“Trump’s economic warfare is hopefully bringing to light how woefully unprepared Canada is as a nation to build wealth independence,” says Diraj Goel, the founder and managing partner of GetFresh Ventures. That may be the silver lining in the unpredictable hostility the President of the United States has directed towards Canada.
Goel goes on to say that Canada needs to stop inflicting economic injuries that are crippling our ability to innovate and grow. “Our future is handicapped because we've engineered a system that punishes ambition instead of rewarding it. I’ve witnessed it firsthand; it’s a reality every Canadian founder lives with daily.”
“The challenge entrepreneurs and innovators face,” says Goel, “has nothing to do with access to capital and everything to do with government policies that are designed to hamper rather than empower.”
We invited Diraj Goel to join us for a Conversation That Matters about the hostile business and wealth generation environment in Canada and what can be done to change it.
