Canadian businesses are struggling while government jobs keep growing - Is this sustainable? In this episode of Canada Off Script, Randall Arsenault sits down with Howard Gold to break down Canada’s fastest-growing industry: the government itself.
From 2019 to 2023, government jobs in Canada grew three times faster than the private sector, leaving many wondering about the future of our economy, tax base, and opportunities for Canadians.
Howard reveals a shocking statement: a former Canadian premier who once ran for Prime Minister said Canadians will be thanking Donald Trump in 20 years. Why? Because Trump’s tariffs and trade wars may have forced Canada to finally diversify beyond the U.S. market.
In this episode, we discuss:
Why government job growth isn’t sustainable
How Canada’s private sector is being taxed and squeezed
What “thanking Donald Trump” really means for Canada’s economy
Why Canadians must look beyond the U.S. and embrace global markets
What this all means for the average Canadian worker and family
Canada has the resources, the talent, and the opportunity - but are we heading in the right direction?
Please share your thoughts in the comments: Will Canadians really thank Donald Trump in 20 years?
