Britain remains a nation of hope and glory, but its collective spirit today needs a fresh lift. In his latest column, Jack Mintz reflects on the enduring optimism captured in Elgar’s Land of Hope and Glory – a melody that still resonates even as the country moves beyond its imperial past. He argues that while the UK’s historic confidence endures, a new wave of cultural and economic revitalization is essential to keep that hope alive.

When governments take ownership stakes in private companies, business decisions can become politicized, efficiency may decline, and taxpayer support often increases. Global experience – from the U.S. to Europe and Canada – show that mixed enterprises rarely outperform the private sector. The challenge ahead is ensuring policies encourage innovation and investment without blurring the lines between government and business.
New York mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani is making headlines with his affordability agenda, promising expanded free public services, social housing, and public transit subsidies funded by higher taxes. While the proposals aim to ease the cost of living for New Yorkers, economists and critics question their long-term effects on the city’s economy and housing market.
Europe’s economy is high-taxed, over-regulated, and underperforming – not a model Canada should copy.
