Canada at a Crossroads with Emna Braham and Tony Bonen
Leadership Perspectives: Economic Matters, Episode 25
Canada’s economy is being pulled in several directions at once. Tariffs and trade uncertainty are testing business confidence. Productivity challenges continue to limit growth. Artificial intelligence and automation are transforming workplaces. And demographic change is forcing Canada to rethink the future of its labour force.
The question is no longer whether these forces will reshape our economy. The question is how Canada responds.
In this episode of Economics Matters, we’re joined by Emna Braham, President and CEO of the Institut du Québec, and Tony Bonen, Executive Director of Economic Research at Signal49, to examine the challenges and opportunities ahead.
