I am pleased to announce that the Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) Program is officially accepting applications for summer 2019. The Canada Summer Jobs program provides employers the chance to create much-needed summer job opportunities for young Canadians, while strengthening our local economies and communities. These summer jobs allow for youth to gain experience, learn new […]
The development of small modular reactors (SMR) is a big opportunity for Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL). Big is not always better, and in this case there are a number of benefits for Canadians. Recently, CNL hosted in Ottawa the premiere screening of ‘The New Fire.’ Filmed across four continents over the course of 22 months, […]

In addition to affecting property values, people who work at Canadian Nuclear Laboratories in Chalk River have every reason to be concerned for their jobs also.

It has been a rough year for agricultural producers. Carbon taxes have seen energy prices soar. High rainfall in Eastern Ontario has delayed planting, and rotted crops. Our largest trading partner has demanded an end to supply managed sectors. Yet the Trudeau government thinks our farmers can handle a few more punches. Without waiting to […]
Last year it was campgrounds, this year it is doctors and small businesses in general. The Trudeau Liberals are willing to risk killing jobs, especially scarce in rural Canada. Can small businesses survive the impact of a 93 percent tax, without cutting jobs? That is the combined tax rate estimated by Armstrong Economics. July […]
