Canada’s economy keeps growing — but Canadians aren’t feeling it. In 2015, we ranked 6th in the world for GDP per capita. Today? 15th. Behind Ireland, Singapore, Norway, Australia — just ahead of the UK. So where is all the wealth going? 🧵

GDP per capita means your share of the economy. It affects your paycheque, housing, savings, and retirement. Canada added 1.25 million people last year — more than any G7 country. But we didn’t add the housing, jobs, or productivity to match it. More people. Same pie.
We’ve stalled what we’re good at. Oil, LNG, mining, and tech are delayed or killed by red tape We don’t scale what we invent. Canada funds world-class research but lets foreign firms commercialize. We’re not training for jobs that matter. Trades, tech, and skilled work
The US now leads the G20 in GDP per capita. They are building. We are stalling. We can fix this. Build what we’re great at. Scale Canadian IP. Train for real jobs. GDP per capita isn’t a stat. It’s your future. It’s time to build a country that works again.
