Air Canada strike intervention shortens Carney’s domestic runway to land ‘Trump and trade’ deals, say strategists
‘Carney is going to have to deliver something big,’ says Liberal strategist Joe Jordan.
Nation building needs nation builders
Construction electricians, welders, and pipefitters will all be needed in large numbers. Without a workforce ready to deliver, even shovel-ready projects will get bogged down.
Carney was talking about Canada’s productivity problem in 2010. It’s now his job to fix it.
The challenge for the Carney government is to map a way out of this slow growth trap, which is why productivity, fueled by innovation and investment, is the key to a better future.
Air Canada mess is a lesson for government
The government’s goal of reducing spending across the board is too much like Air Canada cutting all of its flights overnight without due process. Budgeting is both about money and effectiveness. When the focus is only on the money, the link to the end user’s satisfaction is broken.

The government’s move will likely be struck down in court, says labour law professor Ravi Malhotra, but litigation takes time, giving the employers ‘an advantage’ in labour disputes when the feds step in.
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.
