Postponing a major capital project now will only cost us more in the long run if it's ever built. That's the financial reality of making a decision like that in the midst of high inflation and increasing construction costs according to Moshe Lander. The Dalhousie and Concordia Economics Professor says the economics of postponing expenditures is based on an incorrect assumption about what will happen when record inflation rates settle back down. But what makes sense economically is not always the best political decision. Lander offers his thoughts on MLA salaries, the Premier's pay cut, as well as CFL stadiums and a permanent home for the Halifax Wanderers in this conversation.
