Up till the libs fibbed small business has always been the driver of new employment... now it is as limp as most fags at a toronto parade with chow

That chart is gay clickbait. 938k to 935k in 14 mos? That's a statistical fart in the wind. Call me after 2-5 more years of decline, or it gets to 900k. (not saying it's not possible...)

Always remember, these content creators have to have something to say every day, something that will get them clicks.
 
Recent data shows negative net business creation (more exits than entries) for multiple quarters in 2024–2025—the longest streak in recent non-scamdemic history. Entry rates are at low levels, concentrated gains in sectors like health/education, and declines in retail, transportation, etc. cfib-fcei.ca

Insolvencies spiked earlier but have eased somewhat. This long ongoing stagnation aligns with reports of:
  • High costs (regulation, taxes, interest rates).
  • Weak productivity growth.
  • Challenges for small businesses (optimism dips, hiring/labor issues).

In summary: A minor net drop like this might be considered normal noise and not "serious" by itself. However, combined with flat/declining per-capita entrepreneurship, sustained negative net creation, and sector-specific pressures, it points to underlying weaknesses in Canada's business environment that has become extremely problematic and has been long unaddressed (e.g., slower innovation, job creation lags relative to population) which those paying attention are well aware of.

USMCA Status – Canada in Recession, Mexico GDP Grows Double Expectations
  • Canada has slipped into a recession, posting two consecutive quarters with a negative GDP outcome. There are multiple reasons for this shrinkage, but the dominant factor is, well, quite frankly, Canadian politics and economic policy.
  • Meanwhile, in Mexico the opposite is happening. Mexico’s economic activity grew 1.2% in April from the prior month, the national statistics agency said, compared with a revised increase of 0.6% in March and beating a forecast of a 0.9% increase in a Reuters poll of analysts. {source}
  • It is not coincidental to see the Mexican economy performing well, while the Canadian economy is contracting. Despite their identical proximity to The United States, each nation is currently executing a fundamentally different set of economic policies.
  • The Canadian government has been exceptionally combative with the U.S.A, leading to friction, tariffs and economic back-and-forth measures between the two nations.
  • The Mexican government has expressly understood the nature of their dependency, admitted it, taken no action to diminish it, and purposefully set out to align itself with the interests of America.
  • One datapoint that points to the USA-Canada disconnect comes in the auto sector. The Center for Automotive Research (CAR) reports that Canadian vehicle production dropped 15 percent year-over-year through April. It’s understood that factories in Canada built approximately 64,000 fewer vehicles through April than the year prior, while US production rose by roughly 44,000 units, or 1.2 percent. {source}
  • Auto manufacturing companies in Canada operate there as part of the business plan to sell vehicles into the USA. As Canada increases friction with the USA, which is setting up a dynamic of U.S. withdrawal from the USMCA, those auto manufacturers will increasingly shift production from Canada to the U.S. market.
  • It appears that Prime Minister Mark Carney’s response to this predictable auto-sector outcome, is to flip those production facilities into venues for Chinese EV production (BYD and Geely). However, Democrats and Republicans are united in alignment with President Trump on this issue and Chinese EVs will not be permitted entry into the USA. This is a very big point of friction.

Because we all know statistics are reliable.

How many business/franchise have become Indian owned in the past 10 years? It seems like half of my small little town is run by Indians.
 
Less businesses if it means less non-Whites in Canada is a good thing. Also, less businesses if it means less government spending to subsidize businesses is a good thing. More businesses isn't always a good thing.

The issue with Canada is that our government is taxing us extremely high, then spending that money and our population is growing yet we aren't having new businesses be developed.

I know a lot of people creating businesses using AI but they're all choosing to open the business up in different countries other than Canada because Canada's taxes are fucked up. Instead of adapting to the new world, Canada is trying to resist and double down on control. There's no innovation in Canada from our bureaucrats. Nothing good happens in Canada.

Fixing our country is easy. Our leaders are choosing not to though. The Canadian elite are fine with things the way they are. I'm quite convinced that World Elites see Canada as nothing more than a resource silo with a skeleton crew and infrastructure to access to resources when the World Elite need them. The less they can pay Canadians, the better.
