The United States needs a strong Canada. But Canada is clearly falling behind the major economies of the world and is now under significant pressure from the United States. What can be done about Canada’s economic malaise? Is it a competition issue? Or something else – protectionism, intra-country trade barriers, failure to diversify markets, a corporate governance and government regulatory environment that prioritizes limiting risk and maintaining stability? Dany Assaf, a globally recognized competition and foreign investment lawyer at Torys, and Walid Hejazi, a professor of international business, economic analysis and policy, at University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management, join me on the podcast to discuss their new book (with Joe Manget) Everybody’s Business: How to Ensure Canadian Prosperity Through the Twenty-First Century. Have they diagnosed the causes of Canada’s stagnation, and have they identified the solution? We discuss.
