Join me for a deep dive into Canada’s productivity problem with the brilliant Canadian economist Don Drummond. We explore why Canada’s small businesses struggle to scale, the policies that could help them grow into global industry leaders, and the critical need to reduce our dependence on American imports.
We also unpack the key entrepreneurial and cultural differences between Canada and the U.S. and what it will take to position Canada as a top destination for business investment. Don shares his insights on the tax policies he developed during his career at Finance Canada, along with some entertaining behind-the-scenes stories from his time working with former Prime Ministers Jean Chrétien and Brian Mulroney.
From tax policies to economic growth strategies, this episode is packed with fascinating insights and candid stories that every Canadian business leader, policy wonk, or economics enthusiast needs to hear. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges conventional ideas about Canada’s fiscal and tax policies—and explores the path forward.
With over 20 years of experience at Finance Canada, a tenure as Chief Economist at TD Bank, and now as a fellow in residence at C.D. Howe Institute and Stauffer-Dunning Fellow at Queen’s University - School of Policy Studies, Don brings his unparalleled expertise in the field of economics to this conversation.
