Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

Best way to break up Canada? Try to change the constitution.

Even separating 243 square miles of real estate from a province of 415,518 square miles would require an amendment to the Constitution of Canada. The constitutional amendment would require resolutions from the House of Commons of Canada and the  Senate of Canada and resolutions from the legislative bodies of 7 of the provinces representing at least 50% of the population of Canada.

So, good luck to anyone hoping to separate Canada from a Monarchy, or separate a province from Canada.

From the Tor Sun, so take it with what ever helps you take medicine.

Gotta love how the sun took 40% of manufacturing and turned it into 40% of canadian businesses. Cause thats not deceiving at all. The loss of manufacturing is expected, especially in a trade war with an American administration whos said they want to eliminate our manufacturing.

Not sure where this goes.

Halifax - able to handle the upcoming growth or not?

Canada’s defence spending boom has given Halifax a generational economic opportunity. But are its grand ambitions realistic?

There is a negative business trend, though, viz:

Canada’s 57% collapse: The missing entrepreneurs behind our growth crisis​

The country that built Shopify and Lululemon is now producing fewer builders than at any time in four decades. The data should alarm us​

Between 2000 and 2022, the number of self-employed Canadians with paid employees—the founders most likely to scale, hire, and challenge incumbents—fell by 57 percent, from 3.0 to 1.3 per thousand working-age adults. As Falice Chin documented in The Hub, this quiet collapse sits at the heart of one of Canada’s most consequential and least discussed economic problems: the country is producing fewer builders than it used to.

The broader picture is no more reassuring. Self-employment has slipped from 17 percent of total employment a quarter-century ago to 12.8 percent, the lowest share in 45 years. The business entry rate fell from 15.2 percent in 2008 to 12.3 percent in 2023, a fraction of the nearly 25 percent Canada achieved in the early 1980s. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business now describes an “entrepreneurial drought,” pointing to six consecutive quarters in which more businesses closed than opened—something that rarely happens even in recessions.

Canada’s 57% collapse: The missing entrepreneurs behind our growth crisis

Canada lost more than half its entrepreneurial activity. The reasons behind this 57% collapse reveal a deeper economic crisis most Canadians aren't talking about.

Definitely topical right now in the HRM.

This is where the city and province, anticipating the growth need to start getting houses built now.

Working n this space as I do, I fully concur.

This morning I happened to read all 62 pages of the CPC Policy Framework (it was on my reading list for some time). There isn't even a section, let alone a paragraph, on innovation, expanded access capital for startups etc, or even a mention of productivity.

Seems no one is listening.

Not unlike me with my chin ups, we’ve lost the ‘muscle memory’ in the stampede to make everyone part of the public sector over the past decade +. )
