APEBC Webinar: The Impact of Scarcity and Political Disruption on Canada’s Business Climate

Economists have known for decades that Canada’s ageing population and low productivity growth would one day create fiscal challenges for governments. That day is now. COVID-generated inflation was simply the icing on the cake. Housing unaffordability was the final straw.

These economic realities have wide-ranging political ramifications. Pollster Greg Lyle of Innovative Research Group will share his company’s findings on the pressures facing governments and political parties, and offer his insights on how different parties are likely to respond.
