The next Liberal leader or leaders will need to focus a lot on economic growth and having a very broad based strategy for improving Canadian's economic wellbeing.
It was discussed by a lot of experts early on that the Trudeau Liberals never took the above seriously and just kind of moved money around, came up with expensive programs, splashed the DEI thing around and didn't address the concerns for the economy. That did work for a little while but then it became a bigger concern the last few years where they were assisted by USELESS Conservative opposition leaders and weak leader in Jaqmeet who did whatever he was told to do by the Liberals.
Canada faces a lot of economic challenges that need to be met. We have fallen very very behind and it will take a lot of innovation and smart thinking to get us back.
The lack of Canadian competitiveness and productivity has been a problem for decades but is exasperated now. I have said it before and I will say it again, Canadian's are not the smartest bunch but we have been blessed to live next to the global superpower and blessed with natural resources. The simple fact is that is pretty much all we do! Trade mostly with the US, extract resources and export them cheap and have a bunch of oligopolies.
This isn't an economic strategy and we have opportunities for way more. We need to get way smarter going forward. We need a coordinated industrial policy, we need to actual foster innovation within Canadian business to actually be able to compete, not just raise prices and come up with junk fee's for Canadian's. We need rapid decision making and we need to be able to cut out the nonsense regulations and interprovincial trade barriers. We literally have these stupid campaigns about " Alberta is calling, come on by" "BC is where to be" "Regina, SK: The place that rhymes with fun"
We can't even accredited professionals and trades people properly if they have been educated in this country but in different provinces. This is literally 3rd world stupidity.
Whoever the next Liberal leader is, and my bet is on Carney, they have their work cut out for them whenever they get into power again.
