THE PAIKIN PODCAST: On the economy, is Canada its own worst enemy?
Jim Balsillie argues Canada risks becoming a low value-added petro state and says foreign investment is overrated in his economic sovereignty plan.
- On Saturday, Jim Balsillie appeared on The Paikin Podcast to urge a made-in-Canada economic sovereignty plan, with Steve Paikin hosting the show that runs every Saturday.
- Describing the root causes, Balsillie said Canada is sabotaging its own economy and operating from an outdated playbook that has consigned it to a low value-added petro state.
- As context, Jim Balsillie built Research in Motion, turning an idea into $20-billion in global sales, and co-founded the Council of Canadian Innovators and the Digital Governance Council.
- He proposed concrete steps, arguing foreign investment is overrated and outlining ways to build a more sovereign future for Canada on The Paikin Podcast; recent episode that dropped this week.
- Given his profile, Jim Balsillie's status as retired Research in Motion CEO and founder of policy bodies lends weight to his claim that foreign investment is overrated.
