Your thoughts on this article?
Laura Jones, president and CEO of the BC Business Council, is not in favour of separating, but she understands the frustration around the lack of movement to boost the national and provincial economies.
“I am absolutely supportive of listening when people have concerns and taking those concerns seriously. I think that’s what makes for a great country. It’s often the friction that makes the pearls,” Jones told 1130 NewsRadio exclusively
“In Alberta’s case, they’re concerned that a number of federal policies have undermined their economic well-being, and I would say it’s not just their economic well-being. One of the things [Donald] Trump has done is give us a big education in the importance of exports to Canada’s economy.”
Jones says the BC Business Council is putting the final touches on a letter that’s set to go out to every MP next week outlining what is wrong with the economy and solutions to fix it.
“We have some very, very serious challenges in this country. Our economy has been flatlining for over a decade, whether you’re looking nationally or provincially, and we have to get serious about strengthening our economy, and this letter is about that,” she said. Jones says the council shares some of the same concerns that Alberta has recently highlighted. She explains that the council, like Alberta, would like to see the emissions cap on oil and gas abandoned, as the council thinks it undermines provincial and national prosperity.
She’s also calling for the federal government to cut bureaucracy annd red tape and improve tax and regulatory competitiveness — none of which are helped by growing deficits at both the provincial and federal levels.
“You do have to do a little bit to make sure that we’re an attractive destination, as a big project might be looking at what kind of return they can make in Canada versus the U.S. or versus other countries. You want to be in the mix for that, and that means you have to be competitive,” she said.
Jones doubles down that in the face of ongoing threats from the U.S. administration, now is the time to not only improve the economy but to ensure Canada doesn’t have to rely on other countries.
“I think interprovincial trade should be table stakes for everybody, but this letter is going to MPs, and it’s actually the premiers who have the most influence over interprovincial trade. And we are hopeful that we will see some bold action on interprovincial trade, but I have to say… that talk is plentiful, action is harder to come by.”
I agree with the BC Business Council.
There is too much bureaucratic red tape and too many interprovincial trade barriers between provinces.
Carney needs to step up, listen to business leaders across the country, and get our economy going.
Talk is cheap. No more slogans like "elbows up!" Get to work Carney and work with the premiers and listen to the ideas from BC business leaders to grow the economy!
Make it easier for businesses in different provinces to do business.

Anyone with half a brain knows the skilled labour isn’t there, and the government isn’t going to be able to fulfill promises in their training in time to fulfill their promises, period.
But let’s focus on the platform of the party that has no power again, that’s an effective strategy.

So using statcan data comparing the 2007-2015 period of Conservatives versus the 2016-2025 period of the liberals,
Housing starts under the conservatives: 1759974
Housing starts under the Liberals: 2075768
So 315,794, or 16% more housing starts under the Liberals over a 9 year period.

What is the composition of the types of homes built? Condos vs townhouses vs sfh? Was the housing that was actually in demand being built or was it just tiny condo units geared towards boomer investors.

Obviously there’s far more to the story. The influx of people to Canada during those times would be an interesting comparison.

Canada started marketing itself for wealthy foreign investors to buy property in 1986 under the Mulroney government if you're looking for what caused all this.
Foreign investors aren't the only problem, but there's no doubt that triggered local investment in housing. Homes haven't been considered as a place to live since the 90s. Decades of touting home ownership as an investment first and a place to live second.
Reaping what we sow.

This woman's demeanour reminds me of what this board was like 20 years ago. Abrasive and confrontational. The rest of us grew up and chilled out.

I got accused of being pro-MAGA, anti-vaccine, anti-CBC, even though I have never made a post like that before. Look at how many people in this thread still think Poilievre is pro-MAGA Quote:

You are just hella salty since I called you out on your bullshit. You falsely accused an innocent person of being behind the car attack at the Lapu Lapu Day Festival. It was quite careless and malicious to false accuse someone and then write their name on the internet, where it could have been indexed by google if it wasn't for a mod editing your post.

I believe this was the person who asked where Jason was .. then he magically showed up.
Highly sus. Probably a figment of Jason’s imagination or one of his multiple personalities.
