Don Mills and David Campbell want you to embrace bold ambition for Atlantic Canada.
Description
What if Atlantic Canada could harness wind resources equivalent to Alberta's oil wealth or Quebec's hydroelectric power? Don Mills a career entrepreneur and social engineer and David Campbell, seasoned economic development expert with decades of regional insights, join us to challenge our thinking about Atlantic Canada's economic future.
The duo's new book "Towards Prosperity" couldn't arrive at a more critical moment. With the Trump presidency threatening Canadian trade and requiring a rethink of our economic positioning, Mills and Campbell offer a practical roadmap focused on resource development, immigration, and entrepreneurship that crosses political divides.
"We've (Atlantic Canadians) have developed a philosophy that we don't have to do anything because somebody else is going to pay for our lifestyle," Mills observes, confronting the uncomfortable reality that equalization payments from resource-rich western provinces have created complacency. The statistics are striking: Atlantic Canada has one public sector worker for every four employees versus one in five nationally – essentially "playing a man short" in wealth creation.
Are you ready to think bigger about our economic future? This conversation and their book will help change how you view Atlantic Canada's potential. Your can find Toward Prosperity: The Transformation of Atlantic Canada's Economy on Amazon and local bookstores.
