What does prosperity look like in Canada? This was the focus of a panel discussion at the @CdnChamberofCom’s Future of Business Summit for @cbcradio 's IDEAS with @NahlahAyed . For the @CdnCoalition_, it's about more than just economic numbers. It’s a reflection of opportunity and shared well-being. It's about every Canadian having the chance to thrive, contribute, and feel secure. Listen to the full Podcast, moderated by Nahlah Ayed, with panellists: ▫️ @lraitt Raitt, co-chair of Coalition for a Better Future and Vice-Chair, Office of the CEO at @cibc ▫️ Zita Cobb, Shorefast Founder and CEO ▫️ Kaylie Tiessen, Chief Economist, @CanShieldInst 📻 Listen here: app.magellan.ai/listen_links…. #BetterFutureforCanada

The @CdnCoalition_ welcomes a number of measures in the federal government's Spring Economic Update, which aims to position the Canadian economy to be more resilient in the face of geopolitical uncertainty and global trade disruption. The Coalition supports that intent — but warns that, in the current environment, announcements must be swiftly followed by execution.

Thank you to @michaelserapio @CPAC_TV for speaking with Coalition for a Better Future co-chairs, Hon. Anne McLellan and Hon. Lisa Raitt on Profile. As the co-chairs say, Canada's time for talking is over—it's time to execute! The Coalition #2026ScorecardReport (bit.ly/4tbKEK3) emphasizes the fragility of the Canadian economy and the urgent need to move from ambition to action for long-term, inclusive, sustainable growth. 📺 Watch the whole conversation here: bit.ly/4mEYEcX

The findings of the @CdnCoalition_ Scorecard Report are a stark wake-up call for Canada. 🇨🇦 As we reflect on 2025—a year defined by geopolitical rupture and domestic economic strain—the message is clear: It is time to execute. The fragility of our economic growth is no longer a theoretical concern; it is a reality felt by households at the grocery store and the gas pump. Our young people face a tough job market, with the youth unemployment rate remaining roughly double the overall rate. Read the #2026ScorecardReport to learn more: bit.ly/ScorecardReport2026

"The mood in this country is better than it was over the past number of years. Canadians are feeling more positive about key aspects of our economy and society. But also, there is a sense of urgency in Canada, especially around skills, reskilling and training. That’s why the tagline of the #2026ScorecardReport—'Time to Execute’—is so important. While these are uncertain times, I truly believe we are on the cusp of something great.”—Hon. Anne McLellan “By working together, Canada can reverse the current decline of productivity. The responsibility falls on all of us to ensure plans set out by both elected and non-elected leaders are carried through. Now, let's go out and build Canada!”—Hon. @lraitt Our co-chairs take the stage for closing remarks, rounding out today’s insightful and educational event.

"Data is something that's going to be very important going forward. Where the data is stored is very sensitive. Transactions with data sovereignty are going to be very important. It's going to be partially about deregulating, but also making sure the banks are more competitive, and giving them more room to compete with each other. None of these things you can do in isolation." @GregMcLeanYYC, Conservative MP for Calgary Centre and co-chair of the Conservative Economic Growth Council, addresses #2026ScorecardReport attendees during his keynote address. #BetterFutureForCanada #cdnpoli #cdnecon #livingbetter #growingsustainably

“Canada has the talent and training foundation but a paradox persists: strong education on one hand, and youth unemployment and underemployment on the other, with too little focus on real-world experience or innovation ... And students need to lean in as well.” Stephen Lucas shares his perspective on a conversation focused on the “workforce of the future.” Joined by @vcmancinelli and @claudio__rojas, and moderated by @michaelserapio, the panel delved into the essential skills and talent that Canada will need to drive and sustain long-term economic growth. #2026ScorecardReport #BetterFutureForCanada #cdnpoli #cdnecon #livingbetter #growingsustainably #winningglobally

"We need to build where the communities are. We are way too concentrated geographically and a small handful of cities. It is creating massive turbulence as it relates to our unity as a country. So how we design our economic policy needs to be regionally inclusive," says @claudio__rojas. "And then from there, we need to empower these enabling technologies like AI, quantum and others that cut across all industries, in order to drive greater efficiencies and greater economic growth across all industries." #2026ScorecardReport #BetterFutureForCanada #cdnpoli #cdnecon #livingbetter #growingsustainably #winningglobally
