Finally. We need to create skilled people HERE. Train people who otherwise couldn’t find a job.
The permanent capital gains exclusion for transition to employee owned businesses is a huge plus for me as a socialist adjacent person.
Making this permanent allows an important jump in certainty for SMEs that are succession planning. Additional grants on top of this type of implicit subsidy would go a long way. I’d love to see a crown corp akin to Export Development Canada created to both provide credit and ensure owners had the support of a team of professionals. At present we seem to have a patchwork of social enterprises assuming this role.
Hopefully also stems the tide of PE gobbling up smaller businesses.
The Carney budget finally prioritizes people who actually build things. Training 100,000 skilled trades workers is a direct investment in the infrastructure and housing we need. It is a win to see federal spending shift toward tangible labor and away from administrative bloat.
I can’t believe Carney is doing this. I’ve been talking about something like this for years. The long-term returns we will see from developing our own skilled workers at home will mitigate any current incurred deficit. This makes me ecstatic for how much job growth will come from this program. Absolutely huge.
Just a quick aside here, because I do think it’s worth mentioning, but this is not the budget of a moderate centrist.
And more importantly, the level of spending by this government is comparable to the Trudeau government and is not a walk back at all.
Clearly, this is the real direction that the Liberals wanted to move to, now that that they’ve secured their majority and I’m doubtful that they will be throwing any more bones to Conservatives.
10 years ago, we had a balanced budget. Now we have a $60 billion deficit, and no plan to ever go below a $50 billion deficit.
Fiscal discipline has been completely abandoned in this country. It’s just spend, spend, spend.
If Carney wanted to do something truly transformational and courageous with his infinite political capital, he would undo Trudeau’s worst policy, and raise the OAS age back up to 67. It makes no sense to keep the retirement age where it was set in 1970when people are naturally living longer. Raising the age by two years would save billions, and stem the transfer of wealth from young people to well-off retirees.
