      Yeah, but then we wouldn’t be able to blame the Orange Cheeto for all of our woes

      Wow its almost like they have been saying this for 10 years.

      But the boomers fell for the elbows up media crap.

      We were falling behind well before trump and his problems came along

      Edit:

      Since this is being downvoted into oblivion:

      Here is a source:

      While i dont love the source the numbers are accurate and cant be spun. Economic productivity declined for a decade under JT. The Americans prospered that predates trumps threats

      Even the liberals think we have a regulations issue otherwise they would not of needed the Nation Building Projects bill. Funny how instead of changing the regulations though they let businesses lobby the government directly for a yes/no.

      I too would be complaining about red tape if I owned a business in these areas out of self interest.

      The red tape in Canada is awful. It completely constricts any small-mediun business and just ensures a small group of big businesses run the country

      I’d rather have red tape than no tape.

      That tape is red to keep industry going too hard on the herd.

      We ran a multi-million dollar legal firearms business in Canada.

      We paid multiple six figures in GST remittances and income taxes per year.

      We had no debt, profitable from day 1, employed Canadians.

      We followed every rule, jumped through all the hoops, laws and regulations of running a highly regulated business like legal firearms.

      The Liberal government destroyed our business with their 2020 firearms ban and subsequent bans.

      We closed up shop a few years ago, let go of all our employees, and have remitted $0 in taxes ever since.

      Canadians need to petition all levels of government to open up provincial trade across the board. Of course some players will no doubt take advantage of such a thing.

      I don’t know much about regulations but when I see how lax enforcement and rules are compared to Europe I’m inclined to believe they’re not.

      Mild example, CBC investigated that grocery stores have been charging the container holding meat as part of the weight which is illegal. 2 years later, revisited and same issue.

      Europe is the ones always adding regulations like pushing apple to adopt usb c while Canada does nothing. Most of these posts always claim red tape but never cite specific examples.

      bullshit. Industry will argue this until the cows come home regardless of the reality. They won’t be happy with anything short of zero regulation and will paint ANY as the end of the goddamn world

      „Ice cream companies complain that dentists won’t support them.“

      Look, I and everyone I know can think of a stupid rule or regulation or excess tax/fee that would make life easier for commerce and small business owners. But the sheer volume of these articles over the last six months should tell you everything you need to know. 

      This isn’t small businesses crying out for relief from overburdensome nanny state tyranny. This is large, vested corporate and resource interests who don’t want oversight or scrutiny. They’re paying for this message to be put out over, and over, and over again. 

      Small businesses, innovative businesses and cutting edge tech businesses should be supported and rewarded. Oil companies, grocery cartels, manufacturers that fail again and again to live up to their own promises? These should be forced to compete and show their worth before any further rewards are handed out.

      Which industry groups? Who’s on their boards? Who do their work for?
      Currupt, every one.

    19. AWE2727 on

      There is too much red tape in Canada. So much so nothing happens anymore and businesses just say f’it……
      We are our own worst enemy.

      „AND they won’t even let us dump toxic waste into the local water supply! All this red tape has gone TOO FAR!“

      Justin Trudeau didn’t resign before the tariffs because the economy was red hot. He tanked this country then Trump put the tariffs on.

    24. nakwurst on

      I’m sure their margins aren’t high enough, and their pockets aren’t deep enough. Industry group’s only job is to lobby for more money for their industry, that’s it. It’s never enough.

    25. MapleDollars24 on

      Good! These companies want to come in here. Take advantage of our workforce and pollute our environment. It’s called guardrails and they need them.

      Some red tape is absolutely nonsensical and brutal, causing shortages in red seal skilled trades. In Ontario getting your 310t license is an absolutely convoluted mess that puts tremendous strain on employers, making it hard for anyone to want to bring on a first year apprentice. A combination of school to work back and forth with legal requirements around it, and a combination of X amount of required school and Y amount of required work experience being broken up is a nightmare.

      Michigan on the other hand allows someone to register with the State as a trainee in a category. A trainee is allowed to work on things and develop real world experience but a mechanic licensed in that category must also be recorded against that task. A trainee certificate lasts two years in any category.

      When a trainee is ready they can take a test with the State and if they pass it, they are licensed in that category. MI does not care how you learned, just that you did and can prove it.

      If you achieve your ASE, Michigan will issue a license based on the strength of ASE in that category.

      It’s not easy to pass the tests, but it’s much easier to obtain real world experience under the guidance of licensed mechanics, making it easier to get them into the field.

      Some red tape is put in place at the request of business because it helps said business build a moat around its operations……small competitors become mid sized competitors become large competitors, why not neuter the competitors with red tape before they can even grow

    33. WealthEconomy on

      No shit. Everyone has been talking about this for ever yet our government doesn’t do anything about it. It is not just an economic problem, most of the issues around building homes is government red tape at all levels.

    34. KrombopulosLives on

      that’s odd, i just got off the phone with industry groups and they didn’t mention this at all.

    36. raz416 on

      Yes yes so much yes. I hope they change the ways or we are doomed. It used to be doable bad and now it’s just stupid bad.
      I’m seeing government has people collecting pay checks but not wanting to move things. Specially if it requires them to sign off on it. Small business pays the price as time delay = financial losses or lost business.

      Crowsnest Lake fish have high contamination of Selenium in them, super hazardous to humans when ingested. The fish are leaching it from the lake, which is contaminated by a coal mine that was closed years ago, one they *swore* was all cleaned up and sealed up. Promise.

      The red tape exists for a *very* good reason.

    39. StickmansamV on

      We really need to get the provinces to all align on the same rules and processes for 99% of regulation. There really ought not to be significant differences between provinces for most things. I know they will be reticent to give up their power but we need a system for them to all get aligned with qualified majority voting. Getting all of the provinces together unanimously for extended periods of time is not going to happen. But they all need to get on board and be dragged kicking and screaming if need be.

    41. Strange-Salt720 on

      Canada is a bunch of provinces and territories that act as though they are all sovereign countries lol.
