Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1382 - Agenda for Mark Carney with John Ruffolo

Brian interviews John Ruffolo. John is Founder & Managing Partner of Maverix Private Equity. He says: now that 6 months of elections (US, Ontario, Canada) are now over, I don’t know about you, but I am exhausted. I would hope that the post-election ranting and cheer-leading end so we could get down to business with what really matters to Canada. Like I have repeatedly said many times, the shenanigans in the White House are a distraction and red herring for Canada. So, let’s focus in on what we can control. Canada needs to focus its energy on supporting entrepreneurs to unleash them to help bring Canada back on track and lead us through a rocky period what will ideally be a path for a longer term sustainable and prosperous future where Canada controls its own destiny. We need to build or rebuild critical industries and have sovereignty over them including data, communications, energy, food, health, and defense. We will have to rely less on imports and substitute where we can with domestic players. We will need to diversify our markets in which we export to and whether you like it or not, the US will remain a very large part of the puzzle.
