Bank of Canada senior deputy governor Carolyn Rogers gave a speech in Halifax on Tuesday in which she sounded the alarm on Canada’s flagging productivity rates.
It really is. There’s no good reason for the world’s most educated country (by a reasonable margin) to be like this. The bad reason is that we’re so damn bad at anti-trust, and so our market is stuffed with oligopolies that just coast. Is there any news on the revamped competition act?

I still can’t believe Rogers was allowed to buy Shaw.
The CRTC has been bought out by big telco. And this gov’t allowed it to happen.
It’s crazy, as far as I can tell the standard of proof for anti-competitive practice was so high nobody with decent lawyers could ever reach it.
I haven’t heard of a new competition act. Is that a thing?
Yeah. I looked it up, law as of the end of last year. I guess it just hasn’t bitten anyone yet.
