The Canadian Century: Moving Out of America's Shadow

0/5 ( ratings)

One hundred years ago a great Canadian, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, predicted that the twentieth century would belong to Canada. He had a plan to make it so.

What happened? Canada lost sight of Laurier?s plan, and failed to claim its century, dwelling instead in the long shadow of the United States.

In a bold, fascinating and thought-provoking call to arms, Crowley and co-authors Jason Clemens and Niels Veldhuis envision Canada?s emergence as an economic and social power. While the United States has been squandering its advantages ? including making a series of bad decisions that precipitated a global economic disaster from which it struggles to emerge ? Canada finds itself on a path leading out of the shadows and into a new prosperity that could ? if we stay the course ? make us the envy of the world.

It won?t happen without effort, however. We must be prepared to follow through on reforms enacted at the end of the twentieth century, completing the work already begun. If we succeed, Canada can and will become the economic outperformer that Sir Wilfrid Laurier foretold, a land of work for all who want it, of opportunity, investment, innovation and prosperity. America?s performance, by contrast, risks trailing ours until they
embrace Canadian-style courageous and far-seeing reform.

Laurier did indeed predict the Canadian Century. He was absolutely right; he was merely off by 100 years.
