Release the Animal Spirits

Canada’s economic revival hinges on risk takers, not just policy papers. AEG echoes Derrick Hunter’s call to “release the animal spirits” of bold entrepreneurs. Clear, predictable policies unlock confidence, driving SME growth, job creation, and global competitiveness – essential for a resilient, prosperous Canada.

This Time Will Not Be Different

In 2009, economists Reinhart and Rogoff warned that when nations try to defy economic gravity, crisis is inevitable. Today, Canada is flashing similar red flags: soaring debt-to-GDP, falling productivity, and rising deficits. Despite historical evidence, we keep spending as if “this time is different.” But real prosperity is built by entrepreneurs, job creators, and communities from the ground up. At AEG, we believe change only comes when we act differently.
