Liberals set themselves up for turbulence on workers’ rights
Since stepping into the political fray, Prime Minister Mark Carney has pledged to do everything he can do protect the Canadian economy in the face of the threats from United States. But that economic lens has come with a set of blinders.
The value of lifelong learning
People are realizing they must study to keep up with rapid developments in science, business, medicine, and technology.
Carney government has two duties to younger Canadians, and one is to offer real hope
First, it must closely monitor employment and housing trends for younger Canadians as it sets economic policy, and second, it must show that the system works for them, too, and they can have their own Canadian Dream.
A strong economy depends on a strong social sector
We must invest in the social infrastructure that supports essential community services that return value to the economy and to communities.
Rural Canada: a national barometer and strategic economic imperative
The stakes are high. Seizing this moment requires vision—one that looks beyond electoral maps and embraces rural Canada as a cornerstone of our future economic prosperity.
Trade, housing, prosperity: none of it happens without construction
The truth is this: if the government wants to build the economy of the future, they need to partner—urgently and seriously—with the sector that physically builds it.
Official languages education sector disappearing thanks to our broken immigration system
Canada stands to lose more than revenue and jobs. We are losing a sector that strengthens our identity, boosts productivity, and fosters diverse communities.
To build a better housing market, stop taxing housing like cigarettes
The first thing governments need to do, collectively, is address the fact that housing is taxed at double the rate of the rest of the economy. Sin-taxing housing drives down the rate of homebuilding, just as cigarette taxes have driven down smoking rates.
Shooting ourselves in the foot: we can’t afford to misunderstand the temporary foreign worker program
Rather than imposing blanket refusals to process, and rigid caps on the number of foreign workers employers can hire, governments should work to build an immigration system that better meets the needs of local job markets.
It’s time we treat campus infrastructure as a nation-building project
Investments in universities are practical and high-impact investments that will create new jobs, deliver value for taxpayers and strengthen Canada’s competitiveness.
