Are election candidates right on the economy? Kinda, sorta, say the experts

Was Windsor the hardest hit Canadian community during the recession? How solid is Stephen Harper’s record on the economy?

The Windsor Star turned to economists, including Assistant Professor Mike Moffatt, to check the facts.

Moffatt addressed the ambiguity of statements on Canada’s economy made by Essex NDP candidate Tracey Ramsey, Windsor-West Conservative candidate Henry Lau, and Windsor-Tecumseh Conservative candidate Jo-Anne Gignac.

“It’s hard to argue with statements so vague that it’s not clear what’s being measured,” said Moffatt.
