Basically, investing in science, technology, education, research etc.
Good paper here if interested |
I agree with some of that but not all of that.
4) Pissing away money on pet projects, currying favors with political friends and special causes.
Why can't we just make a commitment to education primary, secondary, and research and let the increased intelligence the province gains decide for itself the direction of a future economy. I'd rather we have a good educational system and saved money in the Heritage giving us a future budgetary advantage than having government sponsored economic diversity programs. A prosperous economic future isn't going to be blueprinted on the desk of a government bureaucrat.
