Oh Lord, this is about the people's economy. May the leaders be given guidance to make policies that really side with them, not just flashy megaprojects.

This is a wake-up call for the provincial government. Legal certainty is key-don’t make it harder for investors to get permits when they’re already willing to come in. If this keeps up, it’s small businesses and low-wage workers who’ll end up taking the hit.
