Oh No, Canada! Are We Watching Another North American Financial Crisis Unfold?

For some time during and after the financial crisis, it was fashionable to point to Canada as a paragon of fiscal and regulatory prudence. In the years leading up to the crisis, the Canadian government ran budget surpluses, which enabled it to stimulate the economy without creating huge debt loads we now see in Greece and Spain. In addition, the Canadian banking system faced stricter capital requirements and were more risk-averse than their American and European counterparts. Perhaps most important, Canada avoided the sort of real estate bubbles seen in the U.S. and Great Britain due to tighter lending standards and the absence of mortgage interest deductibility — at least until recently. For the past year or more, Canadian officials have nervously watched as household debt levels has risen to worrying heights, fueled by increased mortgage borrowing.

Remember the IMF of old -- that  flinty and hard-hearted guardian of fiscal rectitude? Could the Fund now be turning into something warm and cuddly? The old  image was  forged in the Latin American debt crisis of the 1970’s and 1980’s; the Fund became synonomous with austerity. As the lender of last resort, the IMF  insisted on deep budget cuts and big tax hikes in the countries that it helped: Argentina, Brazil, Peru, among others.  The hard line policies brought short term misery to millions of people and unpopularity for the Fund, and IMF  officials were burned in effigy.   Today, however, the Fund appears to be changing its tune, and softening its austere approach.
