Canada’s existing competition regime is unfair for small business. We surveyed over 1,000 small business owners to understand how competition policy has affected them.
The key findings from our survey are:
- Small businesses are increasingly dealing and competing with larger companies
- The increasing size of companies is making it harder for small businesses to compete
- Small business is increasingly affected by concentrated industries
- Small business owners see mergers and acquisitions as a driver of these issues
- Small businesses want more active government engagement to ensure they can compete in a fair marketplace

Could increased employee ownership restore confidence in Canada’s economy? | The Hub
As companies consolidate under ever larger pools of private capital, there’s growing unease around who’s actually benefiting from corporate growth. Falice Chin writes in The Hub that it’s no coincidence, then, that voices across the political spectrum are now revisiting models of employee ownership as a potential antidote to widening wealth inequality, fading community ties and a growing distrust in capitalism itself.

Canada can’t become a sovereign country by doing the same old things, explains a new compendium of essays co-sponsored by the CCPA, the Centre for Future Work and several national civil society organizations.

Pipelines and algorithms aren’t going to save us | The Hill Times
Smart investments in natural resources and AI alone will not get us through this moment of geopolitical rupture. As Matthew Mendelsohn writes in an op-ed for The Hill Times, SMEs contribute just over half of Canada’s GDP and employ 64 per cent of our people. We have to make more low-cost capital available to the smaller businesses, locally owned enterprises, not-for-profits and social enterprises who crucially employ and reinvest locally, act as important local economic infrastructure and provide services that are crucial for well-being. They are automatic stabilizers in the face of tariff threats outside our control.
