The Hub recently initiated a very interesting conversation on whether conservatives should support unions (or not). As a former president of the Quebec Employers Council, I have a perspective on the matter which, hopefully, will prove useful.

Billionaires may live lavishly but they give back much more than they take, in investment, philanthropy and, above all, productivity gains.

Alberta’s shift to activity-based hospital funding could be the blueprint other provinces need to fix Canada’s ailing health-care system.

Net-zero policies might be lofty, aspirational goals, but we must not forget how these could affect us and that there are risks associated with intermittent energy sources.
