Key takeaways from The Real Economy, Canada: Summer 2021

  • President Biden’s new U.S. industrial policy points to deepening trade frictions between Canada and the U.S., while stagnant business investment poses problems for long-term economic development.
  • Total business investment remains over 14 per cent below pre-COVID levels, which could signal trouble for Canada’s long-term economic development.
  • Digital transformation has significant benefits for not-for-profits, particularly those seeking to grow the size and level of engagement of their donor base.
