Peak Pals! We're re-airing some of our favourite episode of the Free Lunch podcast. today we're talking about productivity with William Huggins, a lecturer on corporate finance, economics, and statistics at the DeGroote School of Business, about:
What productivity is and how we measure it.
Why productivity matters for the economy.
Why wages have become disconnected from productivity.
Why Canada's productivity is lagging behind other developed countries.
How some countries without many natural economic advantages have supercharged their productivity.
What Canada can do to boost our productivity, and what it would mean for our economy.
Hey Peak Pals , we've decided to start dropping old episodes of Free Lunch into the feed on weekend. We don't air that podcast anymore, but there are still some really relevant conversations that were had and we want to give you a chance to listen to them again or maybe for the first time.

For a long long time, Canada has even been delaying the permanent residency and citizenship grant applications of people who lived here and worked and payed their taxes for more than 6-7 years, and government is not even trying to fix it. Instead , they are only pouring more money to IRCC and wasting more taxpayers money on this. We will see the effects of these policies on Canadian businesses in next 5-10 years.
