In her second State of the Province address, the New Brunswick premier warned that social progress now depends on blunt economic choices – and challenged business and government alike to start playing
Funny...I have been trying to get in on the Provincial Economic Prosperity card game for 25 years. And still can't even get Government or media to listen to my ideas. I think I have a pretty good hand. Its a 'Free Tourism Advertising for many years to come'.. hand. ... Still holding it!
Crisp description of a coherent plan. One breakthrough that can massively multiply primary care capacity is for government to fund seamless EMR access (electronic medical record) for all of the healthcare providers of every citizen — not just those working under the roof of a few dozen collaborative care clinics. It will allow immediate interprofessional collaboration without costly unnecessary co-location. The tech is available today at low cost.
An example of the industrial innovation and productivity tools she spoke of, and which we’ve been hearing about for years. We used to call this value-added products and services. New labels, same concept: deliver higher value goods and services with lower production costs. Why do you think some places are better at this than others?
New ideas are difficult to introduce here? I think that's what you're saying? I'm guessing you weren't referring me to the National Institute of Health. 😀 If I guessed correctly, then yes.
Fascinating framing of the social-economic trade-off as a poker game. The five levers approach is actualy pretty coherent, especially the productivity emphasis over just subsidizing low-wage work. I've noticed a lot of regional governments struggle to articulate why economic growth matters for social programs, but tying it directly to health care funding makes the stakes concrete. The 238,000 without primary care stat really underscores why this isnt optional.
Yes, the speech reflected what I’ve been hearing for months from business people and people in Carney’s circle that Canada’s social democracy is predicated on driving economic growth.
