A delegation from Germany is visiting Canada in the coming days to scope out how our legal system is going here. 1 takeaway may be: Canada clearly over regulated the sector, which helped make the public health policy a success, but private sector profits are nearly nonexistent ??

That's an odd conclusion. Couldn't you equally well argue that they *under regulated* - let a small number of mega corps run riot - creating oligopolies & a doomed speculative bubble?

Establishing a more diverse equitable mkt structure would have avoided much of this.

Sorry, no. No one in Canada thinks this industry is under regulated. That's crazy. "Establishing a more diverse equitable mkt structure" is what I've been writing about for 5 years.

I rate your analysis - I just don't follow the logic here. Doesn't the corporate meltdown suggest a huge regulatory failure?

Yes and no. I don't think it was a public policy goal for the Canadian gov't to prevent oligopolies.

I view the corporate meltdown as the result of very poor business decisions mostly, and irrational investors.

Note: the Bundestag document is only availabe in German - but Google translate does a decent (but not perfect) on it.

Similarly - there are only a French and Spanish versions of our 'Strategies for reform' briefing at this point.
