Out Where the Wild Things Are.

In 2015, the United Nations established seventeen goals aimed at addressing pressing global challenges by 2030. These goals are known as Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). One of these, Goal 8, is Decent Work and Economic Growth. Decent Work encompasses fair wages, job security, good working conditions, and opportunities for skill development, crucial for a healthy and thriving economy. 

The goal of Decent Work and Economic Growth, is to fuel productivity, strengthen consumer spending, promote social stability, laying a robust foundation for sustained economic growth. Several key changes are present that will impact the goal of Decent Work and Economic. Geopolitics, slowing growth, potential recessionary pressures, evolving inflation trends, shifts in fiscal monetary policy and resource allocation are all poised to have an impact on the lives of people across North American and abroad.

Canada has long been a resilient thriving economy, and we are poised to continue our success regardless of any trade challenges that may arise. With a strong foundation built on innovation, quality, and a skilled workforce, Canada is well-equipped to navigate and withstand any tariffs or barriers that might be imposed. As Canadians, we should take pride in our ability to adapt and prosper, reinforcing our commitment to maintaining robust trade relations while also supporting the growth and prosperity of our homegrown industries. 

Canadians are fearful of what trade challenges may mean to their jobs, businesses and communities. Now is the time to come together, not pull apart. The world may feel uncertain, but the one thing we can always count on is the power of human connection. Reliable nations that uphold true democratic values will realign, seeking stronger ties with those who elect knowledgeable leaders. This shift will reshape trade, banking, and diplomacy, as countries move toward partners who value justice, liberty, and responsible governance. Democracy is not just about voting—it demands awareness, integrity, and accountability. Let’s remind ourselves—and each other—that we are always stronger together. Let’s turn that anxiety into action. Let’s get moving on seizing big opportunities. Let’s seize the moment instead of fearing it. While possible tariffs or barriers may increase costs, they shouldn’t shrink ambition. We need bold, decisive action.
