Macdonald-Laurier InstituteEarlier this week, MLI Board of Directors Chair Rob Wildeboer was quoted in Bloomberg, stating that “Canada’s advantage is in the process of going out the window,” referring to his company’s recent decision to build a new technical centre south of the border in Michigan rather than in its native Ontario.

As Executive Chairman of Martinrea, Wildeboer has intimately experienced the mounting challenges to Canada’s competitive landscape, chief among them high electricity costs and recent minimum wage hikes. He warns in the article that such policies will “kill the goose that laid the golden egg.” For the full article click here.
