Consider question one of the consultation: “What investments do you think would best strengthen Canada’s economy, create good jobs, and help Canadians succeed?” It’s taken as given that Ottawa should spend more . Respondents select up to three answers from a spending list: post-secondary education, skills training, business subsidies , climate change, public transit and so on.From our newsroom to your inbox at noon, the latest headlines, stories, opinion and photos from the Toronto Sun.

For the third question, survey respondents can select up to five “important ways the Government of Canada can help build an economy that works for everyone.” The choices are — surprise! — more government “help” or “support” for the homeless, university graduates, the unemployed, visible minorities, the disabled, the 2SLGBTQI+ community, women and others. There are, in addition, vague proposals to advance reconciliation with the Indigenous population and reduce systemic racism..

As a result, from 1997 to 2007, Canada led the G7 countries in GDP growth and real business investment growth. Annual employment growth over this period was 2% in Canada, much higher than most other industrialized countries including the United States . And from 1996 to 2004, the poverty rate in Canada fell from 7.8% to 4.9%.
