Reinventing Ontario: The New Economy

The "Reinventing Ontario" series focuses on new ways to create an innovative and sustainable economy in the province, an economy that will meet the challenges of the 21st century and maintain Ontario's role as the economic engine of the country. In this episode, "The New Economy," business leaders, economists, and leading academics discuss Ontario's economic future, especially the steps required for building competitive industries and creating sustainable jobs.

The episode features interviews with Don Drummond, Chief Economist for the TD Bank Financial Group; Janet Ecker, CEO of the Toronto Financial Services Alliance; Laura Stephenson, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Western Ontario; and Gerald Butts, CEO of World Wildlife Fund Canada.

You clearly have no idea what AgendaCamp is about - I'm curious to know what you do for a living though. What parts of promoting a good education and more skilled labour leads you to think these people are part of the "globalist elite," or that that's a bad thing in the first place?

Ontario needs to reinvent itself, plain and simple. If it doesn't, we'll be stuck with a 9-10% unemployment rate for years to come. When you're out of a job, you'll be begging for these people's ideas.
