Economy stalled
In his newly published book, Stalled, business commentator Michael Hlinka examines why the Canadian economy seems stuck in low gear.
His prescriptions, including a low minimum wage, less welfare, smaller government and low taxes, seem to come right out of a conservative playbook.
And yet after nearly a decade of Conservative government rule, most of it with a strong parliamentary majority, there are few signs that the Canadian economy is about to burst into life.
Hlinka says that in a democracy, governments can't force change down people's throats. The electorate has to be convinced. And he says that's a good thing. But it means that change may need an outside stimulus.
