In 1967, Canada was the ninth largest economy in the world; today, it is seventeenth. In terms of income per person, we've fallen from third to fifteenth. What kind of Canada are we really leaving our children? How do we avoid falling further behind in the twenty-first-century economy?

Join us for a special Canada Day episode of Chatter That Matters, recorded live a few weeks ago at the Toronto Hunt Club.

In this engaging episode, we dive into a thought-provoking discussion with three very distinguished guests:

  • Dany Assaf, co-chair of the Competition and Foreign Investment Group at Torys LLP
  • Walid Hejazi, a professor of International Business at the Rotman School of Management
  • Joe Manget, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of EHN Canada


Together, they are the authors of the compelling book “Everybody’s Business: How to Ensure Canadian Prosperity Through the Twenty-First Century.”

We explore the concerning trend of declining living standards in Canada and the growing belief among Canadians that the next generation will face even greater challenges. However, our guests are optimistic. They emphasize that it’s not too late to reverse this trajectory and ensure a prosperous future for all Canadians.

By refocusing our efforts on four fundamental pillars of economic development — best people, best tools, access to materials and resources, and access to markets and capital — we can regain our global standing and become a leading force in GDP growth, talent attraction, infrastructure and business-friendly policies.
