Canada and the United States share a continent but were founded on distinct philosophical pillars: the U.S. championing "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," and Canada built on "peace, order, and good government." These guiding principles have historically complemented one another, fostering prosperity on both sides of the border. Yet, as Canada faces mounting challenges—declining #productivity, a weakening currency, and an expanding yet inefficient government—our foundational strengths are eroding. As geopolitical dynamics shift, particularly with the inauguration in the U.S., Canada must look inward to rediscover its core principles and address the systemic failures that threaten our #competitiveness and #stability. Gary Edwards, PhD. delves into these pressing issues in his insightful analysis, exploring how a return to operational excellence could restore Canada's traditional strengths. I encourage you to read his article and join the conversation about how we can reclaim Canada's promise through better governance and leadership. #cdnpoli #onpoli #cusma #inauguration
As today's U.S. presidential inauguration unfolds, I offer a follow-up analysis to my post on corporate leadership styles that might shape Canada's political future. This analysis focuses on our two nations' foundational principles and the pressing need for federal leadership in Canada, converging at a pivotal moment in our history.
