#BCBudget2023 offers up big plans to grow government, but little to grow the #BCecon, with no clear path to sustained per capita economic growth that supports families, businesses and government revenues. https://t.co/Jp2DdgQlii #BCecon#BCbudget
Canada is the 4th most indebted country among 29 advanced countries. The combined level of debt across all sectors of the #CDNecon - including households, businesses and governments - is 3.25 times Canada's GDP. Read BCBC's latest analysis: https://t.co/4fYrzVDMkm #CDNpoli
Together with @fnmpc and FNCI, we are pleased to announce a coalition that supports action to address climate change and achieve a just and prosperous economy for B.C. Learn more: https://t.co/qCSfyAABSi

The Fall Economic Statement was a missed opportunity to acknowledge & address the structural problems ingrained in the #CDNecon, including ⬇️ GDP/cap growth rate, ⬆️ indebtedness and 📉exports as a share of GDP.

Relative to other provinces, BC's #productivity growth compares well - this can be attributed to private & public sector large-scale capital investments since 2000. But as these projects wind down - what will take their place? #BCecon#GDPperCap#CDNecon

Equal participation by Indigenous communities in the #BCecon & #CDNecon is critical to closing social & economic gaps b/w Indigenous & non-Indigenous people in B.C.
Breaking down systemic barriers to capital is key on the #reconciliation journey.

BC's losing billions worth of projects in the northeast because one year after a landmark court decision, the government still hasn't finalized a new approach to natural resource permits with the Blueberry River First Nations.

My colleague @KenPeacock14 took a look at the disproportionate role the public sector has had in overall job creation in B.C. over the past 27 months #BCpoli#BcEcon#BCjobs
Three of every four new jobs created in the #BCecon since the start of the pandemic have been in the public sector.

The #BCecon looks reasonably well-positioned to steer clear of a #recession, but the external backdrop has deteriorated ⬇️ dramatically, & the threat of more persistent inflation means downside risks are mounting.

Any #EcDev strategy that seeks to strengthen and diversify exports must recognize the structure of B.C.’s export base. @KenPeacock14 maps out the top export products B.C. sells to the world. https://t.co/ksE7w8OJWm #exportimpact#bcecon#bcpoli
“The Canadian economy has fully recovered from the pandemic but the labour market is tight as a drum.” More insights from @jockfinlayson at #COFI2022 Still much economic work to do.
