Jeez if only an entire political movement realized this and had a plan to address it! Oh wait…

You can bet Carney will reduce the over-regulations.
He’s already simplified some federal-provincial regulatory requirements.
Carney is a finance/businessman after all.

Anyone have a list of projects under regulatory limbo right now? I feel like that would help give people an idea of what we’re missing out on right now.

I’m all for right-sizing regulations and eliminating duplication in review processes, but shockingly this representative of the energy industry is very biased towards severe under-regulation. Saying Canada should use Mexico or Trump’s America as a regulatory model is ridiculous.

Good fucking luck. It’s always fucking oil and gas too. The Conservative bunch are so excited to be a third world branch plant economy living next to the super power of the world. The Canadian Conservative literally equates oil to a sense of nationalism. The left was excited to piss away our funding over the past decade based on the left side of the American culture war crap.

we need to nationalize key infrastructure where there is no realistic competition or elasticity. Telecom is the first place I’d start. We paid for it, and rogers/telus/bell benefit. Our cellular data is some of the most expensive in the world. We need to make the internet and mobile networks public in Canada and manage them to provide consistency in affordable pricing, bolster security/privacy in a very vulnerable time, and create more independence for Canada in a world where we need to stand on our own. The internet and cell phones are a necessity in 2026, and have been long before that. The „free market“ has not resulted in lower prices, and when you compare other developed (and even developing) nations, Canada lags behind. There’s no excuse for that.
We need a balance of leaning into the free market when competition makes sense, and planning the core parts of our economy that can only be exploited by for-profit motives like healthcare, telecom, transit, postal delivery, etc. These are services, and they can be afforded and we can demand them.

I work in investigations and regulation (not energy). Canada will never go the way of the US and Mexico. If you want things to improve demand documented and transparent accountability. You submit an application, they acknowledge receipt, they have service standards and they provide you a name of the employee assigned and for what task. Subsequent steps and associated service standards are also cleat and transparent. A matter needs to be decided by a minister, a service standard exists and it is documented when the minister receives it, when they have reviewed it, if they request additional information, or it’s ready for disposition/decision making. Names, dates, clear accountabilities and service standards. It likely means hiring more people that do actual work instead of those that talk about the work or it means using available technology to improve systems and processes and that can only be done when chokepoints are actually understood.
