‘Do no harm’: A recipe for government to help industries out of COVID storm

Real and permanent economic recovery can only be achieved if the government creates the incentives to let businesses lead the recovery, and supports that recovery by lessening the regulatory burden.

The food sector had very much hoped the government would consider introducing a temporary refundable tax credit in Budget 2021 to address the extraordinary expenditures incurred to operate responsibly in a COVID-19 environment. Alas, it was not to be, writes Jacques J.M. Shore. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade

In politics, a ‘near victory’ is a defeat

OpinionBY KEN POLK

Why did so many voters conclude that it was more important to stop Pierre Poilievre than to deny the Liberals a rare 'four-peat?' How can they win if federal politics are indeed a two-horse race for at least the near future?
