My advice as always is to obtain the best talent possible. Canadians who are high performers and the most ambitious want opportunity. 95% of this talent won't obtain it if they stay here. So do top foreign citizens, and they won't find it in Canada as they soon find out if they choose here for school or professional careers.

The Canadian System is designed to reward nepotism of government and the covert police apparatus while we lose our best talent and trample civil liberties It seems they are concerned that Bidens admin will poach our best while leaving us the bones again.

No wonder Canada is doing all they can to keep the border closed. The truth is, we deserve this fate. The least impressive among us are rewarded while the best are stifled. We were never the more desired spot, Trump or no Trump.

OTTAWA — Canada's top central bank warned Tuesday that this country will face a fight to retain and attract top talent when the White House gets a new occupant next month.

Protectionist policies and attitudes stemming from U.S. President Donald Trump have helped make Canada a more attractive landing spot for global talent over the past four years.

But the advantage for international students and workers is likely to disappear when Trump leaves, Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem said in a speech to the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade.

He said being welcoming to newcomers can boost the economy and increase exports in goods and services needed for a recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Macklem also said Canadian schools and companies may have to fight harder to attract and retain talent after Joe Biden is sworn in as president.

But Macklem warned that fighting for talent isn't enough on its own to create a sustainable recovery, noting that governments must also invest in infrastructure and remove internal trade barriers to help exports recover.
He said federal and provincial governments have co-operated often through the pandemic, suggesting it could finally lead to an end to interprovincial trade hurdles that stymie the movement of goods, services and professionals.
