O último número da revista The Economist traz um artigo sobre o Canadá e o seu vizinho do sul, que se aplica em parte a Portugal e o seu "vizinho" do norte.
O artigo intitula-se "To see off the Trump challenge, Canada must fix its productivity problem, says Michael Ignatieff":
"Canada's GDP per person has been shrinking by 0.4% a year since 2020—the worst rate of the 50 most developed economies. Productivity fell from 81% of the American level in 2000 to 68% in 2023. In the same period, Canadian investment per worker tumbled from 60% of America's to 41%.
Lagging productivity has cascade effects: stagnating revenue means higher debt-servicing costs, crumbling hospitals, schools and roads, and stagnating wages that leave young families priced out of housing. Public discontent feeds political disillusion. People lose faith in government because they feel a growing disconnect between its capacity to deliver on basic expectations and the promise of Canadian life. If the gap between American and Canadian living standards continues to grow, the threat to the future of the country will come not from Washington, but from the steady haemorrhage of young Canadians moving south for a better life."
