Canadians do have some things to crow
By Tony Carlson
Canadians, as a rule, aren't world
beaters.
We used to brag about our hockey teams,
but that doesn't work too well any more.
From time to time, other Canadians–
sports heroes among them–dominate the
world stage for a season or so, but by and
large we're comfortable that our represen-
tatives did their best. After all, what more
can we ask?
Surprise, surprise, then, that in some
critical areas such as job creation and
economic growth, Canada stands second to
none. That's right, top of the heap.
Last year, growth in this country was
twice that of the United States, and equal to
that of Japan, that great symbol of
progress.
Just as important, in the last 18 months
the economy has produced, by the govern-
ment's count, 580,000 new jobs. That's more
jobs than all Western European nations put
together, and they have a combined popula-
tion 16 times larger than ours. As well, our
rate of job creation is 50 per cent higher than
in the U.S.
You're in good company if you missed
those rather important accomplishments of
the country as a whole. They were spelled
out in the recent federal budget, but not
many eaminentators,media or otberwise–
picked up on them, preferring
re as a f yeti concen-
trate on what they pe
le
CMS massacre.
What's interesting about the job creation
figure is that probably 70 per cent of those
jobs were created by small businesses in.
every corner of the land.
Obviously, this massive growth is not
spread evenly throughout the country, but
data collected by the Canadian Federation
of Independent Business show that fewer
small firms closed last year than in any of
the last 15 years. And that was the case in
every region of the country.
It's that kind of growth which prompted
the CFIB to battle against a value-added tax
(VAT) which would have loaded a new
paperburden on a sector which already
groans under the weight of red tape.
It's that kind of arnwth which sparked
WW1 business' support for the capital gains
tax exemption, and more flexibility in
Registered Retirement Savings Plans, as in-
itiatives which make it more attractive for
Canadians to enter small business–either as
owners or employees– and carve a niche for
themselves in the future.
It's that kind of growth which has kept the
CFIB pushing for a simplified tax system
for a decade and a half.
We may feel the fleeting sting of higher
taxes, but the moves to reduce the deficit
can only act to stabilize the dollar, bring
down interest rates and spur even more
growth.
It's that kind of growth that makes
Michael Wilson's latest budget look good in
the long run, that makes our future look
bright, that gives us something, at long last,
to crow about.
Ontario foods dazzle consumers
TORONTO -With a whole world of cuisine
at their doorstep, New Yorkers thought they
had it all until their tastebuds were tantaliz-
- ed by ` fine Ontario foods during a recent
t
THE BEST
MEAT
TO EAT
Macy's promotion.
Showing great enthusiasm, large crowds
of Americans turned out to try and buy On-
tario gourmet foods during a 12 -day promo-
tion at nine stores of R.H. Macy and Com- .
pany across the U.S., including New York.
"The promotion was a tremendous suc-
cess. It put Ontario gourmet food on the map
in some of the toughest markets in the
world," says Agriculture and Food Minister
Jack Riddell. "It exceeded all of the expec-
tations of Macy's executives as far as
customer volitine and sales."
About $1 million in sales is expected over
the next year for Canadian companies
because of the increased visibility and de-
mand created by the promotion. Companies
will work with the ministry to take advan-
tage of new opportunities created by the
promotion. Other American "retailers and
wholesalers are jumping on the bandwagon
and ordering products from various Ontario
companies.
The 12 Ontario firms that took part in the
promotion at stores in New York City, Long
Island, White Plains, Stamford, Albany,
Dallas and two locations in Houston, Texas
had sales of about $150,000. Other Ontario
products also sold. well during the
promotion.
Many of the Ontario companies may be
able to establish long-term relationships
with Macy's and other American retailers.
American consumers were delighted by
such exceptional Ontario' products as
preserves and chutneys, wines and coolers,
gourmet dressings and sauces, beuttery
shortbreads, mustards, relishes, pa
fine processed meats, gingerbread houses
as well as pure goat milk cheeses.
"The promotion increased the awareness
of Ontario products in a number of vital
American markets, while
also
of the helping nlit
to
develop a better appreciation
y
of our products," he said.
To kick-off the promotion, the. ministry
hosted a well -attended reception in On-
tario's Trillium Room in New York on
March 18. Representatives of leading
American news media as well as top
•retailers attended the reception.
As part of the promotion, contests were
held in Dallas and New York for a weekend
for two in Toronto with prizes provided by
Air Canada and the Toronto Harbour Castle
Hilton Hotel.
Companies selected by Macy's to take
part in the promotion were: Baker's House,
